I'm a 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.

Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.

I'm dealing with an Escherichia coli UTI, and my weight is 58 kg. The lab report says Chloramphenicol could be effective. Could you guide me on the appropriate dosage for the 500mg capsules? I'm a bit concerned about getting it right.

Chloramphenicol is commonly used to treat Escherichia coli UTIs. The recommended dosage for adults is usually 500 mg every 6 hours. Since your weight is 58 kg, the appropriate dosage for you would be 500 mg every 6 hours. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is completely eradicated.

Had circumcision surgery 8 days ago but there's still swelling and a ring-like appearance. When will the swelling go down and when can I expect it to look normal? Also is it okay to take regular baths now? I've attached a pic for reference

surgery opinion is advised.
