  1. Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to latex, causing itching or irritation. Consider non-latex options if this occurs.

  2. Discomfort or Reduced Sensation: Condoms might cause slight discomfort or reduced sensitivity during intercourse.

  3. Breakage or Slipping: Improper use can lead to breakage or slipping, increasing risks of pregnancy or infections.

  4. Psychological Effects: Anxiety or distraction may occur, affecting the sexual experience.

If persistent irritation or discomfort occurs, consult a healthcare professional. Proper use enhances effectiveness and minimizes side effects.

I've been dealing with prostate swelling that causes pain when I pee and during sex. My urologist prescribed GeripodD tablets but the issue keeps coming back frequently.

Is there any way to treat this without surgery or maybe through laparoscopic methods?
