Accepted Answer

The recurring vibrating sensation on the tip of your penis, exacerbated by sex, urination issues, and temporarily relieved by antibiotic treatments, may indicate a chronic bacterial infection, such as chronic prostatitis or urethritis, possibly caused by a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like chlamydia or gonorrhea; however, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic and that the symptoms persist despite treatment suggests that other factors might be contributing, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve irritation, or an allergic reaction; consult a urologist

Question 6

I recently got a urine test done and it showed albumin in my urine. Im not sure what it means or why it's there. Could you tell me what might cause this and how I can reduce it?

Accepted Answer

Presence of albumin in urine (albuminuria) can be due to various reasons such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney damage, or urinary tract infection; to reduce albuminuria, your nephrologist may recommend lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy blood pressure and blood sugar level, reducing protein intake, increasing omega-3 fatty acids, and staying hydrated, along with medication if necessary.
