Question 1

Why have I started experiencing really bad menstrual cramps when my flow seems normal and there's nothing obviously wrong with my body? It's weird because I never had cramps before, and none of the other women in my family, except one aunt, have dealt with this kind of pain. I've had various infections in the past like small intestinal and urinal infections, but those were two years ago, so I'm not sure if there's any connection. It's frustrating because I've seen multiple doctors, and they haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of my problem. Could there be a link between my past infections and these cramps?

Accepted Answer

-It's possible that past infections could have contributed to changes in your menstrual cycle or pelvic area sensitivity. Sometimes, infections can lead to lingering inflammation or affect the way the uterus responds during menstruation. However, without

Question 2

I've had a bit of an accident where I accidentally burned the skin on my testicles with Dettol. It turned red and kind of loose afterward, but my doctor helped by giving me an injection, which seemed to get it back to its original shape. Now, I'm rea...

Accepted Answer

Chemical burns can be painful and concerning, especially when they affect sensitive areas.

Chemical Burns and Testicular Health

Dettol liquid contains chloroxylenol, a disinfectant that can cause chemical burns, especially if used undiluted or on sensitive skin. The burn may have caused:

1. Inflammation: Redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area.
2. Skin damage: Burns can cause skin damage, potentially leading to scarring or changes in skin texture.

Sexual Health Concerns

Fortunately, the doctor's prompt treatment, including the injection, helped restore the skin to its original shape. However, it's essential to address potential sexual health concerns:

1. Pain during sex: You may experience temporary pain or discomfort during sex due to the burn.
2. Skin sensitivity: The affected skin may remain sensitive for some time, potentially affecting sexual activity.
3. No long-term effects: In most cases, chemical burns on the testicles do not cause long-term sexual health problems, such as infertility or erectile dysfunction.

Follow-up and Precautions

To ensure a smooth recovery and minimize potential complications:

1. Follow-up appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor the healing process.
2. Practice good hygiene: Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps on the affected area. Instead, use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.

Question 5

I'm really worried because when my husband and I try to have sex, it feels like his penis can't even go in a bit, like something's blocking it. We've tried multiple times with a lot of lube and foreplay but still, it's like he's hitting a wall. Somet...

Accepted Answer

The difficulty with penetration, despite adequate lubrication and foreplay, could be due to various factors, including vaginismus, pelvic floor muscle tension, or anatomical issues, such as a septate hymen or vaginal stenosis, and it's essential to consult preferably a gynecologist

Question 6

I'm dealing with some sores on my penis and scrotum that started about a week ago, and there's a lot of itchiness too. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing symptoms of a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication such as Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with healing.
