Blood in urine, known as hematuria, can be concerning, especially for a 50-year-old male. While not always an emergency, it should not be ignored.

Seek prompt medical evaluation: Causes can include infections, kidney stones, or more serious conditions like cancer.
-
Emergency signs: Immediate care is needed if accompanied by severe pain, difficulty urinating, fever, dizziness, or heavy bleeding.

When to see a doctor: Even mild or intermittent symptoms require evaluation to ensure proper treatment.
In summary, timely medical assessment is crucial to rule out serious conditions and ensure appropriate care.

View allI'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been wondering about something that's been on my mind. I tend to masturbate almost daily, sometimes up to three times a day, or at least once. Also, I've been having sex with my girlfriend, maybe around 32 times. I'm curious to know if this might have any impact on my health now or in the future. Does what I'm doing pose any risks?
Masturbating 1-3 times a day and having sex with your girlfriend 2-3 times a week is generally considered a normal and healthy frequency for a 21-year-old male; however, it's essential to maintain a balance, as excessive masturbation or sexual activity can lead to fatigue, decreased libido, or relationship issues, so prioritize communication with your partner, practice safe sex, and focus on overall physical and mental well-being.

I've been experiencing some troubling symptoms after I masturbate. My penis starts hurting, and it feels like I need to pee, but nothing happens when I try. Lately, I've noticed my endurance during masturbation has gone down too. I end up feeling weak and sore all over the next day. A few days ago, I even felt a burning sensation under the skin of my penis. I'm really worried and not sure what's going on. Can you help?
These symptoms may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation. I recommend you take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should apply a topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin on the burned area of your penis to prevent infection. It is important to drink plenty of water to help with urination and flush out any potential infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Had circumcision surgery 8 days ago but there's still swelling and a ring-like appearance. When will the swelling go down and when can I expect it to look normal? Also is it okay to take regular baths now? I've attached a pic for reference
surgery opinion is advised.
