Question 1

I'm worried because my mom was scratched by a cat's nails. Luckily, there was no bleeding, but now I'm wondering if it's safe for her to continue breastfeeding the baby. Could this be risky for the baby in any way?

Question 2

My 26-month-old son's penis head balloons when he pees but urine flows continuously without breaks. The ballooning only lasts about 10 seconds while he's urinating. He doesn't seem to be in pain or straining. Our pediatrician suggested circumcision, but due to our religious beliefs, our family is against it. We're really worried the doctor also mentioned trying to gently pull back the foreskin with oil or becnovet cream. My wife and I are stressed, especially since I had tight foreskin too as a teen and remember how uncomfortable it was. Is this ballooning a serious issue? We really want to avoid surgery if possible.

Question 3

My younger brother is 12 years and 2 months old. His friend showed him a picture of a naked girl on a phone, and when he saw it, he suddenly had an orgasm and ejaculation without even touching his penis. This was his first time ever experiencing this, and he hasn't tried masturbating before. Is this a normal reaction?
