I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.

Question

I had a boil on my penile shaft and I popped it, but I'm still feeling pain there. Now there's also another pain that started just above the penis on the right side near the bladder area. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on?

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried because my doctor at Medanta Gurgaon mentioned that I might need frenuloplasty surgery. Are there any other options or alternatives to this procedure? I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some guidance.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Niftas 100 mg tablets for her urinary tract infection, and even though she doesn't have any pain in her abdomen, the pain still hasn't gone away after finishing the medicine. Her doctor told her to keep taking the tablets for another two months, but every time she takes them, she gets a really bad fever. Does this sound like a normal side effect of the medicine? And is there more we can do besides drinking 3 liters of water every day like the doctor suggested? Any advice would be great because we're a bit confused about what's happening.
