I've been masturbating for the past 6 years without actually removing my clothes, like on my underwear. Is there any chance this could lead to an infection?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Masturbating in this manner may increase the risk of developing a genital infection due to the warm and moist environment created by the underwear. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection. You can use antifungal creams like Clotrimazole 1% cream to prevent or treat any potential fungal infections.

View allA urologist diagnosed me with category 1 phimosis and recommended surgery, but I've heard homeopathic treatment might work instead. Is there any non-surgical treatment available for this? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other options.
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been having some issues that are making me worried. I'm a 21-year-old male, and I've noticed that if I drink a lot of water, within just 15 to 30 minutes I get an urgent need to pee and can't seem to hold it for long. I end up going to the bathroom 2 to 3 times within an hour. Also, if I eat more than usual, I feel like I need to use the latrine right away. I do have a 7mm kidney stone, and my doctor advised me to drink plenty of water. But now, with these symptoms, I'm starting to wonder if they could be related to diabetes. Could that be a possibility? It's really starting to bother me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Can fistula and hydrocele surgeries be done at the same time or is it better to do them separately I've heard mixed opinions and want to understand the risks and recovery process if both are done together
Fistula and hydrocele surgeries can be done together, but the best approach often depends on the individual case and surgeon's preference. Both surgeries are generally considered relatively low-risk, but combining them might slightly increase the risk of complications, such as infection or bleeding. The recovery process might also be slightly longer if both procedures are done concurrently.
