I have a tight foreskin and I'm worried it might cause problems with sex later. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?

Tight foreskin causing discomfort during erection may respond to corticosteroid cream and stretching;circumcision is an option if non-surgical fails.

I'm 28 and have been struggling with severe erection issues and low sperm count for the past 3 years. I had varicocele surgery on both testicles, but for the last year, there's been no movement in them. I also find it hard to start urinating, and the flow is very slow. My parents are looking for marriage proposals, and I'm really worried about my condition. Which specialist should I see for these problems?

demat opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm experiencing this light pain in my groin area and sometimes it feels like tingling or numbness around my inner thighs and below the testicles. It's kind of like ants are running in that area. It happens randomly, but I've noticed it gets worse when I'm sitting in the office with the AC on. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Your symptoms might be related to posture, nerve compression, or muscle strain, but if they persist or worsen, it's important to seek medical advice to rule out other conditions such as hernia or neurological issues. Try adjusting your sitting habits, stretching regularly, and monitoring any changes in symptoms.

I've been really worried because a few days ago, I had unprotected sex with a girl who was on her period, and now I'm experiencing some symptoms like needing to pee urgently, frequently going in small amounts, and it burns when I do. Does this mean I might have HIV? It was only vaginal sex and I did finish a bit inside. Could you tell me what the chances are of having contracted HIV?

kindly get urine culture and sensitivity test done along with HIV
