I've got a cyst in my prostate that's filled with clear fluid, and it's about 7cc in volume. I'm wondering if there's a way for it to go away with medication or if the only option is to have it removed. I'm also having trouble emptying my bladder completely in one go, but thankfully there's no pain. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?

A clear fluid cyst in the prostate may not always require treatment if it is not causing any symptoms. However, if you are experiencing difficulty emptying your bladder, it is important to address this issue. Medications such as alpha-blockers like Tamsulosin can help relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Additionally, antibiotics may be prescribed if there is an infection present. If the cyst is causing significant symptoms and does not improve with medication, surgical removal of the cyst may be considered. It is best to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been noticing some white scaling on the forehead of my penis that keeps coming back, even though I wash it regularly with soap. It's also looking redder than usual, but there's not much itching. I'm having a hard time finding doctors who recognize these symptoms. Could you help me understand what's going on?

A Candida infection, also known as genital thrush, is a common yeast infection that can affect both males and females. In men, thrush affects the head of the penis and the foreskin.A healthcare provider may use a scalpel or tongue depressor to gently scrape some of the skin from the infected area. The sample is then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to identify the fungus.

I've been noticing a white layer forming under the skin of my penis for the past week. The skin feels tighter than usual, and it's becoming difficult to pull it back. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and how do I treat it?

You may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering what foods or drinks might help with precum leakage during sex because it seems like whenever that happens, my erection weakens. Could you give me some advice on this?

To control precum leakage and maintain a strong erection during sex, you can try incorporating certain foods and drinks into your diet. Foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, beef, and pumpkin seeds, can help regulate testosterone levels and improve sexual function. Additionally, foods high in antioxidants, like berries, spinach, and nuts, can promote overall sexual health. Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated is also important for optimal sexual performance. To specifically address precum leakage, you can try herbal supplements like ashwagandha or ginseng, which are known to improve sexual stamina and control ejaculation. It's important to maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and consider incorporating these foods and supplements to help manage precum leakage and enhance your sexual experience.

I'm worried about HIV and was wondering what the symptoms are if you test positive. Also, is there any possibility of a cure? I'd really like to know how I can protect myself from this disease.

HIV positive symptoms are mostly non specific. About two-thirds of people experience a flu-like illness within 2 to 4 weeks of infection. Symptoms include: Fever Chills Rash Night sweats Muscle aches Sore throat Fatigue Swollen lymph nodes Mouth ulcers. Treatment is there if one get diagnosed with HIV positive. There are several ways to reduce the risk of HIV infection, including: Condoms: Use a condom correctly every time you have sex, especially with partners who are HIV positive or whose HIV status is unknown. Limit sexual partners: Reduce the number of sexual partners you have. Get tested: Get tested for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). PrEP: Take pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an HIV prevention medicine, daily or as a long-acting injection. PrEP is only available by prescription from a licensed health care provider. PEP: Take post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours of a possible exposure to HIV. Avoid sharing needles: Never share needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment. If you can't access new equipment, you can sterilize what you have. Harm reduction services: Use harm reduction services for people who inject and use drugs. Male circumcision: Get a voluntary medical male circumcision.

I'm really struggling with some issues regarding my penis. It seems to have gotten quite small, and I feel awkward when I'm peeing because I make an effort to hide it from others. When it does get hard, it's not as firm as I'd like, and I often experience early leakage. Can you guide me on what might be happening and suggest possible solutions?

The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis ...Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size. Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way..

I'm really concerned about this swelling in my meatus. It's a dark blue color with some red dots. I've been seeing a surgeon for a while, and initially, they prescribed ciprofloxacin and some fungal medicine, but nothing has changed. I even tried more antibiotics, but it's been two weeks and still no improvement. My urine routine, culture, and ultrasound results all came back normal. What could be going on?

Reliable HIV testing after 6 years. The 4th generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) antigen and antibody test is highly accurate. Interpretation: 1. _Non-reactive result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies or p24 antigens. 2. _6-year window period_: Well beyond the recommended 3-6 month window for HIV testing after exposure. Nasal steroids: 1. _Unlikely to cause false negatives_: Steroids are not known to interfere with HIV tests. You can be reasonably confident in your HIV-negative status. However, consider: 1. _Other STIs_: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if you haven't already. 2. _Future risks_: Continue practicing safe sex and get regular HIV tests if you're sexually active. Consult your doctor or an HIV specialist for personalized guidance and confirmation.

I'm having some white discharge from my penis every morning and I'm really worried. There's no pain, but I'm not sure what's going on. Can you suggest any medication to help with this?

The elevated ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) levels indicate inflammation in the body. Joint pains, leg pains, and finger pains suggest an inflammatory condition, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or Osteoarthritis (OA). Normal sugar test results rule out diabetes as a cause for the symptoms. Consult a Rheumatologist for further evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend additional tests, such as CRP, RF, and ANA, to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the diagnosis, but may include anti-inflammatory medications, pain management, and lifestyle modifications.

While trimming hair on your testicle, you got a cut on your right testis and bleeding started immediately. You applied turmeric powder and the bleeding stopped, and there is no pain. Using turmeric powder for minor cuts can help with its antiseptic properties. However, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection.

In this case, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Apply a small amount of Neosporin on the cut twice a day for a few days.

-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc

I'm really concerned about an issue I've been dealing with. I was addicted to prone masturbation for about 10 years, and even though I stopped two years ago, I feel like my penis is damaged. The base is very smooth, there's a bend to the left, and I can't maintain an erection for more than a few seconds. It's been really affecting me mentally. What can I do to address this problem?

-It's understandable that you're feeling distressed by this issue. The changes in your penis, like smoothness, bending, and short-lasting erections, could be related to long-term habits. I recommend consulting a urologist who can assess your condition and

Dengue is not contagious in the classical sense, as it cannot be spread directly from person to person. However, it can be transmitted through: 1. Mosquito bites: The primary vector for dengue is the Aedes mosquito, which feeds on the blood of infected individuals and then transmits the virus to others. 2. Blood transfusions: In rare cases, dengue can be transmitted through blood transfusions from an infected donor. 3. Organ transplantation: Dengue can also be transmitted through organ transplantation from an infected donor. To prevent dengue, take the following precautions: 1. *Eliminate mosquito breeding sites*: Remove standing water from containers, flowerpots, and other areas around your home. 2. *Use mosquito repellents*: Apply insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin and clothing. 3. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks when outdoors, especially during peak mosquito hours. 4. *Use mosquito nets*: If you're sleeping outdoors or in an area without screens, use a mosquito net to cover your bed. 5. *Install window and door screens*: Make sure screens are in good condition and free of holes. 6. *Use air conditioning*: Mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures, so using air conditioning can help reduce the risk of bites. 7. *Get vaccinated*: If you live in or plan to travel to areas with high dengue transmission, consider getting vaccinated. The Dengvaxia vaccine is available in some countries for individuals aged 9-45. Symptoms of dengue typically appear within 3-14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include: 1. *Fever*: High temperature, usually above 104F (40C). 2. *Severe headache*: Pain is often described as piercing or burning. 3. *Pain behind the eyes*: Eye pain is common, especially when moving the eyes. 4. *Joint and muscle pain*: Pain and stiffness in the joints, muscles, and bones. 5. *Rash*: A red, patchy rash may appear on the skin, usually 2-5 days after the onset of fever. 6. *Nausea and vomiting*: Some people may experience stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. 7. *Fatigue*: Feeling extremely tired and weak. In severe cases, dengue can lead to: 1. *Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)*: A rare but life-threatening complication characterized by severe bleeding, low platelet count, and blood plasma leakage. 2. *Dengue shock syndrome (DSS)*: A severe complication of DHF, characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to shock and potentially life-threatening complications.

I've been dealing with paraphimosis for over a year now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm not sure what steps to take. Could you guide me on what to do next? I'm really worried and would appreciate some quick advice.

Paraphimosis is a medical emergency that requires prompt attention; please immediately visit the nearest hospital or urology clinic, as delaying treatment can lead to serious complications, such as permanent damage to the penis, gangrene, or even amputation; a urologist may perform a manual reduction, circumcision, or preputioplasty to treat the condition.

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and I'm really concerned because it started happening just recently. It doesn't last long enough, and before this, everything was going well. Any advice or treatments you could recommend?

I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. Erectile dysfunction can be influenced by various factors, including stress, lifestyle changes, or underlying health issues. I recommend discussing this with a healthcare provider who can assess your situation and offer appropriate guidance or treatment options.

I've been noticing that some of the nerves on my penis have been swollen over the past couple of weeks. They feel kind of hard, almost like there's a blockage. Normally, it doesn't hurt, but I do feel pain when I press on them or during any sexual activity. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?

I'm dealing with a kidney stone that's about 98 MM for the past two months, and I'm not experiencing severe pain. Is it really possible for the stone to pass without treatment? Everyone says it might come back even after treatment. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this, like someone suggested steering clear of tomatoes? I've been drinking more water and tender coconut water daily for the last two months, and thankfully, I'm only feeling a bit of pain now. I also try to walk and do some small exercises in the morning. The doctor mentioned the stone is nearly 1 cm, so I'm wondering if it can pass without treatment. Could you give me some advice on all these concerns?

Kidney stones of 9-10mm usually don't pass on their own without treatment, especially if there is no severe pain. While drinking plenty of water and staying active are great for kidney health, it's important to follow your doctor's advice for treatment. To avoid recurrence, limit foods high in oxalates (like spinach, beets, and chocolate), salt, and animal protein. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring your condition.

I'm 23 years old and I've noticed that my foreskin is attached to the tip of my penis, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. I'm really anxious about getting a circumcision, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to detach the foreskin. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Phimosis refers to the inability to retract the distal foreskin over the glans penis. Pathologic phimosis defines an inability to retract the foreskin after it was previously retractible or after puberty, usually secondary to distal scarring of the foreskin. Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus. Paraphimosis is a disease of uncircumcised or partially circumcised males....Up to 95% of cases of phimosis have been shown to respond to application of topical steroids to the preputial orifice, although some studies have suggested that this response rate may decline several months after the regimen is completed. An initial attempt at medical intervention has been shown to reduce costs by 27.3% in comparison with primary circumcision as a treatment...consult nearest urologist they will help you further

I'm dealing with a burning sensation after ejaculation, and it's pretty concerning. I had a urine test and sonography done last week, and the urologist said everything looked normal and not to worry. I followed his advice and treatment, but I'm still having the same issue. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

It's not at all unusual to have a burning sensation with urination immediately or shortly after ejaculation - especially if you ejaculated more than once. It usually just means that the urethra is irritated by the force of those ejaculations. It also leads to the desire to urinate.

Could you suggest the best medication or treatment for this issue? I'm kind of at a loss here and really need some guidance.

It seems like the fungal infection might require a more targeted treatment. I recommend consulting a doctor for an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole or Miconazole, and potentially an oral antifungal if the infection is persistent. In the meantime, keep the area dry and avoid any irritation.

I've been having this really bad pain in the glans of my penis, right when I start and finish urinating. It's like normal when I'm just going about my day, no pain or anything, but as soon as I pee, it's unbearableit makes me stop mid-flow. The pain kind of eases up during the flow but as it slows down to just drops at the end, that's when it hits me hard. It's honestly the worst pain I've felt. I had a UTI not too long ago and took some meds like Norflex, Cyclopam, and Citralka syrup, and it seemed like I was okay for a bit. Could this be related, or is it something different? I've been drinking a ton of water, but its not helping. Also, I'm not quite sure if it's truly in the glans or maybe through the urethra, but it sure feels like it's around there. Any idea what might be going on?

Since the pain has persisted and is quite severe, it would be a good idea to consult a urologist for a thorough evaluation.

What happens when you masturbate?* Masturbation is a natural process where you stimulate your genitals to achieve orgasm. During masturbation: 1. *Hormonal release*: Oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins are released, causing feelings of pleasure and relaxation. 2. *Blood flow increase*: Blood flow to the genitals increases, leading to erection and arousal. 3. *Muscle contractions*: Muscles in the pelvic area contract, leading to orgasm. *Advantages of masturbation:* 1. *Stress relief*: Masturbation can help reduce stress and anxiety. 2. *Sleep improvement*: Orgasms can help improve sleep quality. 3. *Pain relief*: Masturbation can help alleviate menstrual cramps, headaches, and other types of pain. 4. *Improved mental health*: Masturbation can boost self-esteem, confidence, and mood. *Disadvantages of excessive masturbation:* 1. *Addiction*: Excessive masturbation can lead to addiction, negatively impacting daily life. 2. *Relationship issues*: Excessive masturbation can lead to relationship problems, such as decreased intimacy with partners. 3. *Physical health issues*: Excessive masturbation can lead to: - Fatigue - Weakness - Back pain - Prostate issues (in men) 4. *Mental health concerns*: Excessive masturbation can contribute to: - Depression - Anxiety - Low self-esteem *Does masturbation affect immunity or brain activity?* Moderate masturbation does not significantly impact immunity or brain activity. However, excessive masturbation can lead to: 1. *Immune system suppression*: Excessive masturbation can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses. 2. *Neurotransmitter imbalance*: Excessive masturbation can disrupt neurotransmitter balances, potentially leading to mood swings, depression, or anxiety. *Advantages of abstaining from masturbation:* 1. *Increased productivity*: Abstaining from masturbation can help you focus on other aspects of your life. 2. *Improved relationships*: Abstaining from masturbation can help you build stronger, more intimate relationships with partners. 3. *Increased self-control*: Abstaining from masturbation can help you develop greater self-control and willpower. 4. *Spiritual or emotional growth*: Some people believe that abstaining from masturbation can lead to spiritual or emotional growth, increased self-awareness, and a deeper connection with oneself and others.

I've been having some concerns about my testicles being really loose, both generally and during sex. Is this something I should be worried about?

Would it be a urologist or someone else?

I'm experiencing nightfall about 5 or 6 times a month, and when it happens, a white sticky liquid comes out, which I think might be sperm. But when I try to masturbate like most guys do, nothing comes out except urine. I also had sex with my girlfriend using a condom, but didn't feel like any sperm came out then either. Is something wrong with me, or should I be worried about not being able to ejaculate properly?

I'm 22 and started masturbating when I was 17, but I quit at 20. I didn't do it excessively - maybe 56 times a month. Then I skipped it for six months and occasionally for up to 23 months without experiencing nightfall. But now, since I stopped at 20, I've been having nightfall about 34 times a month. Some people say it's normal, but I don't think it is because it seems like my muscles aren't growing. Whenever nightfall stops for 15-20 days, I notice I look better. Then it hits again, and I start looking dull. It's really frustrating, and I'm worried about the future. Can this be cured? What should I do?

I understand your concern. The risk of HIV transmission through a small cut on your ear from an infected barber is relatively low. _Risk Assessment_ 1. _HIV transmission_: HIV transmission requires direct contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. The risk of transmission through a small cut on your ear is low. 2. _Hepatitis BC transmission_: Hepatitis BC transmission is more likely than HIV through blood contact. However, the risk is still relatively low. _Precautions and Next Steps_ 1. _Seek medical attention_: Consult a doctor immediately and report the incident. They will assess the risk and provide guidance. 2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: Your doctor may recommend PEP, a medication that can prevent HIV infection if taken within 72 hours of exposure. 3. _Hepatitis BC screening_: Your doctor may recommend screening for hepatitis BC. 4. _Report the incident_: Inform the salon management and local health authorities about the incident. Please prioritize your health and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

It is possible that you are experiencing irritation or inflammation due to the rough oral sex. To help alleviate the burning sensation, you can try using an over-the-counter topical cream like lidocaine gel to numb the area. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Are there specific foods or activities I need to steer clear of? Could this condition affect my sexual or married life? What precautions should I be taking?

I've been dealing with pain in both my testicles and thighs for about a year now, and I'm not sure if I should see an orthopedic specialist or a urologist. Could pain in the testicles and groin area be causing the discomfort in my thighs, or is that something different? I'd really appreciate some advice from either a urologist or an orthopedic specialist on who to consult first. I've asked before but didn't get a clear answer, so I'm hoping for some clarity this time.

Visit a Urologist first to evaluate the testicular pain. The urologist may perform physical exams, ultrasounds, or other tests to identify any underlying conditions in the reproductive system. If the urologist rules out any urological causes and suspects the issue may be muscular or nerve-related, you can then visit an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation of the thigh pain.

I've found a painless ulcer where my penis head meets the foreskin, and it's really got me worried. I haven't had any sexual encounters in the last four months, just been on my own, you know, self-masturbation. What could be causing this?

Since you're experiencing an ulcer-like lesion, its important to get a proper diagnosis from a healthcare professional. They may take a swab or perform an examination to identify any infections or other underlying conditions. If it doesnt improve or if you experience pain, discharge, or other concerning symptoms, its best to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I've been wondering about something that's been stressing me out a bit. So, I started masturbating when I was young but stopped when I was 15, and I was still a virgin then. I picked it up again at 18 after a three-year break. Initially, I tried to delay ejaculation, but after a few weeks, I started having issues. I'm going to the bathroom way more often, and I feel some pain in my penis and testicles. Even right after urinating, I still get this urgent feeling like I need to go again. Add to this, I lost my virginity and noticed that even after doing it quite a few times, I can't hold my ejaculation for more than a minute. I still masturbate regularly 'cause I can't really control the urge, and I'm really concerned. I can't help but wonder if these issues could be connected to my masturbation habits or not. Is this something that might mess with my sex life in the future, like after getting married? Any advice or solutions would be really appreciated.

Your issues with frequent urination and rapid ejaculation may be interrelated and potentially linked to your masturbation habits, particularly the practice of holding back ejaculation, which can lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prostate issues, and ejaculatory control problems; to address these issues, consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist who can help you develop healthier masturbation habits, improve pelvic floor muscle function, and provide guidance on managing ejaculation and urinary frequency, which will be beneficial for your future sex life, including after marriage.

I've noticed that sometimes when I'm running or working out, I get a bit of pre-cum leaking. I'm a 23-year-old guy and it's not happening every time, but still enough to make me concerned. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried about this?

The pre-cum leakage during running or workout is likely due to increased blood flow and physical stimulation, which can cause involuntary seminal emissions; consider wearing snug-fitting underwear or athletic supporters to reduce friction and pressure, and if the issue persists, consult a urologist or healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions like overactive bladder or prostate issues.

I've just turned 17 and I've never really tried masturbating before, but I've had a few instances of night fall, and I'm kind of wondering if that's normal. Is there something wrong with me because of this?

Nightfall, also known as nocturnal emission, is a normal and common occurrence in adolescent males, especially during puberty, and it's not necessarily related to masturbation; as long as you're not experiencing other symptoms like pain, difficulty urinating, or excessive frequency, there's likely no cause for concern, but if you're worried, consider speaking with a healthcare provider or a trusted adult for guidance.

Could this be a sign of something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and what should I do to get some relief?

The symptoms you're describing, including tickling, itching inside the cervix, and a sensation of incomplete urination, could be indicative of a cervical or urinary tract issue, such as cervical inflammation, vaginitis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI); consider consulting a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the best course of treatment.

I've been having this pain in my penis for a couple of months now, especially when it gets erect. Its really concerning me. Does this sound like something serious? What could be causing pain inside my penis?

An erection normally occurs in response to physical or psychological stimulation. This stimulation causes certain blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow to spongy tissues in the penis. Consequently, the blood-filled penis becomes erect. After stimulation ends, the blood flows out, and the penis returns to its nonrigid (flaccid) state. Priapism occurs when some part of this system the blood, blood vessels or nerves changes normal blood flow, resulting in painful erections. Consult urologist for further evaluation...

My penis has been bleeding when I pee, and I'm really worried. About ten days ago, I had really intense sex twice, and there was bleeding on that day, February 10th. The bleeding stopped that day, but after that, I just felt a lot of pain in my penis. Then yesterday, out of nowhere, there was bleeding again, especially at the end when I was trying to urinate, and it was super painful. I couldnt handle it at all. I'm really stressed out about what's going on. Could you suggest what I should do?

The bleeding and pain during urination, especially after intense sexual activity, may indicate a urethral injury, urethritis, or a sexually transmitted infection (STI); immediately seek medical attention from a urologist or a healthcare provider to rule out any serious conditions; in the meantime, drink plenty of water, avoid sex, and apply a warm compress to the affected area to alleviate discomfort; delaying medical attention can lead to further complications, so prioritize your health and seek help as soon as possible.

I'm 17 and have been wondering about how often it's normal or healthy to masturbate. Im a bit worried if there's any harm or risk to my health from doing it too much. Can you give me some guidance?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, and there's no specific frequency that's considered "right" or "wrong"; as long as it doesn't interfere with daily life, relationships, or mental health, masturbation is generally not injurious to health, but excessive frequency (e.g., multiple times a day) may lead to temporary physical or emotional issues, so moderation is key.

I'm feeling some discomfort in the area around my left testicle, but not directly in the testicle itself. It's not exactly painful, more like an uneasy feeling. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?

The uneasy feeling in the left testicle area, but not directly in the testicles, could be related to epididymitis, a groin strain, or a hernia; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional, such as a primary care physician or a urologist, for a proper evaluation, as they can perform a physical examination and potentially order imaging tests to determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried because I'm diabetic with an FBS of 200 and I've noticed that I'm getting sensitive areas under the foreskin, which is prominent after intercourse. I'm uncircumcised and have been using Surbraz TZ cream for about two years to help subside the cuts, but it keeps recurring. My routine urine tests always come back normal, but sometimes my wife ends up with a UTI after we've been intimate. We've tried using Zocon T, and it helps temporarily, but the symptoms keep returning. I've seen a lot of skin and VD specialists, but no one has been able to provide a solution. I understand this might be related to my diabetes, but there's got to be some kind of cure or long-term solution, right? What should I do next?

Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.

I'm experiencing this dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and the color Doppler test showed I have a grade IV extra testicular varicocele on that side. My doctor mentioned surgery as the only solution, but I'm wondering if there might be any other treatments available. Could you offer some advice or alternatives?

While surgery is often recommended for high-grade varicoceles like Grade IV, alternative treatments may include embolization, a minimally invasive procedure to block blood flow to the varicocele, or sclerotherapy, injecting a solution to shrink the varicocele; however, consult your doctor or a urologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. It doesn't roll back as much as it's supposed to, and when I try to pull it down more, it starts to hurt. I'm really hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve surgery. Do you have any advice on what I might be able to do to fix this? It's really starting to affect my life, and I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer.

You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; to resolve this without surgery, your doctor may recommend gentle manual stretching exercises, topical steroid creams like betamethasone to reduce inflammation, or preputioplasty devices that help gradually stretch the foreskin; it's essential to consult a urologist

I've been experiencing some tender pain at the top of my left testicle, and sometimes it even seems like the shape of it isn't quite round. Walking or touching that area makes the pain worse. I'm not sure if I should see a gynecologist or if a general physician would be the right person to talk to. What do you think I should do?

You should consult a urologist, not a gynecologist, as they specialize in male reproductive health; a general physician can provide an initial evaluation, but a urologist is better equipped to diagnose and treat potential issues like epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, or varicocele; schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and undergo a physical examination to determine the cause of the pain and abnormal testicular shape.

I'm experiencing something unusual when I go to the bathroommy urine's getting split into two streams. It's flowing clear and everything, but it's kind of odd. A couple of days ago, I had this pain and sensation while peeing, and the doctor said it was an infection, so I took some medicine and that part seems better now. What I'm wondering is, should I be worried about this split thing, and what should I do about it?

The split urine stream, also known as urinary bifurcation, can be caused by various factors, including urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or prostate enlargement; given your recent urinary tract infection (UTI) and resolved symptoms, the split stream might be a temporary aftermath, but it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.

I'm single and not in any relationships, but I have this overwhelming sex drive that's starting to mess with my daily life. Sometimes it even wakes me up at night, leaving me feeling anxious and nervous with sexual thoughts. I end up masturbating almost every day, and some days it's up to three times! I've noticed that doing it so often is giving me some lower back pain and making me feel really tired. Is this kind of desire normal? I read online that it might be due to high testosterone levels, and there's a test for that. But I'm curious, could there be other reasons for this? And what should I do about it? Can it lead to issues in the future?

Excessive sex desire, frequent masturbation, and associated symptoms like lower back pain and tiredness may be related to various factors, including high testosterone levels, hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, or underlying psychological conditions; other possible causes include sleep deprivation, certain medications, or nutritional deficiencies; consult a healthcare professional, such as an endocrinologist or a sexologist, for personalized guidance, and consider discussing the following: hormonal testing (e.g., testosterone, prolactin), stress management techniques, sleep hygiene, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address underlying psychological factors.

As a newly married couple experiencing sexual difficulties, consider consulting an Andrologist (male specialist) or a Sexologist, who can address issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or performance anxiety; for females, a Gynecologist or a Sex Therapist can help with concerns like vaginal pain, low libido, or orgasmic difficulties.

Your symptoms suggest a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or overactive bladder; consult a gynecologist or urologist immediately for a proper diagnosis and treatment, and in the meantime, drink plenty of water to help flush out bacteria, avoid spicy or acidic foods, and consider keeping a bladder diary to track your symptoms and identify potential trigger

Yes, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the cause of the itching inside your penis, which could be due to a fungal or bacterial infection, allergy, or skin condition; be honest with your doctor, sharing details about the itching, such as when it started, frequency, and any other symptoms like discharge, redness, or pain; your doctor may perform a physical examination, take a sample for testing, and prescribe treatment, which could include antifungal or antibacterial medications, creams, or ointments.

Could you give me some idea of what might be causing this and what remedies I might try? Also, if you think I should see a specialist, what kind of doctor would be best to consult?

Shortness of breath during urination can occasionally happen due to a vagal nerve response, anxiety, or even bladder issues. If it's infrequent and no other symptoms exist, it's usually harmless. However, consult a urologist or general physician to rule out underlying causes like prostate or cardiovascular concerns.

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role.

I don't want to remove all the skin, just the top part that's attached to the penis. What would be the cost of that? What should I do, and if there's surgery required, how much would it cost?

It sounds like you may have a condition called **phimosis** or tight foreskin. A minor procedure like a **frenuloplasty** or partial circumcision can address this without removing the full skin. I recommend consulting a urologist for an evaluation. Costs can vary but are typically around 10,000-30,000 in most clinics, depending on the procedure and location.

It's good that you've stopped the habit, but it may take time for your body to fully adjust.

I've been using Monolox antibiotics, Flonida cream, and Supirocin ointment daily. Even though Flonida is meant to be used twice a week, I started using it daily after two weeks. Now, after three weeks, I see more swelling and redness around the opening of my penis. Could this be an STD, or maybe it's because of how the Flonida cream is affecting my skin? When I apply it, the foreskin touches the tip of my penis. I'm really anxiousis this a sign of herpes? What type of doctor should I consult?

It sounds like the swelling and redness you're experiencing could be related to the use of Flonida cream, especially if it is coming into contact with sensitive areas like the tip of your penis. However, since genital warts and other STDs can present with similar symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a **dermatologist** or a **venereologist** (specialist in sexually transmitted diseases) for a proper diagnosis and to rule out any concerns like herpes or other infections. It's important to get a professional opinion for peace of mind.

I'm curious about how masturbation affects both my body and mind, whether it's done occasionally or frequently. I'm wondering about the benefits and drawbacks because I feel like it might be making me lazy. What are your thoughts?

Masturbation, whether occasional or frequent, is generally a normal activity and can have both positive and negative effects. Occasional masturbation can reduce stress and help with relaxation, but frequent or compulsive behavior may lead to feelings of fatigue, distraction, or affect motivation. If you feel it's impacting your energy levels or daily life, it might be helpful to assess your habits and consider moderation.

I've been really worried because I've been doing masturbation a lot, maybe more than I should, and I feel like it's affected my stamina and energy levels. I think it's also impacted my size or maybe that's just in my head. Is there something I can do to get my stamina and energy back? Any advice would really help.

It's important to understand that occasional masturbation does not cause long-term harm, but excessive behavior might lead to temporary fatigue or decreased energy. To regain stamina, focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management. If you feel persistent issues, consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I've been experiencing something a bit odd that I'm worried about. Sometimes when I urinate, I find myself short of breath, but it doesn't happen all the time. It's only occurred about 5 or 6 times, with the last episode happening around 5 months ago. I don't have any significant medical history, so I'm unsure what's causing this. I'm curious if there might be some remedies I could try at home, or if this is something serious enough to see a doctor about. If so, could you suggest what kind of specialist I should consult? Any advice would be really helpful.

Its possible that the shortness of breath while urinating could be related to a temporary imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like breathing and bladder control. However, it could also indicate an underlying issue like a heart condition or a urinary tract issue. Since it's been infrequent and you have no medical history, its advisable to consult a **general physician** or **cardiologist** for a thorough evaluation.

I've been masturbating while lying down for a couple of years, and recently I found out it might be harmful to my penis. So, I stopped, but now I've noticed that my penis is curved to the right, and the color of the head has changed in some areas. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or will it naturally get better if I just stop masturbating?

It's good that you've stopped, but changes in the shape or color of your penis could indicate a condition that needs attention. A curved penis could be a sign of **Peyronie's disease**, and changes in color might suggest other concerns. It's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and guidance on treatment.

How can you tell the difference between congenital phimosis and adult-onset phimosis? Also, does having phimosis mean someone is impotent? And is there a way to treat congenital phimosis without needing surgery, maybe using something like betamethasone cream?

Congenital phimosis is present from birth, where the foreskin cannot be retracted due to a tight opening, while phimosis in adults often develops due to scarring or infection. Phimosis is not considered impotence, as it primarily affects the foreskin's ability to retract, not erectile function. Betamethasone cream can be effective in mild cases of congenital phimosis by reducing inflammation and allowing easier retraction, but surgery may still be required for more severe cases.

Its possible that the Patanjali Shilajit capsules may have affected your hormonal balance or caused temporary changes. For better management of early discharge and erectile issues, I recommend consulting with a doctor who can evaluate your specific condition and suggest treatments like lifestyle changes, counseling, or medications that address the root cause effectively.

I'm a bit concerned about my penis length, it's about 15cm. I'm not sure if that's enough for a good sexual life and it's affecting my confidence a little. Should I be worried about this?

A penis length of 15 cm is within the average range, and it's important to remember that sexual satisfaction is influenced by many factors, such as emotional connection, communication, and overall health. Confidence and intimacy are more significant than size, so don't worry; focus on building a healthy relationship and self-confidence.

Its best to keep the area clean and avoid any irritants until you can see the doctor on Monday.

I've been experiencing this strange wriggling sensation in my anus at night, and it's starting to worry me. I'm aware pinworms are mostly common in kids, but my anus gets really itchy, and I'm just not sure. I'm feeling embarrassed about seeing a doctor. Is there a way I can confirm if it's pinworms? Are there any over-the-counter medications that might help?

It's possible that you may have pinworms, as they can affect adults too, though it's more common in children. The wriggling sensation and itching at night are typical symptoms. To confirm, you can try the "tape test" (pressing a piece of clear tape to your anus in the morning before bathing) and check for eggs under a microscope. Over-the-counter medications like mebendazole or albendazole can help, but it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm really worried about something that's been happening and I hope you can help me out. I had protected sex a while back and noticed the condom had slipped a bit. A few days later, I found small bumps on my penis and went to a dermatologist who said it's molluscum contagiosum. They suggested I get a blood test after six weeks to check for things like HIV. I did the tests and thankfully they all came back non-reactive. I've been using the imiquad solution and the bumps seem to be shrinking, which is a relief, but now I'm dealing with penile discharge whenever I pass stool. Do you know what might be causing this or what I should do?

Its good to hear that your molluscum is improving with treatment. However, penile discharge during bowel movements may indicate an underlying issue, such as urethritis or infection. It would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any additional concerns.

I've been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my urine is getting stuck in my urethra. My bladder thickness came out normal in tests, and I had a prevoid volume of 584ml and postvoid of 44ml. The prostate is supposed to be normal at 20.4 grams, but I have noticed there's less pressure when I try to pee in the morning. This has been going on for about 67 years, and even when I had it checked earlier, the doctor said everything seemed fine. He even applied pressure inside my anus, and some liquid came out of my penis, but tests showed no infection. I'm just confused about what's happening. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of urinary retention or discomfort, which can sometimes occur without any underlying infection or structural issue, as your previous exams showed normal results. If the sensation persists or worsens, it might be helpful to follow up with a urologist for further evaluation to rule out any other causes, such as pelvic floor dysfunction or nerve issues.

It's important to follow your doctor's advice, as the T Bac 2% ointment is typically used for skin infections. Applying it on the penis should be done cautiously, especially if you're experiencing tightness and discoloration. If the skin is shrinking or becoming overly tight, I recommend consulting your doctor for a specific evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?

After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

I've got phimosis and talked to a urologist who suggested going through with a circumcision. I'm really scared of surgeries and was hoping for another way to treat it. He mentioned that the situation is quite tight, so I'm wondering if there's a different approach. Also, do adults get stitches after circumcision? How long would I need to stay in bed, and how many days will it take for everything to heal completely?

I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, if the phimosis is severe and cannot be resolved with other treatments, circumcision is often the recommended option. Yes, stitches are typically used in adult circumcision, and most people need about 1-2 weeks of recovery time, with complete healing taking around 4-6 weeks. Its important to follow your doctor's aftercare advice for the best outcome.

It's quite common for one testicle to hang lower than the other, and in most cases, it doesn't indicate any serious issue, especially if there is no pain. However, if you're concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really concerned about whether spermatorrhea is more of a psychological issue or an actual disease. Also, how can it be treated? Additionally, I'm confused about how to figure out if semen is being passed through my urine. Could you give me some guidance on this?

Spermatorrhea is typically not a disease but a condition where semen is involuntarily released, often due to psychological stress, anxiety, or physical causes like excessive sexual activity. It can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, stress reduction, and sometimes medication. To confirm if semen is passing with urine, a physical examination or urine test may be necessary to assess the presence of semen.

I'm having this consistent mild pain in my testicle, mostly on the left side. My doctor thought it might be epididymitis and put me on antibiotics, but it's been three weeks and I'm still in pain and feeling uncomfortable. I've had ultrasounds for my scrotum, kidneys, and bladder, and everything seems normal. I also got my testosterone levels checked, and it's at 327 ngdL. Is this a normal situation, or should I be worried about something else going on?

A testosterone level of 327 ngdL is not typically a cause for concern, and it is not usually linked to epididymitis. If your symptoms persist despite antibiotic treatment, it's important to follow up with your doctor, as there may be other underlying factors contributing to the ongoing pain.

It sounds like you may be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause the symptoms you're describing, such as fever, body pain, dehydration, and burning during urination.

For phimosis, you can consider Betnovate (Betamethasone) or Diprovate-G (Betamethasone with Gentamicin).

I've been worried about a recent encounter I had with a sex worker. We had a mouth-to-mouth kiss and there was probably some saliva exchanged. I also licked her breasts a couple of times, but there was no lactation. I haven't had any dental problems either, so I'm just wondering if there's any chance I could contract HIV from this situation. There wasn't any other sexual contact, like oral, vaginal, or anal sex involved. Could you shed some light on this for me?

The risk of HIV transmission through oral sex with a man is very low because the mouth is an unfriendly environment for HIV. Saliva contains enzymes that break down the virus and the mucous membranes in the mouth are more protective than anal or vaginal tissue

The dull burning sensation youre experiencing could be due to mild irritation or an inflammation in the area, possibly from sweating or friction. Its good that you're being cautious, but homeopathy for hemorrhoids shouldnt affect this. Try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and use a soothing cream like aloe vera. If it persists or worsens, a doctors consultation would be helpful.

Is there a specific diet or anything I can do to improve my health and boost my immunity? I'm also quite skinny, so I'm curious if over-masturbation could cause any issues for me down the line, and what kind of problems those might be.

I'm really concerned because I've been married for a couple of weeks now and I'm having trouble with intercourse. My erection just doesn't stay firm when I try to enter my partner. It'll start off fine, but then I lose it right at that moment. If I manage to get it up again, the same thing happens. I'm starting to feel really down about this and I'm worried if it's a permanent issue. Also, I'm worried my penis might not be big enough for sex, it's about 11 centimeters. Is this something that can be fixed?

I'm a 34-year-old guy dealing with these annoying anal fissures for about 5 years now, and they seem to keep coming back. It's been happening since 2011, and when they appear, the pain is just unbearable. I've been following the doctor's advice more fiber, stool softeners, using Lox 2 jelly, and taking sitz baths. They heal only to reappear like every 2-3 months, especially after episodes of very soft or hard stools. There's this fleshy part around my anus that sticks out, which I think makes things worse. A couple of months ago, I had a sigmoidoscopy, and while everything seemed normal, they did find a small fissure and small piles. The doc just said to keep on with the Lox 2 jelly and add some AnoBliss too. I'm wondering if there's a way to heal these fissures permanently without surgery. Is it alright to keep using Lox 2 jelly every time I go to the bathroom? And, are these recurring fissures something that could potentially lead to rectal or anal cancer?

I'm experiencing really bad pain in my testicles that spreads to my groin and my back thighs. My doctor had given me some antibiotics and it got better, but now, two months later, the pain is back again. I'm really worried about what's causing this recurring pain. Could you please help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm sorry you're experiencing this pain again. It sounds like you might be dealing with a recurring issue, possibly an infection or inflammation. Since antibiotics didn't fully resolve the problem, it's important to revisit your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more targeted treatment, like an ultrasound or different medications.

I'm dealing with a bilateral grade 1 varicocele, and I'm really worried because my left testicle is sagging a lot lower than my right one. It's causing a lot of pain and discomfort. I've seen a urologist who suggested I take Hetrazan and Health OK tablets, but they haven't really helped. Do you think I should consider surgery? If so, what type of surgery would be best with the least complications? I'm really anxious to find a solution.

Bilateral varicocele with discomfort, especially in the left testicle, may sometimes require surgery if symptoms persist. The most common option is laparoscopic varicocelectomy, which has fewer complications and a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery. It's best to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with your urologist to see if surgery is necessary in your case.

I've been getting this weird tingling and shooting pain in my penis, especially after a long erection, but sometimes even without one. Could this be connected to bloating somehow? It's really concerning me.

Bloating typically doesn't directly cause nerve pain in the penis, but pressure from abdominal bloating might irritate nearby nerves, potentially leading to discomfort. Shooting pain in the penis after prolonged erection or randomly could be due to nerve sensitivity, strain, or other underlying issues like pelvic floor tension. If it persists, consult a doctor.

I'm curious about the recovery process after circumcision surgery. How long should I plan to rest, and when can I start activities like riding a bike or going back to the office?

After circumcision surgery, it is recommended to take at least 1-2 days of rest to allow for initial healing. It is advisable to avoid driving a bike for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent any discomfort or complications. Returning to office work can typically be done after 3-4 days, depending on individual healing and comfort levels. Remember to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider for optimal recovery.

Every time I have sex with my wife, I end up with cuts on my foreskin. It's the same problem after I masturbate too. It's really painful, and the itching while they heal is driving me crazy. Could you recommend a cream or ointment that'll help with this?

You may be experiencing some irritation or friction during sexual activity leading to cuts on your foreskin. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the cuts twice a day after gently cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can also use a soothing cream like Aloe Vera gel to help with the healing process and reduce itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm dealing with a stubborn 6 mm kidney stone at the UV junction that's causing mild hydronephrosis in my right kidney. The doctor put me on urimax 0.4 mg for 10 days. It's been 15 days now, and the back pain is still around, sometimes even getting unbearable. We're trying to flush it out by drinking lots of water, but it seems like nothing's changed. What should we do next?

The medication prescribed by your doctor, capsule Urimax 0.4 mg, is commonly used to help pass kidney stones by relaxing the muscles in the urinary tract. However, since the pain is still persistent and sometimes unbearable, it may be necessary to consider a different approach. In this case, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help with the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, if the pain continues to be severe, your doctor may consider other interventions such as lithotripsy or surgery to remove the stone. It's important to keep hydrating well and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I just experienced some swelling on my penis after masturbating about 4 or 5 times in a row. It's really worrying me, and Im not sure what to do. Could you give me some advice?

You may be experiencing inflammation or irritation from excessive masturbation. I recommend taking a break from any sexual activity to allow your body to heal. You can also try using an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory cream like ibuprofen gel applied to the affected area to reduce swelling and discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent any further irritation. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Burning sensation near the vaginal area when passing urine and feeling itching near vaginal area and anus and I can feel a small pimples down the vagina. These symptoms could indicate a possible yeast infection or a bacterial infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Monistat for yeast infection. Apply it externally around the vaginal area and follow the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen for the burning sensation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm feeling a bit confused about who to see for issues with erectile dysfunction. Should I be looking for a urologist or is an andrologist the right specialist? What's the actual difference between the two?

Mild splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can coexist, but it's unclear if the enlarged spleen is directly causing your digestive issues. _Possible connections:_ 1. *Splenic flexure syndrome*: An enlarged spleen can put pressure on the splenic flexure (a part of the colon), leading to digestive issues like bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements. 2. *Immune system imbalance*: The spleen plays a role in immune function. An enlarged spleen might contribute to immune system imbalances, which could exacerbate IBS symptoms. 3. *Inflammation*: Splenomegaly can be associated with chronic inflammation, which might worsen IBS symptoms. _However, it's essential to note:_ 1. *IBS is a complex condition*: IBS has multiple factors contributing to its development, including gut motility, hypersensitivity, and psychological factors. 2. *Mild splenomegaly might not be the primary cause*: Your IBS symptoms might be unrelated to the enlarged spleen, or the spleen might be only one of several contributing factors.

I've been having this pain on the left side of my abdomen for about two weeks now.

I've been struggling with this huge problem for years now. Ever since I was 11, I've been caught up with masturbation, and now at 31, it's like I've done it over 17,500 times. Some days I even did it 5 or 6 times. I think it's really affected me. If you met me, you'd probably guess I'm a 17-year-old because I still look like one, even though I'm 31. Going to the bathroom takes way longer, and there are times when my stomach and even my ribcage hurt. My body just hasn't grown or changed in yearseverything's been the same. I've never been in a serious relationship and haven't had sex. I feel like my bad friends pulled me into porn and this habit, but Ive almost stopped watching it now since my parents are trying to find someone for me to marry. Lately, I've been feeling down and really want to get back to a healthier place. Do you think talking to a sexologist could help?

Consulting a sexologist or a healthcare professional can provide personalized guidance and support to help you overcome masturbation addiction, address related physical and emotional concerns, and improve overall well-being.

My dad's been dealing with this borderline prostatomegaly thing, and his ultrasound shows the prostate's borderline enlarged at 31x38x34mm and the volume's up to 224cc. There's no sign of any focal lesions, but I'm really worried. Is it necessary to go through another TURP surgery? Last time he had one was back in 2009. What's your take on this?

For borderline prostatomegaly with a prostate volume of 24cc, treatment options include watchful waiting, medications like alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride), and lifestyle changes; TURP surgery may not be immediately necessary, especially since your father had it in 2009, but it's essential to consult a urologist for personalized advice and to monitor prostate health.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Niftas 100 mg tablets for her urinary tract infection, and even though she doesn't have any pain in her abdomen, the pain still hasn't gone away after finishing the medicine. Her doctor told her to keep taking the tablets for another two months, but every time she takes them, she gets a really bad fever. Does this sound like a normal side effect of the medicine? And is there more we can do besides drinking 3 liters of water every day like the doctor suggested? Any advice would be great because we're a bit confused about what's happening.

Niftas 100 mg tablet contains Nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). _Fever as a Side Effect_ Fever is not a common side effect of Nitrofurantoin. However, it can occur in rare cases. If your mom experiences severe fever, it's essential to consult her doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions. _UTI Treatment and Prevention_ 1. _Complete the antibiotic course_: Ensure your mom completes the 2-month antibiotic course as prescribed by her doctor. 2. _Drink plenty of water_: Continue drinking 3 liters of water daily to help flush out bacteria. 3. _Urinate when needed_: Encourage your mom to urinate when she feels the need, rather than holding it in. 4. _Wipe correctly_: Teach your mom to wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria from entering the urethra. 5. _Avoid irritants_: Avoid using scented soaps, bubble baths, or douches, as they can irritate the urethra. 6. _Consider a urine culture test_: If UTI symptoms persist, consider a urine culture test to identify the underlying cause and adjust treatment accordingly. _Alternative Solutions_ 1. _Cranberry juice or supplements_: Cranberry products may help prevent UTIs by preventing bacterial adhesion. 2. _Probiotics_: Probiotics can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which can aid in preventing UTIs. 3. _Heat or cold therapy_: Applying heat or cold packs to the lower abdomen may help alleviate discomfort.

I've been experiencing some real issues after I masturbate. First, I get really dizzy and then it turns into vertigo. It's pretty intense. After a bit, it leads to vomiting and I also have to deal with highly pressurized stool. The vertigo just doesn't quit and can last up to 8 hours. I'm kind of at a loss here and Im wondering who I should talk to about this. Any ideas on whats going on or whom I should consult?

The symptoms you're experiencing after masturbation, such as dizziness, vertigo, vomiting, and stool, are not typical and may indicate an underlying condition. *Possible Causes* 1. *Vasovagal Syncope*: A reflex that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting. 2. *Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)*: A condition characterized by a rapid heart rate and other symptoms that occur upon standing. 3. *Migraine or Vestibular Migraine*: A type of migraine that affects the vestibular system, causing vertigo and other symptoms. 4. *Gastrointestinal Issues*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or other gastrointestinal conditions may be contributing to your symptoms. *What to Do* 1. *Consult a Primary Care Physician*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. *Keep a Symptom Journal*: Record your symptoms, including when they occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. *Avoid Triggers*: If you suspect that masturbation is triggering your symptoms, consider avoiding or reducing the frequency of this activity until you consult a doctor. *Specialists to Consider* 1. *Cardiologist*: If your doctor suspects a heart-related condition, such as POTS or vasovagal syncope. 2. *Neurologist*: If your doctor suspects a neurological condition, such as a migraine or vestibular disorder. 3. *Gastroenterologist*: If your doctor suspects a gastrointestinal condition, such as GERD or IBS.

I'm having this issue where every time I get an erection or after having sex, my penis seems to crack at one particular spot. It heals after a few days, but then it just happens again the next time. Is there any cream or solution I could use to prevent this from happening?

The recurring cracks on your penis, particularly in one position, during or after erection, may be caused by a condition called penile fissures, which can be painful and may lead to bleeding or infection; applying a topical cream or ointment, such as petroleum jelly, aloe vera gel, or a fragrance-free lubricant, may help soothe and protect the affected area

While having sex, I've noticed random cuts on the skin of my penis, and my partner experiences a burning sensation around the opening of her vagina. Could this be something serious? Sometimes we don't use protection. Also, I'm curious if there's a chance that kits might give incorrect results. Can you help with this?

The random cuts on your penis skin and your partner's burning sensation around the vaginal opening during sex could be indicative of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as herpes, HPV, or genital warts, or other conditions like genital eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; the lack of protection during sex increases the risk of STI transmission; regarding the accuracy of STI test kits, while they are generally reliable, there is a small chance of false negatives or false positives, so it's essential to consult a urologist

I'm dealing with a condition called balanitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. Could you suggest any creams or tablets that might help?

Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.

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 feeling super confused and kind of worried about masturbation. I usually do it once a month, but afterward, I end up feeling really down, tense, and sort of hopeless. It also messes with my motivation for studying and work. I've heard so many mixed opinions about whether masturbation can be bad for mental, sexual, or physical health. Some doctors say it's perfectly fine, while others call it a harmful habit. Can it really affect someone this much, or is it no big deal? I'd love to understand this better.

I'm worried about my sperm discharging too quickly and having a low sperm count. After releasing, I often feel really weak. Can you give me some advice on what might help with this?

it seems you have a side effects of excessive masturbation... Let me brief you.. Masturbation is a natural phenomenon. All men do this but as a natural principle excess of everything is always bad, so you must try to control it. Don't do it more than once or twice in a month. Don't worry you can do that... just do not watch porn Try not to be remain alone, don't read or view sexual literature, books, whatsApp & porn videos etc. Avoid oily, more spicy, Chilly and junk foods. Do exercise daily for one hr or yoga mainly Pranayam Meditation vajroli Mudra... Ashwini mudra. Start reading religious books. Please note that now a days the main drawback and side effect of the masturbation is once you are addicted to masturbation mostly and always by watching porn where you get different type of stories... relations... girls body... and styles... etc. Once u got married u don't get all those things with wife so u don't get aroused and you don't get proper erection. Now a day's mostly patients comes to us with the complaint that they are not able to get erection with wife in the bed but they are getting erection in the bathroom while masturbation. This is creating a lot of problem in their married life so my advice is to control it. If u are not able to do so then you must consult your family doctor, many times it's not possible to control without the help of your doctor. You can take Chandra kala ras 1 tablet morning and night after food Yastimadhu chuma 3gms morning and night with water

I'm a virgin and my penis is 4 inches long, and it's not circumcised. I'm kinda worried about whether that's enough to satisfy a partner. Also, I don't really shave or trim my pubic hair. Is shaving or trimming something that's necessary? Would love some advice.

The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis -- an erect penis of under 3 inches. Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size. Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way...

I'm noticing that my penis tends to lean to the right side, both when it's erect and when it's not. Plus, one of my testicles seems larger than the other. I recently masturbated for the first time in 56 days, and I felt pain during both masturbation and ejaculation. I'm feeling pretty worried about all this and wondering what could be going on with me. What should I do?

You should know that to form a semen lot of energy is utilised in the body and in masturbation again lot of calories is burned, so if done excessively might cause fatigue and tiredness. During this act, due to excessive force there might be injury to the genitals. 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. Try to engage in some athletic activities wity your friends.try to be invovled with your family which gives you a grounded atmosphere. If possible try to study in a library or do a combined study, just the fear of getting caught will itself might act beneficial. If you are still not satisfied kindly consult a physician for further managemen

I've just been told I have a small prostatic cyst that's about 6mm. Should I be worried about this? What's the typical treatment for something like this?

A 6mm prostatic cyst is generally considered small and may not be a cause for concern, as 5-8% of men have small prostatic cysts. However, it's essential to monitor it, as larger cysts can cause complications like urinary tract infections, hematuria, and voiding dysfunction. Treatment options vary depending on symptoms and cyst size. Small, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger or symptomatic cysts may need surgical excision, transurethral cyst catheterization, or other non-surgical interventions.

To control excessive masturbation, try distraction techniques, like engaging in sports, hobbies, or creative activities; practice relaxation methods, such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga; set realistic goals and track progress; seek support from a therapist, counselor, or support groups; and consider implementing a 30-minute delay tactic when urges arise, allowing you to reassess and redirect your focus,

The symptoms you're describing, including slight pain above the penis, heaviness in the testicles, and a specific location of the pain, warrant medical attention; possible causes range from epididymitis, orchitis, or a groin strain to more serious conditions like testicular torsion or a hernia; schedule an appointment with a urologist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

For the 14mm stone, medication such as Tamsulosin may be attempted in trying to let the stone pass, but the larger stone will definintely need surgical intervention. In such a condition, it may be best to treat both renal calculi with lithotripsy. Since the patient has a cardiac disease history, it is imperative to get clearance from the consulting cardiologist before proceeding.

I'm a bit worried about the mild varicocele diagnosis I got for my left testicle. The doctors mentioned they can't do much. I used to enjoy working out at the gym, but now, any kind of exercise seems to bring back the pain in my abdomen and testicle. I'm curious if going to the gym could have caused this varicocele? I generally stayed away from heavy lifting and mostly focused on weight-bearing and abs workouts. Is there anything I can do to manage this or any advice on what exercises are safe?

Varicocele is usually caused by the enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, often referred to as the "pampiniform plexus." While heavy lifting exercises can potentially exacerbate varicocele, any form of physical activity that increases intra-abdominal pressure, such as weight-bearing and abs workouts, can also contribute to the development or worsening of varicocele. It is advisable to avoid activities that strain the abdominal muscles and increase pressure in the scrotum. To alleviate symptoms and reduce discomfort, you can consider wearing a scrotal support or compression underwear during physical activities. Additionally, you may benefit from taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen to manage any discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Masturbation addiction is often associated to porn addiction. Try not to spend too much time alone, mingle with friends and family whenever you feel the urge to masturbate or watch porn. Regular exercise can help focus your energies in a more beneficial direction. A healthy diet with lesser processed foods and more greens can help control your impulses and center your mind. Read about the negative effects of masturbation over a long term which include lethargy, lack of focus and inorganic erectile dysfunction.

My frenulum got cut during sex with my girlfriend and now there's just a little pain left. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor?

Give it a rest for a week, that is no sex or masturbation, it should heal just fine as it doesn't sound deep. Avoid putting any type of cream on it just keep it clean and dry as possible and you will be fine... Don't apply cream as it keeps the wound moist and it will not heal for ages. Stop sex etc and if you see no improvement then as bad as it seems, you need to seek medical advice. .

I'm looking at my semen analysis report and I'm a bit concerned about the results. It says my progressive motile sperm count is 30, non-progressive motile count is 25, and in total, the motile sperm count is 45. I'm wondering if these numbers are okay when trying to have a baby with my wife, or if I should be consulting a doctor to work on increasing that progressive motile count. Is a count of 30 generally good enough for us to conceive, or is there something I should be doing?

WHO standards place desired progressive motility count at 32%. Overall motility at 40%. It may be advisable to visit a sexual health consultant and obtain a more detailed treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my health because of my past habits, and I need some advice. I've noticed that after years of excessive masturbation, things are starting to change for the worse now that I'm 21. I used to do it up to 34 times a day, and it has left me with some concerning issues. My nerves feel really weak, my penis bends to the left, and I can't seem to remember things as well as I used to. I also experience muscular pain and sometimes gastritis, and my mindset isn't great either; the fear of dying is always hovering over me. Blood circulation doesn't seem right, and I've got low sperm and hemoglobin counts. On top of that, I keep having wet dreams way too frequently. I really want to regain my vitality, vigor, and overall strength. Can you give me some guidance on how to turn these things around?

It sounds like youre going through a challenging time, but the good news is that many of your concerns can improve with lifestyle changes. Focus on healthy habits like balanced nutrition, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and practicing relaxation techniques. Consider speaking to a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions and get personalized guidance on managing stress and improving your overall health. Remember, recovery is possible with time and effort.

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis. They showed up about 23 days after I had oral sex, and they're giving me a slight sensation. Could you please let me know what this might be and what steps I should take?

The small red spots on the inner head of your penis, accompanied by a slight sensation, may be caused by several factors related to oral sex. Here are some possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Irritation or Allergic Reaction*: Your partner's mouth or saliva might have caused irritation or an allergic reaction, leading to red spots and discomfort. 2. *Cuts or Micro-Trauma*: Minor cuts or micro-trauma during oral sex can cause red spots and sensitivity. 3. *STDs or STIs*: Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs), such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea, can cause red spots or sores on the genitals. 4. *Balanitis*: This is an inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infection. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, urologist, or a dermatologist to evaluate the red spots and determine the underlying cause. 2. *Get Tested for STDsSTIs*: Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, it's essential to get tested for STDsSTIs to rule out any potential infections. 3. *Practice Good Hygiene*: Maintain good genital hygiene, and avoid any further irritation or trauma to the affected area. 4. *Abstain from Sexual Activity*: Avoid any sexual activity until you've consulted a doctor and received proper guidance.

I've just got my urine test results back and it mentions something about PUS cells being 56 hpf. My doctor said it's a UTI. What should I be doing to treat it, and is there anything I should be worried about?

For a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) diagnosis with 5-6 pus cellshpf, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics, such as Nitrofurantoin, Ciprofloxacin, or Amoxicillin, for 3-7 days to clear the infection; also, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene; potential risk factors if left untreated include kidney damage, recurrent infections, and sepsis, so complete the full antibiotic course and follow up

You should visit a sexologist to confirm a diagnosis of PE (premature ejaculation). The treatment of PE is dependant upon the severity of the condition. Lifestyle modifications to help your condition include cessation of smoking, stress control techniques such as meditationyoga and physical activity of at least 30 minutes per day.

I'm really worried about some issues I've been having recently. About a month and a half ago, I noticed my penis was itching and there was redness, a rash, and accumulated smegma. I'm uncircumcised and after searching online, I thought it might be balanitis. I've been applying coconut oil daily on my foreskin for over a month now, and while the rash, redness, and itchiness have gone, I've still got some cracks and cuts on the tip of my foreskin. I wash it daily, but for the past two weeks, there's been dry skin forming around the foreskin every day, even though I clean it regularly. On top of that, I recently had a really hard stool and now my anus is itchy and swollen. I used coconut oil for the itch, which helped, but the swelling is still there. I'm not sure what's going on with my penis and anus. Should I be washing off this dry skin that forms daily? Also, which type of doctor should I consult for these issues? Are there any home remedies you can suggest to help with these cuts and cracks? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any advice.

Your symptoms may be caused due to dehydration. Increase your fluid intake on a daily basis and improve your genital hygiene by drying yourself well after each wash. Use non-irritant moisturisers and if the problem exacerbates, you should consider visiting a dermatologist.

I'm a bit concerned because I recently swallowed my boyfriend's semen, and I've heard mixed things about it affecting the skin. Does swallowing semen really cause acne or breakouts, or could it possibly help with acne issues? I'm just curious and a little worried about how it might impact my skin.

Semen in fact contains spermine, which is an anti-oxidant believed to be beneficial for the skin. Acne breakouts are caused due to overstimulation of the sebaceous glands, which can result from a hormonal imbalance in the body, dysbiosis of follicular microbial

I'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel a burning sensation in my scrotum, but it's not constant. It kicks in after I've been driving for more than 30 minutes or sitting for a long time. I already talked to a dermatologist who suggested I try HH Zole ointments, but after using it for a week, I haven't seen much improvement. Could you please offer some advice?

The intermittent burning sensation in your scrotum, triggered by prolonged driving or sitting, may be due to a fungal infection, friction, or irritation; since the prescribed HH Zole ointment (an antifungal) was ineffective, consider consulting a urologist to rule out other conditions, such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection, and explore alternative treatments, like antifungal oral medications, steroid creams, or lifestyle modifications, including wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding tight underwear, and taking regular breaks to stretch and move during long drives.

I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex and I can't seem to last more than 10 seconds. Can you recommend any tablets or treatments that could help me stay harder for at least 5 minutes?

I'm experiencing a loss of sensitivity at the head of my penis. When I used to masturbate, I would feel an erection, but now I don't feel much. I'm not married yet, and I'm worried about why this is happening and how I can regain that sensitivity. Any thoughts?

Potential Causes* 1. *Over-masturbation*: Frequent or aggressive masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. *Poor circulation*: Reduced blood flow to the penis can cause numbness or decreased sensitivity. 3. *Nerve damage*: Injury or pressure on the nerves in the pelvic area can affect sensitivity. 4. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, or depression can contribute to decreased sensitivity. 5. *Medical conditions*: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or neuropathy, can affect nerve function and sensitivity. *Regaining Sensitivity* 1. *Take a break*: Avoid masturbation for a while to give your penis a chance to recover. 2. *Practice gentle masturbation*: When you do masturbate, use gentle, light touches to help your penis become more sensitive again. 3. *Improve circulation*: Engage in regular exercise, such as cardio or yoga, to enhance blood flow to the penis. 4. *Manage stress*: Try relaxation techniques, like meditation or deep breathing, to reduce stress and anxiety.

I recently had protected sex on June 26th and got an HIV RNA PCR test done on July 12th, which is like 15 days later. I'm really anxious to know if the results will be accurate. Is it true that you can do an HIV RNA PCR test after just 10 days?

For an accurate HIV RNA PCR test result, it's typically recommended to wait at least 10-14 days after potential exposure. Since you tested 15 days after the incident, it should provide a fairly reliable result, but the accuracy improves with more time. For complete certainty, consult with your doctor.

My husband has just been diagnosed with the initial stages of jaundice, and I'm really worried. Is it okay for us to have intercourse during this early phase of jaundice, or should we avoid it? Would really appreciate any advice you can give!

During the initial stages of jaundice, it's generally recommended to avoid intercourse. Here's why: _Jaundice Precautions_ 1. _Infection risk_: Jaundice can be a symptom of an underlying infection, such as hepatitis. Intercourse can increase the risk of transmission. 2. _Weakened immune system_: Jaundice can indicate a compromised liver function, which may weaken the immune system. Intercourse can further strain the body. 3. _Discomfort and fatigue_: Jaundice can cause discomfort, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. Intercourse may exacerbate these symptoms. _Precautions to Take_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Before resuming intercourse, consult with your husband's doctor to ensure it's safe. 2. _Practice safe sex_: Use condoms to minimize the risk of infection transmission. 3. _Monitor health_: Keep a close eye on your husband's health and adjust your decision accordingly.

I'm a bit worried because my penis bends to the left when it's fully erect. It kinda seems like it affects its length. I'm not really keen on surgery, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to straighten it out.

A bent penis, also known as Peyronie's disease, can be addressed through non-surgical methods, including oral medications like vitamin E, potassium para-aminobenzoate (Potaba), and pentoxifylline; topical creams containing verapamil or interferon; and physical therapy techniques like penile traction therapy (PTT) using devices like the Penimaster or Vacu Devices, which can help straighten the penis and potentially improve length appearance, but consult a urologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

I've noticed that after having intercourse with my partner, one side of my penis is swollen. There's no pain, but it does itch a bit. Is this normal after sex? Should I be doing something about it?

A swollen penis after intercourse, accompanied by itching but no pain, can be caused by an allergic reaction to latex condoms, lubricants, or spermicides, or by a skin condition like contact dermatitis; to alleviate symptoms, apply cool compresses, avoid scratching, and use antihistamine creams or hydrocortisone cream; however, if the swelling persists or worsens, or if you experience difficulty urinating, increased redness, or pain, consult a healthcare provider or a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

I've noticed this really large vein on the top side of my penis for the past few months, maybe more than a couple of years now. It's not painful, but it just seems off and looks quite pronounced. I haven't talked to a doctor about it yet, but I'm starting to get a bit worried. What do you think I should do next?

A prominent vein on the penis can be concerning. Here's a detailed guide to help you: *Possible Causes* 1. *Varicocele*: Enlarged veins within the scrotum. 2. *Penile venous leak*: Abnormal blood flow through penile veins. 3. *Thrombophlebitis*: Blood clot in a penile vein. 4. *Penile vein thrombosis*: Blood clot in a penile vein. 5. *Mondor's disease*: Thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis. *Diagnosis* 1. *Physical examination*: A doctor will examine the penis and scrotum to check for any abnormalities. 2. *Ultrasound or Doppler study*: To evaluate blood flow and check for any blockages or abnormalities in the penile veins. 3. *Blood tests*: To rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to the prominent vein. *Treatment* 1. *Varicocele*: Treatment may involve embolization, surgery, or lifestyle changes. 2. *Penile venous leak*: Treatment may involve surgery or lifestyle changes. 3. *Thrombophlebitis*: Treatment may involve anticoagulation medication, pain management, and compression. 4. *Mondor's disease*: Treatment may involve anticoagulation medication, pain management, and compression. *Advice* 1. *Consult a urologist or a primary care physician*: For a proper evaluation and diagnosis. 2. *Avoid self-diagnosis*: Don't try to diagnose yourself based on online research. 3. *Don't delay seeking medical attention*: Untreated conditions can lead to complications. 4. *Maintain a healthy lifestyle*: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress.

Whenever I drink water, I seem to need to urinate almost immediately, and it's starting to make me a bit anxious. I'm a 22-year-old male. Is this something I should be worried about?

Its natural to urinate after drinking water, but if you're noticing it happening very frequently or urgently, it might be worth keeping an eye on. Sometimes, increased frequency can be linked to hydration levels, diet, or even stress. If it continues or worsens, it could be a good idea to consult a doctor just to rule out any underlying issues.

I've been dealing with a urinary tract infection that lasted for nearly 2 months, from mid-February to mid-April. I initially thought this was why I couldn't ejaculate after masturbation during that period. Even though I'm now cured of the UTI, I'm worried because things aren't back to normal. After an orgasm, only a little semen comes out, and my penis feels really dry all the time. I'm really scared about this situation but I'm hesitant to visit a doctor because I'm still single. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Hi there..dry ejaculation ie man doesn't ejaculate semen after climax or releases very little.. many causes like repeated ejaculations use up al body's semen and hence further ejaculate can be dry, or Blocked sperm duct (ejaculatory duct obstruction), Certain medications used to treat high blood pressure, enlarged prostate and mood disorders, Genetic abnormalities of the reproductive system, Male hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency), retrograde ejaculation is common cause of dry ejaculate. Any surgery done over prostate, urethra could also cause.. sometimes dehydration also causes less semen.. have more fluids, don't be anxious about this, have proper nutritious food, maintain hygiene in private parts.. consult sexologist and urologist once.. there is nothing to be ashamed or scared to visit doctor for this problem since your single, as this needs evaluation and treatment as this could lead to infertility in future.

I'm a bit concerned about how often I should be masturbating. Are there any health effects from doing it? Like, is there a recommended number of times a week or month that's considered healthy? I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, with no serious physical or mental health effects when done in moderation; a healthy frequency can vary, but general guidelines suggest 2-3 times a week is normal, while excessive masturbation (more than 1-2 times a day) can lead to issues like fatigue, guilt, or decreased sexual sensitivity.

I'm really concerned because while I was masturbating, my foreskin's seal broke, and it started bleeding. It's not bleeding now, but it's pretty painful and hard to pull back. I'm struggling to clean it because of the pain. I'm also worried I won't be able to have sex with my girlfriend until it heals. I've just been rinsing it with water for now. Do you think this is serious? How can I make it heal faster, and once it does, will I be okay to have sex again? I'm pretty worried about this situation and would really appreciate some advice.

Sounds like you may have experienced a tear in your foreskin, which can be quite painful. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Once the tear has healed, you should be able to resume sexual activity with your girlfriend. However, it's important to give it time to heal properly before engaging in any sexual activity to avoid further injury or discomfort. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, it's important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I recently had a urine test that showed RBC 23 HPF, and I'm a bit concerned. I did an ultrasound and X-Ray KUB, and both came back normal. Been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I tried some homeopathy medicine for a month, and the results looked normal, but then another urine test a month later still showed RBC 23 HPF. What could be going on? I'm really worried and could use some advice.

The presence of red blood cells (RBC) in the urine can indicate various conditions such as urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your ultrasound and X-Ray KUB results were normal, it's important to address the burning sensation in your urine. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat any possible urinary tract infection that may be causing the symptoms. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine 200mg three times a day for 2 days to help relieve the burning sensation. It's also important to stay well-hydrated and avoid irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a urologist may be necessary.

Should I be worried about this? Also, when I masturbate, I usually ejaculate within one minute, and I do this about twice a week. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Penis size can vary among individuals and what you have described is within the normal range. There is no need to be concerned about the size difference. Ejaculating quickly during masturbation is a common issue known as premature ejaculation. To help with this issue, you can try using medications like Dapoxetine.

I'm experiencing a tingling sensation in my penile nerves, but I haven't had any trauma, and my blood reports came back negative. Could this be due to frequent or hardcore masturbation? I also feel a burning sensation at the tip of my penis after peeing, but it happens only if I watched porn before. Is there a way this could heal naturally? I'm really depressed about this situation. I've been prescribed tricyclic antidepressants by my doctor for 3 months, but its been 4 months now, and I only took them for 2 months. Can these meds help with my issue, or do you have any other suggestions? I'm looking for advice on what steps to take next.

It is possible that the tingling sensation in your penile nerves, along with the burning sensation at the tip of the penis before urination, could be related to nerve irritation or inflammation. This could be aggravated by frequent or vigorous masturbation. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking Vitamin B complex supplements, which can support nerve health. Additionally, you can apply a topical numbing cream containing lidocaine to the tip of the penis to help with the burning sensation. As for the tricyclic antidepressants you were prescribed, they can sometimes be used to help manage nerve-related pain. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Since you have only taken the medication for 2 months out of the recommended 3 months, it may be beneficial to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed. It is also important to practice good genital hygiene, avoid any activities that worsen your symptoms, and give your body time to heal naturally. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management

I've been masturbating since I was 15 and I'm 17 now. I've heard that it might lower zinc and testosterone levels, and it's really got me anxious. Could you please tell me if that's actually true?

Masturbation does not decrease zinc or testosterone levels significantly. It is a normal and healthy activity.

Testicle pain can have various causes, including infections or inflammation. In your case, it is important to rule out any underlying infection.

I'm 29 and I'm dealing with a few issues that are really bothering me. My penis is small, and I have trouble with it not getting hard when I'm having sex. Plus, I end up finishing way too quickly. It's really affecting my confidence, and I just want my penis to be bigger and thicker. Can you give me some advice or suggest something that might help?

For increasing penis size and improving hardness, you can consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg before sexual activity. For premature ejaculation, you can try Dapoxetine 30mg. Both medications can help improve your sexual performance. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.

I've been told I have a left varicocele grade 2 or 3 with some mild reflux. My sperm count and motility are low too. What treatment options are available for this? I'm really curious which one might be the best for me, and if it could help improve my sperm count and motility.

Left varicocele grade 2 or 3 with mild reflux, low sperm count, and low motility can be treated with medication or surgery. The best treatment for varicocele with low sperm count and motility is typically surgical repair of the varicocele, known as varicocelectomy. This procedure can improve sperm count and motility by reducing testicular temperature and improving blood flow to the testes. Medication options include pain relief medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. However, for low sperm count and motility, medications like Clomiphene or Letrozole can be prescribed to help increase sperm production. Additionally, antioxidants like Coenzyme Q10 or Vitamin E may also be recommended to improve sperm quality. It is important to consult with a urologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for your specific case.

I'm experiencing a ticklish sensation in my penis for the last four days after masturbating. I've been drinking a lot of water and peeing frequently, which gives me temporary relief. But during the end of urination, I feel this strange sensation in my lower abdomen, though nothing actually hurts. I'm sure it can't be an STD since I'm a virgin. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

This could be a sign of urinary tract irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking a course of an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the discomfort and burning sensation during urination. Additionally, you may also consider taking a medication like Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) to help reduce any inflammation in the urinary tract. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. To help improve the strength of your erections and prolong intercourse, you can try taking medications like sildenafil or tadalafil. These medications help increase blood flow to the penis, resulting in stronger and longer-lasting erections. Additionally, practicing techniques to delay ejaculation, such as the start-stop method or the squeeze technique, can also be helpful. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress to improve your sexual health.

I'm dealing with a curve in my penis that bends to the left, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. Is there any specific exercise I can do, or a proper way to masturbate, that might help make it straighter?

To address this issue, you can try performing penile stretching exercises to help straighten your penis. One common exercise is the penile traction method, where you gently stretch your penis in the opposite direction of the curve for a few minutes each day. Additionally, using a penile traction device may also help in straightening your penis over time. It's important to be patient and consistent with these exercises for them to be effective. Remember to be gentle and not forceful to avoid any injuries.

You may be experiencing a condition called balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks to treat any possible fungal infection. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can help prevent further cracking.

I've been feeling my testicles getting hot most of the time, especially when I'm sitting. There's no itching or redness, just this warmth that's got me a bit worried. I've only been married for about 2.5 months. Could this be something serious, or is it just a normal thing?

sounds like you may be experiencing some discomfort in your testicles. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as increased blood flow, inflammation, or infection. Since you mentioned no itching or redness, it is less likely to be a fungal infection.

I've been dealing with this tingling sensation and burning at the tip of my penis when I pee for almost a year now. I saw a doctor before, and they put me on antidepressants, which seemed to help, but whenever I stop taking them, the symptoms come back. I've also noticed some pain at the base of my penis. What's going on here? Is there something else I should be looking into?

Tingling in the penile area, burning sensation at the tip of the penis after urination, and pain at the base of the penis could be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since you have already tried antidepressants without complete relief, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen for the pain.

I've been wondering and I'm a bit worried because when I was around 16, I used to masturbate a lot and applied pressure on my penis against the bed. Now, my outer skin has kind of opened up, and the inner skin is exposed. I'm concerned if this could cause any issues in the future. Could you give me some advice on whether this might be a problem?

Sounds like you may have experienced some trauma to the skin of your penis. If the inner skin is now exposed to the environment, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with any discomfort. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus-like discharge, please seek medical attention promptly. It's also important to avoid any further trauma to the area to allow it to heal properly.

I've been feeling this weird tingling sensation in my urethra for a while now, but there's no UTI or any other known problem.

It's kind of torturous when it's there. Do you think it could be urethral syndrome or maybe something related to nerves? Are there any meds that could help with this?

Urethral irritation usually presents in this way. To help alleviate the tingling sensation, you can try taking Flavoxate (brand name Urispas) 200 mg tablets.

Experiencing vague pain or discomfort in the right testicle can be a concerning symptom. It is possible that excessive masturbation may be contributing to this issue. To prevent further discomfort, you can try reducing the frequency of masturbation and ensuring proper lubrication during the act.

I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?

To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream.

In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I've been masturbating since I was 16, and now at 29, I'm dealing with some discomfort. After I masturbate, I feel pain in my knee joints, right side of my back, and lower waist. The weird thing is, the pain sticks around for 2 or 3 days and then just disappears on its own. I'm planning to get married soon and wondering if this could affect my married life. Can you shed some light on why this might be happening and if there's any reason to worry when it comes to my future marriage?

Could be due to muscle strain and tension caused by the physical exertion involved in the act. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. Additionally, you may benefit from applying a topical pain relief gel or cream to the affected areas. As for your concerns about this impacting your marriage life, it is unlikely to be a significant issue as long as you take steps to address the pain and discomfort you are experiencing. It is important to communicate openly with your partner about any discomfort you may be feeling and to explore different sexual positions or activities that are more comfortable for you. Remember to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and consider incorporating stretching exercises into your routine to help prevent muscle strain.

Try using a topical cream containing Alprostadil. Apply a pea-sized amount of Alprostadil cream directly to the penis twice daily.

I've been having some issues after masturbating last night. After about 12 hours, I noticed blood on the head of my penis. I urinated and washed it, but it happened two more times after peeing. By morning, my urine seemed normal again. I had an ultrasound and urine test done, and they were normal, except for red blood cells detected in my urine. I'm worried because when my penis gets erect, I feel a very slight pain in the middle for about 12 seconds, and then it bleeds, especially after I urinate a few times. After around 23 urinations, everything seems to go back to normalno pain or blood. I'm taking leon 500 once a day, but I'm concerned about any blockage or injury from masturbation. Could you suggest what might be going on?

you may be experiencing some trauma or injury to your penis during masturbation. The presence of blood in the urine and pain during erection could be indicative of a urethral injury or inflammation. Since you have already taken Leon-500, which contains Levofloxacin, an antibiotic, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed to prevent any infection. I recommend you also take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen to help reduce any inflammation and pain in the area. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to prevent infection. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out your system and avoid any activities that may further irritate or injure the area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 17-year-old guy and I'm really worried about a few things. I've got a pretty small penis, like about 3 inches, and I've been masturbating every day for the past three years. I just can't seem to stop. I'm also dealing with premature ejaculation, which happens really fast, and there are wrinkles on my penis.

If you have a problem with obtaining and maintaining erections, you can seek help from a sexual health expert, who can prescribe you medication to deal with Erectile Dysfunction, and also Premature Ejaculation.

I'm really worried because I've been over-masturbating and it's causing a bunch of problems. I've got this awful lower back pain, my eyes are constantly strained, and my sleep patterns are all over the place. There's this weird whitish substance under my armpits, and I'm losing hair on my scalp, which is more sensitive now. I've even noticed small boils and some slight pain in that area. My groin and pelvic area feel cramped, and while my erections seem normal, I don't get morning erections anymore. The real kicker is that orgasms during masturbation just don't feel the same. What should I do?

You may be experiencing symptoms related to over masturbation. To address these issues, I recommend the following: 1. Lower back pain and strain in eyes: You can take acetaminophen for pain relief and use lubricating eye drops for eye strain. 2. Abnormal sleep patterns: Consider practicing good sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques before bed. 3. Whitish substance in armpit and scalp, sensitive scalp, small boils on scalp: Use an antifungal shampoo like Ketoconazole for scalp issues and an antifungal cream for armpit concerns. 4. Hair fall: Use minoxidil solution on the scalp to promote hair growth. 5. Groin and pelvic cramps: You can try over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for relief. 6. Erectile issues and lack of morning erections: Consider taking sildenafil for erectile dysfunction. 7. Inability to feel orgasm like before: You may benefit from counseling or therapy to address any psychological factors contributing to this issue. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages for each medication and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

It's affecting our intimacy, and I'm worried because I can't satisfy her fully. It's bending and not working as it should. What could be the cause of this? What can I do to resolve it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend you try using Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg to 100mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This medication can help improve blood flow to the penis and support a stronger erection. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've got some worries about my penis size. I'm around 5.4 feet tall and weigh 74 kg. My size is about 5.3 to 5.4 inches, and I just don't feel okay with it. Is there anything I can do to increase it? What's the best way to go about this?

It's important to know that there are no medications or treatments that have been scientifically proven to permanently increase penis size. However, there are surgical options available such as penile implants or injections, but these come with risks and are usually reserved for individuals with medical conditions affecting the penis. For non-surgical options, you can try penile exercises such as jelqing or stretching exercises, but it's important to be cautious as these may cause injury if not done correctly. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake can help improve overall sexual health. It's important to remember that penis size does not determine sexual satisfaction, and communication with your partner is key. If you have further concerns, I recommend speaking with a urologist for personalized advice and guidance.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed some small white lumps in my semen when I ejaculate after masturbating. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on?

These small lumps you are noticing in your semen could be due to a few different reasons. One possibility is that they are sperm clumps, which can be normal and not a cause for concern. However, if these lumps are accompanied by pain, swelling, or changes in your semen consistency, it could be a sign of an underlying issue such as an infection or inflammation of the prostate or seminal vesicles. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm 24 and really concerned about my penis size, as it seems unusually small. When it's not erect, it's less than 2 inches. I'm wondering if there's a way to increase its size? Also, could you tell me what's considered a normal size for a penis both in an erect and non-erect state? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

The average size of a flaccid penis is typically around 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches, while the average size of an erect penis is around 5.1 to 5.7 inches. It's important to note that penis size can vary and is not necessarily an indicator of sexual function or satisfaction. There are some medications available that may help with erectile dysfunction and potentially improve blood flow to the penis, leading to firmer erections.

I've been experiencing some troubling symptoms after I masturbate. My penis starts hurting, and it feels like I need to pee, but nothing happens when I try. Lately, I've noticed my endurance during masturbation has gone down too. I end up feeling weak and sore all over the next day. A few days ago, I even felt a burning sensation under the skin of my penis. I'm really worried and not sure what's going on. Can you help?

These symptoms may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation. I recommend you take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should apply a topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin on the burned area of your penis to prevent infection. It is important to drink plenty of water to help with urination and flush out any potential infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this issue where I was masturbating and it got a bit rough, and now I think I might've pulled a vein or something. Its been a month and whenever I get an erection or need to pee, I feel a bit of pain. It feels like it's getting worse since I havent really stopped having sex or masturbating since it started. Can you recommend any ointment or something that might help relax my veins and speed up recovery?

No need to worry take some rest.give some time for it to heal.do not attempt to do such activity for a while,if its bothering you more,visit Urologist for appropriate management.

I'm a 19-year-old guy and lately, I've been noticing something strange. When I masturbate, it feels good during the act, but once I ejaculate, there's nothinglike, no orgasm or any feeling at all. Is this something I should be worried about?

Not feeling an orgasm during masturbation, also known as anorgasmia, can be caused by various factors, including: Physical Factors 1. Over-masturbation: Frequent masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. Nerve damage: Injury or damage to the nerves in the genital area. 3. Hormonal imbalance: Imbalances in testosterone, dopamine, or serotonin levels. 4. Medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants, can affect orgasm. Psychological Factors 1. Stress and anxiety: High stress levels can affect orgasm. 2. Depression: Depression can lead to a decrease in libido and orgasmic function. 3. Performance anxiety: Anxiety about sexual performance can affect orgasm. Lifestyle Factors 1. Lack of sleep: Fatigue can affect orgasmic function. 2. Poor diet: A diet lacking essential nutrients can affect hormone levels and orgasm. 3. Substance abuse: Substance abuse can affect hormone levels and orgasmic function.

I've been masturbating every day for the past three months and I'm worried if this could have any harmful effects or cause problems in the future. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to be concerned about?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality. Masturbating once a day for 3 months is unlikely to cause harm. However, consider: - _Overstimulation_: Frequent masturbation can lead to temporary desensitization or discomfort. - _Skin irritation_: Aggressive or rough masturbation can cause skin irritation or injury. - _Impact on relationships_: Excessive masturbation might affect your relationships or daily life. No significant long-term problems are expected. If you're concerned, consult a healthcare provider or a sexologist for personalized advice.

I've noticed my penis seems to be getting really small and even shrinking up to my lower abdomen when I go to urinate, particularly this winter. Im 36 and have never experienced this before. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a medical issue?

Cold Weather: Exposure to cold temperatures can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a temporary decrease in penis size. This is a common phenomenon, especially during winter months.

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?

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.

I'm dealing with this weird issue where the skin on my penis is really sticky and itchy. Its also a bit painful when I try to pull it back. Theres this sticky, white stuff on the head that looks kind of like dried semen, but I know its not. It's been about three days now and while it doesn't mess with my erections or passing urine, it's pretty uncomfortable. What could be going on and how should I treat it?

You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis. To help relieve the symptoms of itching and pain, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can also help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about using steroid cream for treating phimosis. What kind of side effects should I be aware of? Do you think it's a better option to just go for the operation instead?

-Steroid creams for phimosis can sometimes cause skin thinning or irritation if used long-term. If the condition doesn't improve, circumcision or preputioplasty is a more definitive solution. Consult a urologist to choose the best option for you.
