View allI've noticed that my penis bends to the left, and I'm wondering if that's normal. Could this be from masturbating? I'd really like to know if there's a way to straighten it out.
Its normal for the penis to have a slight curve, and a bend to the left isnt usually a problem. Masturbation doesnt cause this, so dont worry. If the bend causes pain, difficulty during sex, or concerns, consult a urologist to rule out conditions like Peyronies disease. Otherwise, no treatment is needed.

Hey, so I recently found out I have Epididymo Orchitis after visiting the doctor because my right testicle was really swollen. I'm on antibiotics now, but I'm really curious how long it's going to take for this swelling to completely disappear. Any idea what the usual timeline is for something like this?
Swelling from epididymo-orchitis usually begins to improve within a few days of starting antibiotics, but it can take **2-4 weeks** for the swelling to completely resolve. Rest, scrotal support, and anti-inflammatory medications can help speed up recovery. If swelling persists, follow up with your doctor.

I'm wondering why my urine is yellow every morning. During the day, as long as I'm constantly drinking water, my urine looks fine. But if I skip drinking water for a couple of hours or more, it turns yellow again. I aim to drink about 5-6 liters of water each day, but obviously, I can't while I'm sleeping, so the issue comes back every morning. Could this be a sign of something serious? Should I consult a specific type of doctor? I had a full body check-up six months ago, and they said I was completely fine. Also, I've been having some digestion problems. What do you suggest I do about all this?
The new symptoms of heavy gas and sharp back pain require attention. Stop taking LMX 500 and Rabesec 20 immediately and consult your gastroenterologist as soon as possible. In the meantime, consider taking an antacid or a gas-relieving medication like Simethicone (Eno) to alleviate symptoms. Apply a warm compress to your back to help manage the pain. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and consider a bland diet to ease digestion. Seek medical attention promptly to adjust your treatment plan and address the new symptoms.
