I'm a 30-year-old guy, and my family doctor recently mentioned HIMCOLIN GEL to me because I sometimes struggle to keep an erection during sex. I'm wondering how regularly I can use it without any issues. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Himcolin gel can be applied about 30 minutes before intercourse as needed, but avoid using it more than once daily. It is generally safe, but some may experience mild skin irritation or burning. If discomfort persists or worsens, stop use and consult your doctor.

Can surgery for an enlarged prostate or prostatitis increase the risk of prostate cancer later on I'm 58 with a PSA of 18.9 and worried about this possibility

No, surgery for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or prostatitis generally does not increase the risk of prostate cancer later on. However, there are other factors that can affect PSA levels and potentially lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer after treatment for BPH or prostatitis.

I'm 26 and dealing with premature ejaculation, and sometimes I feel like I might have ED too. I saw an online homeopathic doctor before who prescribed Damia Plant 20 drops, three times daily, Acidphos 200 10 drops in the morning, and Lycopodium 200 10 drops in the evening. I've been on this for about a month and a half, but I'm not noticing much change. Can you give me some guidance on what I should do next?

It seems like the current homeopathic treatment you are taking for premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction is not showing significant improvement. In such cases, you may consider trying allopathic medications like Dapoxetine (Priligy) for premature ejaculation and Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) for erectile dysfunction. Consult a urologist for dosage and prescription.
