Had hernia surgery on June 15 but still dealing with stomach issues and trouble urinating. My doctor says urine problems aren't related to the surgery could there be another reason for these symptoms? Feeling really uncomfortable and unsure what to do next.

I'm experiencing this constant burning and heating sensation down there, and it's really bothering me. My ultrasound report mentioned something about "subtle mucosal irregularity in the trigone region" of my urinary bladder. I've been trying to drink more water, but it doesn't seem to help the pain at all. What could be going on, and what should I do next?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a urinary tract infection or inflammation in the bladder. To help alleviate the burning sensation, you can take an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed this strange dark discoloration on the head of my penis, and it seems to get more noticeable after I take a shower. Oddly though, whenever I masturbate, it doesn't really appear there anymore. It doesnt hurt or cause any irritation at all. Could this be related to an STD?

Candid cream for local application,for 2 weeks is advised.
