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'm wondering if masturbating 5 to 6 times a month could be bad for my health. Does it have any effect on my bodybuilding efforts or my sperm count? Could it possibly lead to major issues later on? I'm really curious about whether this is healthy or if I need to change anything.

I've been diagnosed with mild right-sided hydronephrosis and a 3.4x2.7 mm left kidney stone with 150 HU. There's also mild right-sided perinephric fat stranding and peripelvic fluid, plus delayed contrast excretion on the right side. My right ureter is dilated with a 400 HU, 53 mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is this something that can be treated without surgery, or is surgery the only option? Really worried and need advice fast.

I'm looking at my semen analysis report and I'm a bit concerned about the results. It says my progressive motile sperm count is 30, non-progressive motile count is 25, and in total, the motile sperm count is 45. I'm wondering if these numbers are okay when trying to have a baby with my wife, or if I should be consulting a doctor to work on increasing that progressive motile count. Is a count of 30 generally good enough for us to conceive, or is there something I should be doing?
WHO standards place desired progressive motility count at 32%. Overall motility at 40%. It may be advisable to visit a sexual health consultant and obtain a more detailed treatment plan.
