I have a slightly thick frenulum and want to get it removed it seems like a minor surgery. During intercourse, the pain makes me lose my erection a bit, though using a condom helps. Which type of doctor should I see for this, how much does it usually cost, and are there any risks involved?

View allI'm having this issue where it's really itchy inside my penis, and it's happening pretty often. I'm married, so I'm not sure what it might be. Should I see a doctor? And if I do, what exactly should I tell them about what's going on? Any ideas on what could help with this would be great.
Yes, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the cause of the itching inside your penis, which could be due to a fungal or bacterial infection, allergy, or skin condition; be honest with your doctor, sharing details about the itching, such as when it started, frequency, and any other symptoms like discharge, redness, or pain; your doctor may perform a physical examination, take a sample for testing, and prescribe treatment, which could include antifungal or antibacterial medications, creams, or ointments.

Is it normal to have no bacteria present if there's a history of urine infections? I've had kidney stones last year and have had urine infections 2 or 3 times. Should I be worried or is this within the normal range?
Based on your history of recurrent urine infections and a kidney stone last year, it is important to monitor your urine parameters closely. A normal urine test should not show any bacteria present. To prevent further infections, you can consider taking cranberry supplements or D-mannose powder to help maintain urinary tract health. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about prescribing you with a low-dose antibiotic such as Nitrofurantoin to take after intercourse or as a prophylactic treatment. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney health and prevent future complications.

For the past three years, I've been feeling discomfort in my urinary passage, and over the last year, it's gotten worse. My urine flow has become narrow, especially during ejaculation sometimes it doesn't even come out freely. There's no pain or infection, but doctors did an RGU test and diagnosed it as urethral stricture, recommending surgery. I heard Ayurveda has a treatment called Uttarbasti could this help my condition? If so, can you suggest a good Ayurveda doctor?
Ayurvedic Uttarbasti may support urethral health,but urethral stricture often requires dilatation or urethroplasty.Surgeon input is essential.
