I'm 94 and have been dealing with prostate issues. I've been on Urimax 0.4 mg at night for about a year. Since starting it, I've noticed that I end up needing to pee more often during the night, which means I can't really get a good night's sleep. Do you think it would be okay if I switched to taking Urimax during the day instead? I'm really hoping for a way to sleep better.

You can consult your doctor about taking Urimax (Tamsulosin) 0.4mg in the morning instead of nighttime to minimize nocturia (frequent urination at night) and improve sleep quality; however, it's essential to discuss this change with your doctor, as they may need to monitor your prostate symptoms and adjust your treatment plan accordingly to ensure optimal management of your benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

View allI noticed something strange today while I was using the bathroom. There was a red thread-like thing in my urine, and I've never seen anything like it before. I don't have any pain, itching, or other problems, but it's got me a bit concerned. Any idea what this could be?
The red thread-like shape in your urine could be a blood clot, a urinary cast, or a thread-like piece of tissue; given the absence of pain, itching, or other symptoms, it's likely a harmless anomaly, but to rule out any underlying conditions, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or bladder issues, consult a urologist

I'm newly married, just about two weeks ago, and I've been having some issues when trying to have intercourse. My erection doesn't seem to last. When my penis gets hard and I attempt to enter the vagina, it suddenly loses the erection. Even if I do manage to get it up again, the same thing keeps happening. It's really depressing and making me anxious. Do you think this is a permanent issue? Also, my penis is around 11 centimeters longis that adequate for sex? Is there a cure for these erection problems, or is there something I should be doing differently?
it will be cure

I'm keeping my foreskin pulled back all the time, so the head of my penis is always exposed. I'm curious if there's any harm in doing this or if it's better to keep it covered. I don't have any problems with my foreskin, but I want my penis to have that circumcised look. Could you let me know if there's any downside to this?
Keeping the foreskin retracted permanently is generally not harmful if you maintain proper hygiene to prevent dryness, irritation, or infections. However, the foreskin naturally protects the glans, so keeping it covered when not needed is advisable. If you prefer a circumcised appearance, you may consult a doctor to discuss safe options.
