I had a circumcision surgery about three weeks ago and just had an erection with ejaculation. Is this harmful or could it increase my risk of HIV or STDs? Should I be worried about this happening?

Erection post-circumcision isn’t harmful if healing is complete—monitor for pain or bleeding.

View allI'm really confused about my recent urine test results. It seems like every time I get tested, the RBC count comes back as 23 HPF with a weak reaction. I also had a KUB CT Scan and Ultra sound, plus urine Cytology and a PSA Blood test, and all those were normal. Out of 67 urine routine tests, two of them showed 56 RBC. The CT scan did show a 2mm renal calculus below my left kidney. Since everything else is normal, I'm having trouble understanding why there's still blood in my urine. Is this something I should be worried about, and do you think getting a Cystoscopy is necessary to figure out what's going on?
yes

I'm really worried because my urine culture test showed an E. coli count of 80,000, and it's been like this for a while now. My urologist prescribed antibiotics a few months back, and after taking them for two weeks, the count went up when I stopped. The medicine was switched, but now Im seeing E. coli again. I got an ultrasound KUB which turned out normal and did semen cultures as well, which showed another infection. Even after another round of antibiotics, the infection was still there. Ive been experiencing sharp abdominal pain and sometimes in the rectum, with my urine smelling bad. Why do I keep getting these recurring infections in both my urine and semen cultures? What could be causing this, and what tests should I consider doing next?
It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent E. coli infection that may not have fully cleared despite antibiotics. Chronic or recurrent infections can be due to incomplete treatment, an underlying issue like a urinary tract abnormality, or antibiotic resistance. It's important to consider a urine culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing, possibly imaging studies beyond ultrasound (like CT or MRI), and reviewing the semen culture results to address any underlying causes. A urologist or infectious disease specialist could help explore further options.

How long does a urinary tract infection take to show up?
The incubation period (time of exposure to time symptoms begin) varies with the microbe. In general, common urinary tract infections with colonizing bacteria, like E. coli, varies from about three to eight days.
