Post-circumcision healing takes 4–6 weeks; intimacy is usually safe after 4 weeks if there's no pain or bleeding.

My father has been diagnosed with a lump in his urinary bladder and there's blood in his urine. The doctors say it's not serious and can be removed with surgery, but I'm still worried. Is this really something that can be fixed easily? What should we expect during recovery?

I'm wondering if having a habit of daily masturbation is good or bad for me. How do I control or stop it if it's not a healthy practice? Are there any harms associated with it?

Daily masturbation can be a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive or compulsive masturbation can lead to negative effects such as fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, guilt, shame, and neglect of responsibilities; to control or stop, try setting boundaries, practicing self-control, engaging in alternative activities, and seeking professional help if needed.

My dad's been prescribed Cifran 500 mg twice a day for 10 days because he's dealing with a urine infection and prostate issues. He's been getting this faint stomach ache every time he takes it, which I read might be a side effect of Cifran. It's making him uncomfortable, especially when he's trying to sleep. What should we do about this?

Cifran was prescribed based on experience of the Doctor or it was based on urine culture and sensitivity. You may ask your doctor to change the antibiotics if he can. Minimal stomach ache will be there with 99% antibiotics
