I noticed that the back side of the top of my penis got swollen after I masturbated last night. It's kind of worrying me. What could be going on, and what should I do about this?

Could be due to irritation or inflammation. I recommend using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice a day for about a week. If the swelling does not improve or if you experience any pain, fever, or discharge, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've got this painful issue that started this morning. So, I went to pee, and I sneezed at the same time without realizing it. Immediately, I felt this intense pain, like I might've stretched something in my urethra, but there's no bleeding. Now, whenever I try to pee, it really hurts at first. Oddly, if I pee slowly and let out just a little at a time, the pain isn't as bad. I'm 24, and I've never had any major health problems before. What could be going on here?
The sudden pain while urinating, especially after sneezing, may indicate a possible urethral strain or irritation. Since you're experiencing pain while peeing, especially at the beginning, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. Possible Causes 1. Urethral strain or irritation 2. Urinary tract infection (UTI) 3. Urethral spasms 4. Pelvic floor muscle strain Next Steps 1. Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a urologist. 2. Provide detailed information about your symptoms, including the sneezing incident. 3. Get a physical examination and possibly some diagnostic tests (e.g., urinalysis, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions. In the meantime: 1. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. 2. Avoid spicy or acidic foods that might irritate your urethra. 3. Urinate when you feel the need, rather than holding it in.

I'm really struggling with erectile dysfunction and it's starting to ruin my marriage. It wasn't such a big deal at first, but it just hasn't gone away. We've been married for four years now and it's gotten to the point where we don't even have any intimacy anymore because of this. What should I do? Can you help?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be emotionally challenging, especially in a marital context; consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist to address underlying causes, which may include physical factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), psychological factors (e.g., anxiety, depression), or lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, obesity); counseling and therapy can also help you and your partner reconnect and strengthen your relationship.
