I'm experiencing something odd when I go to the bathroom. Occasionally, I find myself short of breath while I'm urinating. It's not a constant issueit last happened about five months ago, and it's only occurred a few times in total. I don't have any medical history that might explain this. 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.

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past year, and it's been affecting my life in a big way. The doctor gave me some medicine to try, but I'm a bit anxious about whether it's safe and how effective it might be. Can you explain what I should expect from the treatment and if there are any side effects to watch out for?

Question

I'm having a bit of a problem where my frenulum seems too short, making my foreskin really tight and painful when I try to pull it back over the head. I'm wondering, is frenuloplasty my only option here? Also, how much does that kind of surgery typically cost?
