I recently had protected vaginal sex with a prostitute, and I'm wondering if there's any risk of contracting an STI even though I used a condom the entire time. Are there specific tests you'd recommend I take?

View allI have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side and I'm a bit worried. What are the best remedies for this? Are there any Ayurvedic medicines that can help or is surgery the only option? Also, does doing yoga make any difference in managing this condition?
For a Grade 1 varicocele, surgery is generally not the first line of treatment, but it is the most effective long-term option if symptoms worsen. While surgery is often considered the definitive treatment, there are various other approaches that can help manage the condition, including Ayurvedic medicines and yoga, along with lifestyle modifications.

I'm really concerned because about an hour ago, I masturbated in the washroom and afterwards noticed the head of my penis turned a yellowish color. I'm worried about what this color change could mean. Is this something serious? What steps should I take to address this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
A temporary yellowish discoloration of the penis head after masturbation is likely due to irritation, friction, or minor trauma, and may be accompanied by swelling or redness; apply a cold compress, maintain good hygiene, and avoid further irritation; if the discoloration persists, is severe, or accompanied by discharge, pain, or difficulty urinating, consult a urologist

I'm a 20-year-old female and I've been having this issue where I need to pee every 45 minutes or so, and I really can't control it. It even kind of burns when I go. I feel like I'm constantly heading to the restroom and it's messing up my ability to get anything done. I thought maybe if I stopped drinking so much water it would help, but it hasn't made a difference at all. What could be going on, and what should I do?
Your symptoms suggest a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or overactive bladder; consult a gynecologist or urologist immediately for a proper diagnosis and treatment, and in the meantime, drink plenty of water to help flush out bacteria, avoid spicy or acidic foods, and consider keeping a bladder diary to track your symptoms and identify potential trigger
