Question

I've been using mintop minoxidil topical solution 5 for the last year and a half. In the past six months, I've noticed my libido has been dropping, and now it's completely gone. I have no erections and my semen seems watery. I stopped using minoxidil a month ago, hoping things would get better, but there's still no change. Everyone keeps saying minoxidil is safe, but it feels like it's turned my life upside down. I don't care about my hair anymore; I just want my libido back. Will I ever regain it?

Minoxidil is generally safe, but your symptoms might suggest other underlying issues, such as hormonal imbalance or psychological factors. Please consult a doctor or endocrinologist for a thorough evaluation and treatment plan. With proper care, your libido and overall health can often be restored.

Question

Will UTI go away on its own?

Question

I'm dealing with a urinary tract infection and my test results are a bit worrying. They showed that there are many pus cells, occasional epithelial cells, and a few gram-negative bacilli. It also mentioned an E. coli colony count of 100,000ml. I'm not sure what to do next, could you guide me on the best way to treat this?

Question

I've got this painful issue that started this morning. So, I went to pee, and I sneezed at the same time without realizing it. Immediately, I felt this intense pain, like I might've stretched something in my urethra, but there's no bleeding. Now, whenever I try to pee, it really hurts at first. Oddly, if I pee slowly and let out just a little at a time, the pain isn't as bad. I'm 24, and I've never had any major health problems before. What could be going on here?
