I had a boil on my penile shaft and I popped it, but I'm still feeling pain there. Now there's also another pain that started just above the penis on the right side near the bladder area. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on?

After popping a boil on your penile shaft, persistent pain, along with new pain near the urinary bladder area, may indicate a potential infection, abscess, or inflammation of the surrounding tissues; it's essential to consult a urologist or a dermatologist promptly to assess the situation, as untreated infections can lead to more severe complications, such as cellulitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis; expect a physical examination, potentially followed by diagnostic tests like urine analysis, ultrasound, or imaging studies to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

I'm having some trouble during intercourse. My penis seems to bend, and even though I manage to put it into my wife's vagina initially, it suddenly slips out and prevents us from continuing. Can you advise on what might be causing this and how to fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some difficulty with penile rigidity or positioning during intercourse, which could be caused by factors such as erectile issues or anatomical concerns. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a urologist, to discuss your symptoms in detail and determine the appropriate treatment or advice tailored to your situation.

I've recently been diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone and a cyst in my testicle. Ever since I started taking Himalaya Cystone and homeopathic Berberis Vulgaris for them, I've been having some issues with erections. Is that normal? Should I be worried about these side effects?

Erectile issues are not typically caused by medications like **Himalaya Cystone** or **Berberis Vulgaris**, but stress or anxiety related to your kidney stone and testicular cyst diagnosis might contribute. If this persists, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying hormonal or vascular causes.
