Every time I have sex with my wife, I end up with cuts on my foreskin. It's the same problem after I masturbate too. It's really painful, and the itching while they heal is driving me crazy. Could you recommend a cream or ointment that'll help with this?

You may be experiencing some irritation or friction during sexual activity leading to cuts on your foreskin. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the cuts twice a day after gently cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can also use a soothing cream like Aloe Vera gel to help with the healing process and reduce itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

View allI've been feeling some mild pain in my lower abdomen, around the groin area, and just above my penis. The weird thing is, it seems to ease up when I pass gas and there's just a lot of gas happening. I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with renal stones a couple of months ago. Could this be related to those stones, or is it something else?

I'm really worried because I've been having these pus cells in my urine and dealing with body aches, fever, and feeling really dehydrated. It's been burning when I pass urine too, which is super uncomfortable. I already tried some allopathic medicine, but it didn't help at all. Can you tell me what might be going on and what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause the symptoms you're describing, such as fever, body pain, dehydration, and burning during urination. Since the alopathic medication hasn't provided relief, I recommend revisiting your doctor for further evaluation and possibly a different treatment approach or additional tests to address the infection effectively.
