Question 1

I've noticed something strange lately. My foreskin and penis were just fine before, the foreskin used to roll back without any issuesno tightness or pain. After a day of heavy masturbation, the foreskin suddenly became really tight and doesn't roll back as easily as it used to. If I try to force it back, it feels like an elastic band is squeezing my penis. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

Accepted Answer

It seems you're experiencing a condition known as:

*Phimosis*

or foreskin tightness. This can be caused by:

- *Over-manipulation*: Excessive masturbation or forceful retraction of the foreskin.
- *Inflammation*: Irritation or infection can lead to scarring and tightening of the foreskin.

Symptoms:

- Difficulty retracting the foreskin
- Pain or discomfort during retraction
- Tightness or constriction of the penis

To alleviate symptoms:

1. *Stop forceful retraction*: Avoid pulling back the foreskin forcefully.
2. *Apply topical creams*: Use topical corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation.
3. *Practice gentle hygiene*: Clean the area gently with mild soap and water.

Accepted Answer

If you had unprotected sex with a sex worker, you should wait at least 14 days before getting tested for chlamydia or gonorrhea, and at least 28 days before getting tested for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Testing too early can lead to false results, while being tested too late can cause complication

Question 4

I'm feeling a bit worried because my doctor at Medanta Gurgaon mentioned that I might need frenuloplasty surgery. Are there any other options or alternatives to this procedure? I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some guidance.

Frenuloplasty is commonly recommended to treat a tight or shortened frenulum, but alternatives like steroid creams or stretching exercises might help in milder cases. It's best to discuss with your doctor if these options could be suitable for you.

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as dizziness, weakness, rapid heartbeat, and nasal congestion, after taking Alfoo, Levotas, and Chymoral AP, are likely adverse reactions to one or more of these medications; Alfoo (Alfuzosin) can cause dizziness and rapid heartbeat, while Levotas (Valsartan) may lead to dizziness and nasal congestion; Chymoral AP may also contribute to these symptoms; discontinue these medications immediately

I'm experiencing this intense headache that seems to start from the back on the left side of my head, but it only happens during orgasm. There's no lingering effect afterward, and everything else like my diet and sleep is normal. It's kind of worryin...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like the headache could be related to a tension or vascular response triggered during orgasm. While it's not uncommon for certain activities to cause temporary discomfort, if this continues, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any underlying neurological issues. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep, hydration, and stress management is important.
