How do you diagnose erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's mostly based on history of symptoms such as trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection and reduced sexual desire. Tests are done to know the presence of any organic causes.

View allI'm dealing with a really uncomfortable situation here. An ant bit me on the penis, and now it's all swollen. What should I do or use for this?
It seems like the swelling is due to an allergic reaction to the ant bite. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and use a mild hydrocortisone cream or an antihistamine cream like calamine lotion to soothe the area. If the swelling worsens or you experience severe discomfort, consult a doctor.

I was diagnosed with a 5 mm stone in my urinary bladder about a week ago, and my doctor told me to take veltam 0.4. The stone passed the very next day, and now, five days later, the ultrasound showed no signs of any abnormality or stone. I can't seem to reach my doctor at the moment, so I'm wondering if it's okay for me to stop taking the medicine now. What do you think?
As the size of the stone is large thats the appropriate procedure,follow your doctors advice

I've been experiencing something really concerning and I'm not sure what to do. About a month ago, after masturbating, I noticed blood in my urine for a day, but then it cleared up, so I stopped masturbating for about 23 days because I was scared. When I started again, there wasn't any blood at first. But then on March 11th, the bleeding happened again after I masturbated, and this time I also felt pain in my penis. It went away after a day, but then came back after a few days. I'm worried about why this is happening and what it could mean. Can you give me some advice?
It sounds like you may have experienced some irritation or injury to the urinary tract or reproductive organs during masturbation, which can occasionally cause blood in the urine. However, recurring blood in urine, especially with pain, should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out conditions like infections, stones, or other underlying issues. Please consider seeking a consultation with a urologist for a proper diagnosis and peace of mind.
