View allI'm noticing that my sexual libido is dropping, and I think it's related to how often I masturbate. Could you suggest foods that might help boost my libido? Also, I've been feeling low on energy during sex. Any advice on what I could do to get that energy level up?
A decrease in libido and energy during sex can sometimes be linked to diet and lifestyle. To support sexual health, consider incorporating foods rich in zinc (like pumpkin seeds, spinach, and seafood), healthy fats (such as avocados and nuts), and antioxidants (like berries and dark chocolate). Also, ensure you're getting enough rest, managing stress, and staying hydrated.

I'm dealing with an Escherichia coli UTI, and my weight is 58 kg. The lab report says Chloramphenicol could be effective. Could you guide me on the appropriate dosage for the 500mg capsules? I'm a bit concerned about getting it right.
Chloramphenicol is commonly used to treat Escherichia coli UTIs. The recommended dosage for adults is usually 500 mg every 6 hours. Since your weight is 58 kg, the appropriate dosage for you would be 500 mg every 6 hours. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is completely eradicated.

I'm really concerned about this swelling in my meatus. It's a dark blue color with some red dots. I've been seeing a surgeon for a while, and initially, they prescribed ciprofloxacin and some fungal medicine, but nothing has changed. I even tried more antibiotics, but it's been two weeks and still no improvement. My urine routine, culture, and ultrasound results all came back normal. What could be going on?
Reliable HIV testing after 6 years. The 4th generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) antigen and antibody test is highly accurate. Interpretation: 1. _Non-reactive result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies or p24 antigens. 2. _6-year window period_: Well beyond the recommended 3-6 month window for HIV testing after exposure. Nasal steroids: 1. _Unlikely to cause false negatives_: Steroids are not known to interfere with HIV tests. You can be reasonably confident in your HIV-negative status. However, consider: 1. _Other STIs_: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if you haven't already. 2. _Future risks_: Continue practicing safe sex and get regular HIV tests if you're sexually active. Consult your doctor or an HIV specialist for personalized guidance and confirmation.
