I was trimming the hair on my testicle, and I accidentally cut my right testis, which started bleeding immediately. I used turmeric powder, and the bleeding stopped, and there's no pain now. I'm just worried if this might cause any problems later on. Could you let me know if there's anything I should watch out for or do to prevent any future issues?

While trimming hair on your testicle, you got a cut on your right testis and bleeding started immediately. You applied turmeric powder and the bleeding stopped, and there is no pain. Using turmeric powder for minor cuts can help with its antiseptic properties. However, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. If you notice any signs of infection such as increasing pain, redness, swelling, or discharge, you should seek medical attention. In this case, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Apply a small amount of Neosporin on the cut twice a day for a few days.

I've been wondering about the effects of daily masturbation over many years. I'm 28 now, could this habit be lowering my testosterone levels? Also, are there other factors or things I should be aware of that might be causing low testosterone?
Daily masturbation does not significantly impact testosterone levels in a healthy 28-year-old. However, chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, obesity, and certain medical conditions (e.g., hypogonadism) can contribute to low testosterone levels. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormone balance.

I'm dealing with an infection on my penis, and there's noticeable redness. I've already seen a dermatologist who advised me to take 500 mg of valacyclovir twice a day and use Fusidic Acid cream, but I've been on this treatment for a week now and I still don't see any improvement. Can you help me understand what kind of infection this could be and if there's anything else I should be doing? I'm getting quite concerned.
