I'm a 21-year-old male and I've been having recurring UTIs. I had one back in January, where my abdomen scan was normal but the urine culture showed E. coli. My doctor prescribed Nitrofurantoin for 14 days along with Citralka and Meftalspas. Then in May, I got another UTI. Again, my abdomen scan was normal but E. coli showed up in the culture. This time, I was given 14 Amikacin 500 injections for a week plus Citralka. I felt fine for about 15 days, but now I'm experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I'm really concerned and don't know what to do next. Can you help?

I noticed a small pea-sized cyst on my scrotum and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a urologist or a general surgeon to get it checked out? Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat it?

See a urologist first. If it‚Äôs an epidermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst, surgery is the cure. If inflamed, antibiotics may help first.

I'm having some trouble with my penis not being fully erect during sex, but it's not an issue at other times. Do you have any advice on how to improve stamina in bed?

It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction during sex. To increase stamina during sex, you can try using a medication called Viagra (Sildenafil) taken 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and maintain an erection. Additionally, practicing pelvic floor exercises, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, and managing stress can also help improve stamina during sex.

I've been feeling this burning sensation inside the skin of my penis after masturbating, and it's kind of worrying me. Plus, after a while, there's this white substance that appears when I move the skin, and honestly, it's pretty uncomfortable and making it hard for me to masturbate. What could this be, and should I be concerned about it?

it might be some fungal infection,keep that area clean. Avoid moisture in that area
