I've been dealing with these rashes on my inner thighs for the last few days, and I thought it might be from vaginal discharge. But now it's gotten worse, and the itchiness has spread to my private parts. It's really uncomfortable and sore. Im not having any trouble when I pee, and there's no smell with the discharge. What should I do about this?

It sounds like you may have a yeast infection. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing can help alleviate symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My wife and I have been trying for a baby for a few months now. This month, her period lasted only half a day and it was just spots. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? We did a pregnancy test two days later, but it came out negative. Last time her period was 17 days late, but this month it was actually on time. This is the first time something like this has happened. Could there be something else going on? What's your take on this situation?

It is possible that a short and light period could be a sign of implantation bleeding, which can occur when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. However, since the pregnancy test was negative, it is less likely that this was due to pregnancy. A short and light period could be due to various reasons such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. It is also possible that the menstrual cycle may vary occasionally without indicating a serious issue. If this pattern continues or if there are other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've noticed these small white bumps appearing on the bottom part of my penis shaft for a while now, and recently there seem to be more. They're now covering most of the base and the underside of my shaft. Can anyone tell me what these might be and suggest any possible treatments? I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.

You may be experiencing Fordyce spots, which are small, harmless spots that can appear on the penis. These spots are usually sebaceous glands and are considered a normal variation. There is no need for treatment as they are benign. However, if you are concerned or experiencing any discomfort, you can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and reassurance.

I'm a bit concerned because my sex life used to be good, but recently I've noticed my penis isn't getting erect like it used to. I'm not sure what's going on and it's worrying me. Could there be an underlying issue causing this?

Erectile dysfunction can have various causes, including stress, anxiety, underlying health conditions, or medication side effects. It is important to consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can consider using medications like Viagra (sildenafil) at a starting dose of 50mg as needed, taken about 1 hour before sexual activity. However, please consult with a doctor before starting any medication for erectile dysfunction.

I'm really worried because my wife is 9 weeks pregnant and she's been dealing with a UTI. Her urine culture and sensitivity report confirmed it. Our gynecologist initially prescribed her Niftas 100mg twice a day for 10 days, but after 7 days we did another urine test and it still showed bacteria. The doctor now suggested Uriliser Stafcure cv 250mg and Pantop 40 for another week and then a follow-up urine test. We're both really concerned about the safety of these medicines during pregnancy. She's naturally hesitant to take meds right now and quite scared. Could you please advise us on what we should do?

It is important to treat UTI properly to prevent any complications. The medications prescribed by your gynecologist are considered safe during pregnancy. Uriliser helps to alleviate symptoms of UTI, Stafcure cv 250mg is an antibiotic that targets the bacteria causing the infection, and Pantop 40 helps to reduce stomach acid and prevent any gastric issues that may arise from the antibiotics. It is crucial for your wife to complete the full course of medication as prescribed to effectively clear the infection. UTIs can lead to more serious issues if left untreated, especially during pregnancy. Repeating the urine test after completing the course of these medications will help ensure that the infection has been successfully treated. Encourage your wife to follow the treatment plan as advised by the doctor for the health and safety of both her and the baby.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between PCO and PCOS because I've been reading about both and it's a bit confusing. Can you explain how they're different from each other? I'm also curious about the symptoms for each one and what kind of treatments are usually recommended for them. I've been experiencing some irregular cycles and want to know if it's related to either of these. Can you help me understand this better?

PCO (Polycystic Ovaries) refers to ovarian cysts, while PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder characterized by PCO, irregular periods, and hyperandrogenism, with symptoms including acne, excess hair growth, weight gain, and infertility; treatments include birth control pills, fertility medications, anti-androgen medications, and lifestyle changes, with PCOS requiring additional treatments like metformin and surgery in some cases.

I'm really concerned because it seems like the skin on my penis is growing and closing over the top. There are also a few cuts, and the skin doesnt move down like it used to, which is making things really uncomfortable. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight and cannot be fully retracted over the head of the penis. This can lead to cuts and difficulty retracting the foreskin. I recommend using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the tight area twice a day for several weeks. If the condition does not improve or if you experience worsening symptoms, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

This is completely depends on individual's growth variability and hormonal function. You should not feel like so, that you are not mature if your other hormonal functions are well and good. Be stress free and take proper diet.

I'm a bit confused and worried after my early pregnancy scan. My last period was on December 6th, so I thought I was around 6 weeks pregnant, but the scan is showing 7 weeks and 5 days. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Given your IgA Nephropathy diagnosis and treatment, here's a general outline: Continue adhering to your renal diet and controlled salt intake (<5gday). Monitor your kidney function (creatinine levels) regularly. Maintain tight blood pressure control with telmisartan and metoprolol. Consider allopurinol or febuxostat to manage elevated uric acid levels. Regular follow-ups with your nephrologist are crucial for adjusting treatment and monitoring disease progression. Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep, can also help slow disease progression.

Daflon (Diosmin) is typically used to treat hemorrhoids and chronic venous insufficiency. If your hemorrhoids recur, you can take Daflon again, but consult your doctor first.

Precautions: - Inform your doctor about any underlying medical conditions, such as kidney or liver disease. - Monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels while taking Daflon. - Avoid taking Daflon with other medications that may interact with it, such as blood thinners. Always follow your doctor's advice and the recommended dosage.

I'm having some trouble with rashes or a fungal infection in my inner thighs, and even though I've been using creams like Candid Total and Clobetta GM, its just not getting better. Its actually spreading to my buttocks too. Could you suggest what I should do to get some relief?

Sharp pains from kidney stones can be excruciating. Since Mefatal Spas isn't providing sufficient relief, consider the following options: Consult your doctor about alternative pain management options, such as: 1. NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (Brufen) or Diclofenac (Voveran) 2. Muscle relaxants like Baclofen 3. Opioid analgesics (if prescribed by your doctor) In addition to medication: 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses a day) 2. Apply heat: Use a warm compress or heating pad on the affected area 3. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body cope with the pain If the pain persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm a bit worried about my situation. I had an ectopic pregnancy that was found at 8 weeks in, and my doctor gave me a methotrexate injection since my hCG level was 39,000. A week later, I was prescribed methotrexate tablets for ten days. After taking the tablets the first day, I started bleeding heavily for five days. Then, after a two-day gap, the bleeding was more like a normal period but without any pain. My hCG levels have been decreasing steadily, and now they're at 601. Does this mean my problem is resolving, or should I be worried about anything else?

It is important to monitor hCG levels to ensure they continue to decrease until they reach non-pregnant levels. To help clear the ectopic pregnancy completely, you can continue taking methotrexate tablets as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, it is essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of hCG levels to confirm resolution of the ectopic pregnancy. If you experience any concerning symptoms such as severe pain, heavy bleeding, or dizziness, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.

I recently had a risky encounter with a commercial sex worker and was pretty worried about HIV exposure. I went to see a doctor right away and started a post-exposure prophylaxis treatment with tenofoviremtricitabine and raltegravir, just under 12 hours after the exposure. I just finished the 28-day course and got tested on the 29th day with a CMIA test that came back negative. Does this mean Im in the clear, or should I be concerned about anything else related to HIV?

It's reassuring that your CMIA test on Day 29 was negative, and you took PEP promptly, which greatly reduces HIV risk. However, follow-up testing at 6 weeks and 3 months post-exposure is crucial to confirm your status fully. Stay positive and consult your doctor for guidance.

I'm really concerned about my wifes situation. She's got these two chocolate cysts on her right ovary, and our gynecologist advised her to take Lupride Depot 3.75 injections monthly for three months to shrink the cysts and prevent damage to ovarian tissue during surgery, which could lead to infertility. Her periods have been a bit strange since we started this treatment. Her last one was on August 19th, but before that, she got it on August 1st. We gave her the injection on August 5th, within those five days of her cycle starting. But now, she got her period again earlier than expected. I thought it makes sense to take the next injection within five days of this new period, but the gynecologist says it should be given on the same date as last month, like September 5th. I'm a bit confused hereshould we stick to the once-monthly schedule, or go with the period dates?

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing early discharge of semen fluid recently, and I've also noticed that my penis size seems to shrink when I provide a sperm sample. Additionally, my results showed that I have reduced active sperm motility at 25 and there are 68 pus cells present under HPF. I'm really concerned about what all this means and what I should do next. Can you help me out with some advice?

It sounds like there may be an underlying infection or inflammation affecting sperm quality. I recommend seeing a urologist for a thorough examination and tests to rule out any infections or other issues. Treatment with antibiotics or other medications may be necessary to improve sperm health and motility.

Is it okay to take Cobadex Forte during pregnancy? My wife is six months pregnant and we just switched her doctor today. Before, she was taking Uprise XT and Aaa calcium pills. Could you guide us on the right time she should take this medicine? We're a bit concerned about making sure everything is safe for her and the baby.

Cobadex Forte is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to use it only under the guidance of a doctor. It's best taken after meals to improve absorption and reduce any potential stomach upset. Since your wife is 6 months pregnant, it's important to follow her new doctor's recommendations for any changes in supplements.

I'm really stressed out. I recently had my first sexual encounter with a commercial sex worker, and during ejaculation, the condom slipped and ended up hanging in her vagina. It's been 15 days since then and the anxiety has been eating at me. I'm really worried about the possibility of HIV transmission because of the slip-up. Do you think I should go for an HIV RNA test now, or is it better to wait for a while?

It's understandable to feel stressed after such an experience, but the risk of HIV transmission from a condom slip is generally low if the condom was used correctly. It's advisable to get an HIV test at 3 months for conclusive results, but if you're very concerned, you can consult with a healthcare provider about the possibility of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

I've had this really painful pimple on my vaginal lip for about a week now, and it has pus. Any advice on what I should do?

I'm really thinking about those testosterone tablets I saw from well-known brands like Cipla. Here's the thing, I'm dealing with obesity and my height's not ideal, plus I've been having some ED issues. It's tempting to think these pills could turn things around for me, you know, make me stronger with great muscles and increase my sex drive. I've never tried any self-medication before, but the idea of these tablets got me really curious. Do you think they could turn me into a 'superman'? What's the actual purpose of these pills? Could they help my health, or might they just make things worse? I really want to understand what these are all about before I do something potentially harmful. Could you shed some light on this for me?

strongly advise against self-medicating with testosterone tablets, as they can have serious health consequences, particularly for someone with obesity and ED; testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) should only be prescribed by a doctor for medically diagnosed hypogonadism, and not for athletic enhancement or bodybuilding; misusing testosterone can lead to adverse effects like prostate issues, blood clots, liver damage, acne, and mood changes; instead, focus on healthy lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, exercise, and stress management, which can help improve overall health, ED, and testosterone levels naturally.

I'm thinking about starting Novelon tablets for my polycystic ovaries to help regulate my periods. I'm a bit concerned though, will taking them cause me to gain weight? I do plan on taking them with my doctor's advice, but Id love to know if this has been an issue for others in the past. Can you confirm?

Novelon tablet, containing desogestrel, is a progestin-only pill used to regulate menstrual cycles, including in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but it may not directly address polycystic ovaries; regarding weight gain, Novelon is considered weight-neutral, meaning it's unlikely to cause significant weight gain, but individual responses may vary;

I'm really hoping to find a doctor who has experience with treating intramural fibroids. I'm looking for someone who can make me feel comfortable and also guide me through my pregnancy treatment. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Finding the right doctor for intramural fibroid treatment can be challenging, especially when you're looking for someone who can provide a comfort zone and support your pregnancy treatment. When searching for a doctor, look for obstetricians or gynecologists with experience in treating fibroids, particularly intramural ones.

Some doctors may recommend watchful waiting, while others might suggest surgical interventions like myomectomy or uterine artery embolization. It's essential to discuss your individual situation and determine the best course of action.

I'm a bit worried because my period is late by 4 days this month, even though they've been regular before. Last month, my period started on September 2nd, but I had dengue then and maybe because of the fever or weakness, my flow was really low. Do you think there's something wrong or should I be concerned? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

It's not uncommon for your menstrual cycle to be slightly delayed after an illness like dengue, as it can affect your hormones and overall health. If the delay is only a few days and there are no other concerning symptoms, it should be okay, but if the delay continues or you experience unusual symptoms, it might be worth consulting your doctor for reassurance.

I'm experiencing some discomfort after masturbating. It's like a tingling sensation starting from my left testicle, moving down to my left thigh and foot. Plus, whenever it's hot, I feel some discomfort and inflammation in the veins on the left side, and honestly, it seems a bit more swollen than the right one. There's also this mild back pain that I notice, but it usually gets better if I rest properly or use an ice pack. I was treated for epididymitis on my left side around two years ago, and at the time, ultrasound results came back normal even though the discomfort lingered. This issue shows up randomly, and I'm getting a bit worried. Do you have any advice or thoughts on what might be going on?

During this act, due to excessive force there might be injury to the genitals which may be the reason for your symptoms...urinary tract infection may be the cause... There are evidences which suggest that excessive masturbation might aggravate hair loss and it might cause premature ejaculation which will cause difficulties in concieving in the future. So I suggest you to do yoga and mainly meditation to have some willpower to control your habit.

I'm struggling with intimacy and it's impacting my relationship. My boyfriend believes I might be involved with colleagues or others, which isn't the case. I'm really unsure what to do next. Should I talk to a mental health professional or someone else about this? I could really use some advice.

Duonase nasal spray contains fluticasone and azelastine. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid, which can be immunosuppressive at high doses or prolonged use. However, the immunosuppressive effects of fluticasone are typically associated with systemic use, not topical nasal sprays. Using Duonase nasal spray for 5 months as directed is unlikely to significantly suppress the immune system or prevent HIV antibody production. It's essential to consult an HIV specialist or a healthcare professional for personalized advice on HIV testing and treatment. Please consult the product label or manufacturer's guidelines for specific information on Duonase nasal spray.

I'm trying to understand if the semen is actually entering during intercourse because my wife says she doesn't feel it inside, and sometimes it comes out. She's also experiencing some pain when I try to insert it. How can we tell if the semen is actually getting in?

To improve the chances of conception, you can try using a sperm-friendly lubricant to help the semen stay inside the vagina. Additionally, you can try different positions such as placing a pillow under your wife's hips after intercourse to help tilt the pelvis and encourage the semen to travel towards the cervix. It's also important to ensure that both you and your wife are in good health, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol which can affect fertility. If you continue to have concerns, it may be helpful to consult with a fertility specialist for further guidance.

Ive been feeling a bit self-conscious about my flaccid penis sizeit seems small to me. But when I get an erection, it almost doubles in size. My testis seem normal, but the fluctuating size of my flaccid penis sometimes makes me worry. Some days it looks normal, and other days it seems very small. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as a retractile penis, where the penis appears smaller than usual when flaccid but increases in size upon erection. This can be a source of concern for many men, but it is important to know that it is not typically a sign of any serious medical issue. However, if this is causing you distress or affecting your confidence, you may consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. In terms of medications, there are no specific drugs to address this issue. However, if you are looking to improve erectile function, you may consider medications such as Viagra (Sildenafil) or Cialis (Tadalafil) under the guidance of a healthcare provider. These medications can help improve blood flow to the penis and enhance erectile function. It is important to use these medications at the prescribed dosage and follow the recommendations of your healthcare provider.

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?

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.

I'm experiencing some pain in my left testicle, and it's kind of radiating from my lower abdomen on the left side down to there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The symptoms you are describing could be due to a condition called epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to help with the pain and inflammation. It is important to also rest, wear supportive underwear, and apply a cold pack to the area. However, it is crucial to see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment, as antibiotics may be needed if the cause is bacterial.

I'm really worried about my HIV status after having unprotected sex. How soon can I get reliable results from an HIV1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test? I've heard it's different from a qualitative test, so I want to make sure I get accurate information.

After unprotected sex, the HIV-1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test can give a quantitative HIV status typically within 9 to 11 days post-exposure. It is important to note that this test measures the amount of HIV virus present in the blood, rather than simply detecting its presence.

I'm really worried because I've been having issues with frequent urination and my testes are really painful. I recently had some urine culture tests done, and they came back negative. Could it still be possible that I have chlamydia, even though the test didn't show anything? I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these symptoms.

Yes, it is possible to have chlamydia even if your urine culture test is negative. Chlamydia is often diagnosed through a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or a DNA probe test rather than a urine culture. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination and testicular pain, it is advisable to get tested specifically for chlamydia using a NAAT or DNA probe test. If diagnosed with chlamydia, the treatment involves a course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin or Doxycycline, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm worried about my husband. He masturbates about once a week, but the next day he feels completely wiped out. He's dealing with depression, body aches, and headaches, and just has no energy to do anything. Is this something to be concerned about, and how can we deal with it? Interestingly, he feels fine after intercourse. What could be causing this, and what can we do to sort it out?

It is not uncommon for some individuals to experience physical and emotional symptoms after masturbation, especially if it is accompanied by feelings of guilt or shame. To help alleviate these symptoms, your husband can try taking a pain reliever such as acetaminophen for body pains and headache. Additionally, he can consider taking a supplement like vitamin B complex to help with energy levels and mood. For a more permanent solution, it may be helpful for your husband to explore the underlying reasons for his feelings of exhaustion and depression. Engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can also contribute to overall well-being. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is important for him to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm a bit worried because my penis isn't getting as hard as it used to during sex. I got married a couple of months ago, and before that, when I masturbated, everything was fine, and it was hard. But now, it's different, and I'm not sure why this is happening. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying a medication like Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg about 30 minutes before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and make it easier to achieve a firm erection. Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I've recently started having sex without using a condom, and I've noticed that my frenulum is bleeding. Is this something that's common, or should I be concerned?

It is not uncommon for the frenulum to tear or bleed during vigorous sexual activity, especially without the use of lubrication. To help with the healing process and prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day and keep the area clean. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual activity until the area has fully healed to prevent further injury.

I'm having some discomfort during intercourse because my frenulum feels really tight and it hurts when my foreskin stretches. Is there any way to loosen the frenulum? Would love some advice on this.

You may be experiencing frenulum breve, which is a condition where the frenulum (the band of tissue connecting the foreskin to the underside of the penis) is tight and causes pain during erection. One option to help loosen the frenulum is by using a topical steroid cream, such as Betamethasone cream. You can apply a small amount of Betamethasone cream to the tight frenulum twice a day for several weeks to help loosen it. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment.

I'm feeling a burning sensation at the tip of my penis, especially when I pee. I've been having unprotected sex, and I'm getting really worried. Could it be an infection or something else serious? What should I do next?

Burning sensation in the penis tip area, mostly while urinating, can be a sign of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since you are sexually active and engaging in unprotected intercourse, it is important to get tested for STIs. I recommend you take an antibiotic like Azithromycin 1g as a single dose and Ceftriaxone 250mg intramuscularly. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any infection. It is also important to practice safe sex to prevent future infections.

I'm a bit confused about the timing of precum and sperm during ejaculation. Does precum always come out before sperm, or can sperm be released before precum too? Also, is it possible for precum to be released after sperm? I'm trying to understand how it works.

Precum, also known as pre-ejaculate, is a clear, colorless fluid that is released from the male urethra during sexual arousal. It is produced by the Cowper's glands and serves to lubricate the urethra and neutralize any acidity from previous urine. Precum can be released before ejaculation, during sexual activity, or even without sexual stimulation. Sperm, on the other hand, is the reproductive fluid that contains sperm cells and is released during ejaculation. Sperm is produced in the testes and stored in the epididymis until ejaculation occurs. In the normal sequence of events during sexual activity, precum is usually the first fluid to be released, followed by the release of sperm during ejaculation. However, it is possible for sperm to be released first, especially if there is residual sperm in the urethra from a previous ejaculation, and precum to be released afterwards. It is important to note that precum itself can contain sperm, although the concentration is generally lower compared to ejaculated sperm. Therefore, it is still possible to conceive from precum if it contains sperm. If you have concerns about fertility or sexual health, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I'm wondering if guys experience bleeding when they have sex for the first time. And if they do, how long does it usually take to heal? Id appreciate your insight on this.

It is possible for some boys to experience minor bleeding during their first sexual intercourse, especially if there is not enough lubrication or if there is some tearing of the skin. This usually heals on its own within a few days to a week. To help with the healing process and reduce discomfort, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keep the area clean. If the bleeding persists or if there is excessive pain, it is important to seek medical advice

I've been feeling a lot of tickling on the top and a little deeper inside my hips lately, and my urine has been yellow for a few days now. What's going on with my body?

Too much tickling on the upper side and top of the penis, along with discomfort deep inside the hips and yellow urine could be indicative of a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection. Additionally, it would be beneficial to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.

I'm noticing that a small, round thing comes out of my anus. There's no pain or bleeding, but I'm worried about what this might be. It seems to happen when I have to push during a bowel movement. Can you help me understand what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can protrude outside the anus. To help with this issue, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream or Tucks pads. Make sure to also increase your fiber intake, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

For increasing stamina and achieving longer erections, you can consider taking Sildenafil tablets. To address the issue of watery semen, you can try Zinc supplements. Please consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I'm having trouble when trying to get intimate with my wife because my penis seems to go loose quickly, and I'm not sure what's happening. I've been off some medications for pseudo-seizures like Zapiz, Topicon, and Pregabid for about six months now. Any thoughts on what the issue might be and if there are any medications I should consider?

It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying a medication called Viagra (Sildenafil) at a dose of 50mg taken 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and assist with achieving and maintaining an erection. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you based on your medical history.

I've been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee and I've also noticed semen leakage during urination. I already had my urine tested, but the results came back normal. I'm wondering what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do next. Could it be something serious?

Burning sensation in urine and semen leakage while urinating can be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since your urine test did not show any abnormalities, I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat a possible infection. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any infection. If symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.

Can semen really get through clothes? I've heard that sperm can move with seminal fluid and get through two layers of clothing. Should I be worried about this?

Yes, it is possible for sperm to pass through two layers of clothing along with seminal fluid. However, the chances of sperm successfully reaching the vagina and resulting in pregnancy in this scenario are very low. To reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, it is important to use proper protection such as condoms.

I'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as urethral meatal stenosis, where the opening of the urethra becomes enlarged. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a topical steroid cream may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the opening. Additionally, if the enlargement is causing any discomfort or issues with urination, a surgical procedure called meatoplasty may be recommended to repair the opening of the urethra.

There's no bleeding, just a bit of pain. I'm wondering what steps I should take and which type of doctor would be best to consult about this issue.

The torn frenulum can lead to decreased pleasure and sensitivity during orgasm. You can use a topical anesthetic cream containing Lidocaine to help with the pain. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen. It is advisable to consult a Urologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got these blisters on one of the lips of my vagina, and it's super painful. I've been experiencing some burning and itchiness too. I always have protected sex, but about a few weeks ago, I did receive oral sex. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Blisters on one lip of your vagina along with pain and itching could be indicative of genital herpes. Since you mentioned receiving oral sex a few weeks ago, it is possible that you have contracted herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genitally. I recommend taking antiviral medication such as Acyclovir (400mg three times a day) or Valacyclovir (1 gram twice a day) to help manage the symptoms and reduce the duration of the outbreak. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding sexual contact until the blisters have healed can help in the healing process.

I've noticed this tiny hard growth on my foreskin, about the size of a grain of sand. It's not itchy or burning or anything, but I'm a bit worried about what it could be. Any ideas on what this might be or if I should get it checked out?

This could potentially be a condition called Fordyce spots, which are small, raised, pale red, yellow-white, or skin-colored bumps that can appear on the shaft of the penis or the foreskin. They are usually harmless and do not require treatment. However, it is important to have it properly diagnosed by a healthcare provider to rule out any other possible conditions.

I'm really concerned because I found out my sperm mortality rate is zero, even though my sperm count seems to be okay. On top of that, my testosterone levels are pretty low. Could you suggest any medicines, supplements, or natural ways to boost the sperm mortality?

To increase sperm motility naturally and with supplements, you can consider taking supplements like Coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, and vitamin E. These supplements have been shown to improve sperm motility. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in antioxidants such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can also help improve sperm motility. In terms of medications, you can consider using brands like Clomid or hCG injections, which can help boost testosterone levels and improve sperm motility. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or medication regimen.

I'm really worried because I had protected sex a week ago, but after four days, I started feeling unwell with fever and loose motions. Now I'm also experiencing night sweats. I ended up in the hospital, and all my tests came back fine, but I read somewhere that these can be initial symptoms of HIV. This really has me scared. Could you help me understand if I should be concerned about HIV or if there's something else going on?

It's important not to jump to conclusions without proper testing and evaluation. The symptoms you mentioned can be caused by various conditions and may not necessarily indicate HIV infection. If you are worried about HIV, the best course of action would be to get tested for HIV at a healthcare facility. In the meantime, if you are experiencing fever and loose motions, you can take over-the-counter medications like Paracetamol for fever (500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed) and Loperamide for loose motions (2mg after the first loose stool, then 1mg after each subsequent loose stool, but do not exceed 16mg in a day) to help manage your symptoms. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've recently had a VDRL test and it came back reactive. I also went through a VDRL in Dilation test and that was reactive too. From what I've read, this might mean syphilis. What should I do next in terms of treatment? I've attached my report for you to see. Can you help guide me on what steps I should take?

Based on your VDRL test results showing reactivity at 1:8, indicating a possible syphilis infection, the course of treatment typically involves a course of antibiotics. In this case, you will likely be prescribed Benzathine Penicillin G, administered as a single intramuscular injection at a specific dosage depending on the stage of the infection. It's important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of the medication. Regular follow-up tests may also be recommended to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment."

I've been having some trouble with my foreskin since I can't pull it back when my penis is erect, and it really hurts when I try. I'm wondering, could this be phimosis or maybe paraphimosis? Also, I'm curious if there's a way to treat this without surgery, or is surgery the way to go? If I do need surgery, is it safe to have it done at my age, and should I be worried about any side effects?

You may be experiencing phimosis, which is the inability to fully retract the foreskin over the head of the penis. This can cause pain and discomfort, especially during erections. Phimosis is different from paraphimosis, which is a medical emergency where the retracted foreskin cannot be returned to its original position. For phimosis treatment, you can try using topical steroid creams such as Betamethasone or Hydrocortisone. These creams can help to soften the foreskin and make it easier to retract. You can apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to the tight area twice a day for a few weeks. If conservative treatments do not work, then circumcision surgery may be recommended.

It's important to seek help and talk to someone about what you're going through. In terms of the fever, if it has been persistent and you're feeling unwell, you may need to consider taking some medication to help reduce the fever. You can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for fever. However, it's crucial to address the underlying issues causing you distress.

I'm really worried about this personal issue I'm experiencing with my girlfriend. After I finger her, there's a bad smell coming from her vagina and on my hand.

It wasn't like this before, so I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to affect our relationship. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what we can do about it?

It could be due to bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is a common condition where there is an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the vagina, leading to a fishy odor. I recommend your girlfriend to use Metronidazole gel 0.75% applied intravaginally once daily for 5 days. This will help to restore the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina and alleviate the bad smell. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands before and after sexual activity, can also help prevent the recurrence of this issue.

Without a physical examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. However, if these bumps are due to a non-infectious cause such as Fordyce spots or pearly penile papules, no treatment may be necessary. If they are due to a skin condition or infection, topical antibiotics like Bacitracin or Neosporin may be recommended. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

It sounds like you may be experiencing pain due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. This can be caused by a short frenulum. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone (0.05%) to help loosen the foreskin. Apply a small amount to the tight area twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. If this does not improve your symptoms, you may need to consider a circumcision or a frenuloplasty procedure. Please consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

Taking Viagra should have no effect on sperm qualitymorphology. You can use it during your partner's ovulation period safely. If your erectile dysfunction persists or worsens, it may be advisable to consult a specialist.

How often is it okay for a couple to have sex in one day so that it's pleasurable but doesn't negatively impact their bodies? I'm curious about finding a balance and ensuring we're not overdoing it.

I have several lesions in both my breasts, and they seem to be getting worse each year. Is there any medication that can help with this? I've already had surgery to remove a lesion that was about 3 to 4 cm big. I also did an FNAC needle test, and it showed I have fibroadenoma. Can you give me some advice on what to do next?

I've been prone masturbating for the past five years and just realized what it could lead to. I've tried using my hands, but it really didn't work for me. When I tried prone again, it worked. Does it usually take time to get used to using hands? I really don't want to go prone again. Is it normal for someone who's been doing this for five or six years to have trouble adjusting to using their hands?

I've noticed a lump on the skin of my penis shaft that just appeared out of nowhere. It's not painful or itchy, which is a relief, but I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I haven't done anything that might have caused it, except maybe I masturbated about 23 days ago. Any idea what this could be? Should I be concerned?

I've just turned 22 and I'm still a virgin. While making out with my girlfriend, things are usually good until she touches my penis, then I ejaculate right away. I'm comfortable with oral sex and other stuff, but when she touches me, it just happens. I'm worried and kind of embarrassed. We've not had intercourse yet, but I really want to manage this better. Any tips or advice on what to do?
