I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed my foreskin feels rough after some intense sexual activity over the past few days. There's also slight redness and what looks like a bruise on the back of the foreskin. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to help it heal?

The rough penis foreskin and slight rednessbruise after rough sexual activity may indicate friction burns, irritation, or minor trauma; apply topical antibiotic ointment, take warm baths, and avoid further irritation or sexual activity for a few days to allow healing; if symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by increased redness, swelling, or discharge, consult a urologis

My father has grade 1 prostate enlargement at 56cc and is currently on medications like martifur, tamsulosin hydrochloride, solicept, and b complex. He's very weak and using a catheter to pass urine, so surgery isn't an option for him right now. Can grade 1 prostate be cured with just medications, or is surgery the only way? His health is fragile, and we're really hoping medicine alone can help. What would you suggest?

Grade‚ÄØ1 prostate enlargement in frail patients may be managed with alpha-blockers and 5‚Äëalpha-reductase inhibitors.Long‚Äëterm catheter vs surgery depends on symptoms and health.

I've noticed there's blood in my semen and it's got me a bit worried. I did a urine culture, semen analysis, and semen culture; everything came back negative except they found pus cells between 20 to 25 in the semen analysis. Is this something I should be concerned about, like an infection, or is it something normal?

Pus cells found in semen analysis indicate the presence of infection. To treat this infection, you can take antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
