I am 21 years old and a small part of my foreskin (not frenulum) is still attached to glans penis as there is no pain but it looks very different from normal ,what can I do at home to remove or retract full foreskin

Urologist
Answered on 13th Feb '25
What you're experiencing might be a common issue known as phimosis, where the foreskin doesn't retract fully. While it’s usually harmless, it's important to keep the area clean. You can gently try to retract the skin during bathing, but avoid forcing it to prevent discomfort. Applying a little moisturizer may help ease the process. If you notice any changes or have concerns, I highly recommend consulting a urologist for personalized advice.

I’ve had a chronic UTI for over a year all my test come back normal, antibiotics work for about a week or 2 then I get a uti infection again followed by a yeast infection. I’ve been on antibiotics for the past year every month I’ve had a flare, my blood work is good, but prolactin levels are at 24-33, could there be any correlation? I wipe correctly, wear cotton underwear I do it all… one time I had no uti symptoms except for a fever I went to the emergency room and I had a uti once again I was on the verge of septic shock 4 weeks later I had another uti and so on, a week ago again every month, the doctor seems confused and the gynecologist didn’t find anything. The kidney doctor didn’t either, my white blood cells are fine, what else could I ask to her checked ?

Your tests are normal, yet you experience symptoms, so speak to your healthcare provider and ask about the prospect of further evaluations. You can ask them if cultures for specific bacteria or other potential causes like interstitial cystitis, bladder issues, or anatomical abnormalities should be performed. Prolactin levels may not be a direct cause of UTIs, however, it's worth discussing with your doctor. Furthermore, the introduction of probiotics will help win the war over flora and will make yeast infection less likely to occur. Bringing in a specialist in chronic pelvic pain or a urologist who is familiar with recurrent UTIs can help you explore less conventional routes to avoiding and managing this condition.

Hi i am 51 years old, I am having a burning sensation in urine after doing cycling for 4-5 days. Gan u suggest me any medicine
Female | 51
You might have got a urinary tract infection. While riding a bicycle, it can move germs into your bladder and this may be at least part of why you feel a burning sensation when you pee. One way to deal with this is to get your water intake high and take painkillers that you can find over the counter like ibuprofen. In addition to this, it's necessary to have a urologist evaluate you for a solution and proper care.

Male | 43
Properly addressing that the pain/soreness and a lump in the testicle can be due to so many reasons is essential. Sometimes, it could be an indifferent fluid-filled tumor but testicular cancer should be ruled out along with the others. In any case, it's essential to have a urologist check it out promptly so they can provide the appropriate treatment.

I am explaining briefly about erectile dysfunction and pre-mature ejaculation so that it takes fear out of you.
In erectile dysfunction, men are not able to get or keep an erection that is sufficient to have penetrative sex. In premature ejaculation men come out Very fast, men gets discharged either before penetration or immediately after penetration, they hardly get some strokes, so the female partner remains unsatisfied.
This may be due to so many factors like High cholesterol, High blood pressure,
Diabetes, excessive masturbation, excessive porn watching, nerves weakness,
Obesity, thyroid, heart problem, alcohol, Tobacco use, Sleep disorders, Low testosterone, tension, stress etc.
These problems of erectile dysfunction and pre-mature ejaculation are very much treatable.

Take Aswagandhadi churan half teaspoon in the morning & in the night.
Take Capsule SHILAJIT one in the morning and one in the night,
Take tablet manmath Ras one in the morning and one in the night.
Take tablet Pushp dhanva Ras one in the morning and one in the night. And take tablet Sidh makardhwaj Vati with gold, one in the morning and one in the night after food.
All the above preferably with hot milk or with water
Also apply and message Shri Gopal tail on your penis three times a week for 2 to 4 minutes.
Avoid junk food, oily and spicier food, alcohol, tobacco, tension and anxiety.
Start doing brisk walk or running or cardio exercises for at least 30 min a day. Start doing yoga, pranayama, meditation, Vajroli mudra. Ashwini mudra, kegel exercise for at least 30 min a day.
Start taking hot milk twice a day.
2-3 dates in the morning and in the night with milk.
Do all the above suggested treatment for 3 months and see the results.
If you don't get satisfactory results then please go to your family doctor or a good sexologist.

Hello, my mom went to the doctor for UTI symptoms. After checking her, the doctor prescribed her Ciprofloxacin. After reading the severe side effects it has, my mother is uncomfortable in taking it. Would Ciprofloxacin (antibiotic) be the first option to treat a UTI? Are there other antibiotics with less severe side effects? She hasn't taken the antibiotics as she's not been feeling well. The past two days she had chills and feeling warm. They also sent my mom her culture test a few days later after the doctor visit. They determined she has a UTI and provided a list of other antibiotics

I did 200 sit-ups, now my testicles are feeling like uncomfortable and sensitive. What shall I do now?
Male | 20
It's normal to feel TESTICULAR discomfort after sit-ups.. It's due to increased intra-abdominal pressure.. The pain should go away in a few hours. If it persists, apply an ice pack on the area for 20 minutes.. Take over-the-counter pain relievers, if the pain is severe.. If you notice swelling or REDNESS, seek medical attention.. Remember to breathe out during the sit-up's exertion phase.. Avoid holding your breath.

I'm 26 yrs old . I have just feel a fluid type in my right testis. Doctor says it's a normal issue so he gave me some medicines . Ultrasound shows a minimal hydrocele tested by a radiologist I have go to urologist doctor he just gave me tabs . Now after 15 days I don't feel any recovery Thanks
Male | 26
The pathological status of the testis (HC) is called where the fluid collects around the testicle. It is a source of swelling and heaviness. The tablets the urologist gave you should be able to reduce the swelling, but in case of no effect within two weeks, you should see your doctor. Sometimes, it only requires more time or a different way of treatment.

Male | 23
It can sometimes be challenging to differentiate between a UTI and an STI based solely on symptoms. Both UTIs and STIs can cause similar symptoms such as pain or discomfort during urination, frequent urination, and an urgent need to urinate.

You're worried about symptoms. This condition causes testicular problems that last longer. It makes pain, swelling, and discomfort in that area. Different causes like infections trigger it. You need help from a urologist for the right diagnosis and treatment. Don't scratch there to avoid irritation. Do relaxing stuff to reduce stress which can make symptoms worse.

after protected sex for 3 time and unprotected sex for ones , first i started having burning sensation on my penis tip while urinating. It eventually went away but now the foreskin has got tighten.
Male | 23
You are feeling a bit uncomfortable in that area. When you pee and feel a burning sensation, it could be because of an infection such as a UTI (urinary tract infection). This might have caused swelling which made the skin on your penis tight. Infections can sometimes stick around and affect other parts too. So it would be good for you to see a urologist who will give you the right treatment.

A UTI (urinary tract infection) is caused when bacteria enter the urinary tract and infect it. Symptoms include pain or burning when you pee, feeling like you need to pee a lot, and cloudy or smelly pee. Ample water intake, prescribed antibiotics accompanied by a urologist's consultation, and good hygiene are things that might help if you have UTI.

I'm a 22 years old male. Recently I have noticed that the area around my penis or I should say the area around my urinary bladder is painful. Whenever I walk or I press their a little bit, it pains. Please let me know if it's a disease or only a pain. Please let me know the causes and treatments. Thank you
Male | 22
You might be feeling discomfort in your lower abdominal area, particularly the one where your bladder is. A urinary tract infection (UTI), which is a common condition among young adults, maybe the cause of this. UTI symptoms include painful urination with a burning sensation, frequent urination, and bladder area discomfort. It is crucial to keep your body hydrated and not to hold in your urine. Consult a urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have a small painless lump felt on my left testicle. I have not been experiencing any drawbacks since detecting it but I'm afraid it might be cancer. When I press it up on the skin I can see that it's clear white in colour.

Most of these lumps are not dangerous and aren't cancerous. However, you should see a urologist immediately if you notice anything strange. Painless testicle lumps can arise from cysts or infections that cause swelling. While the clear white color may be good news, still get a professional opinion.
