The head of my penis is super sensitive and hurts when I touch it, especially near where the secretion comes out. There's also a vein attached to the head that makes it impossible to pull back the foreskin, so I'm scheduled for surgery. I'm wondering if there's any way to reduce the sensitivity of the penis head after the procedure

Since you're scheduled for surgery, it's good to discuss potential ways to manage sensitivity after the procedure with your doctor. Here's some general information that might be helpful:

I'm a bit concerned because I had intercourse with my wife around 5 pm, and when we tried again at 8 pm, I noticed that I didn't ejaculate. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's got me worried. Could there be a reason or an issue I should be aware of?

It is not uncommon for some men to experience delayed ejaculation, where there is a delay or difficulty in ejaculating. This can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. It is important to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to this problem. If this issue persists, you may consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my brother. He was told he has a positive semen culture for enterococcus faecalis, and now his urologist prescribed two daily injections of mikacin 500 mg for 5 days and a daily tablet of forcan 150. I'm just wondering, is it normal to need so many injections for this type of infection? And is mikacin the right antibiotic for enterococcus faecalis?
