View allI've been having this burning sensation when I pee, mostly in the mornings. It's way worse if I've had alcohol the night before. I've had my urine checked a couple of times, and there was a small infection. But if it's an infection, why isn't it going away? Its been nearly a year now. What could be going on with me?
Pregnancy Despite "Safe Days"_ 1. _Ovulation variability_: Ovulation can occur at different times each month, making it difficult to predict exact "safe days." 2. _Sperm longevity_: Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, increasing the chances of fertilization. 3. _Fertilization window_: The fertilization window can last up to 24 hours after ovulation. _Sylate (Contraceptive Pill) and Pregnancy_ 1. _Single pill omission_: Missing a single pill, even if it's the only one, can increase the risk of pregnancy. 2. _Hormonal imbalance_: The contraceptive pill works by regulating hormones. Missing a pill can disrupt this balance. _Next Steps_ 1. _Confirm pregnancy_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy. 2. _Prenatal care_: Begin prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy. 3. _Discuss birth control options_: Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control options for future use.

I've recently noticed I have phimosis where my foreskin only retracts about half an inch when erect and it's a bit painful if I try to go further. When soft, it retracts a little more without pain but I'm too nervous to push it. I've read about treatments like steroid creams, stretching devices, and surgery but I'm not sure what's actually effective. What's the best non-surgical option for me?
This is known as paraphimosis and it's a medical emergency. Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended

I'm having an issue where I get an erection after some stimulation, but it only stays hard for less than a minute. I'm generally healthy, without any blood pressure or diabetes concerns, so Im wondering if using Vigore jelly from German Remedies could help with this problem?
It sounds like you're experiencing difficulty maintaining an erection after stimulation. While Vigore Jelly may help improve blood flow, it's important to consult a doctor before using it, as they can assess any underlying causes and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key, but a professional evaluation will provide the best guidance.
