I'm dealing with epididymitis that I found out about a month ago. I started antibiotics back then and the swelling went down a bit. Then my doctor switched me to a milder antibiotic, but after a week, the swelling didn't go away and actually got worse, turning into a hydrocele. So my doctor put me back on the old antibiotics. I've got a bunch of questions on my mind. Is epididymitis something that can actually be cured? And if so, how long should I expect it to take? What kind of care should I be taking, like should I change my diet or exercise routine? Is jogging, running, or hitting the gym something I can do? Are there specific foods or activities I need to steer clear of? Could this condition affect my sexual or married life? What precautions should I be taking? How about personal care, any specific things I need to focus on? Also, my doctor prescribed tablets that cost 100 Rs each; do antibiotics really cost that much?

View allI'm worried about my sperm discharging too quickly and having a low sperm count. After releasing, I often feel really weak. Can you give me some advice on what might help with this?
it seems you have a side effects of excessive masturbation... Let me brief you.. Masturbation is a natural phenomenon. All men do this but as a natural principle excess of everything is always bad, so you must try to control it. Don't do it more than once or twice in a month. Don't worry you can do that... just do not watch porn Try not to be remain alone, don't read or view sexual literature, books, whatsApp & porn videos etc. Avoid oily, more spicy, Chilly and junk foods. Do exercise daily for one hr or yoga mainly Pranayam Meditation vajroli Mudra... Ashwini mudra. Start reading religious books. Please note that now a days the main drawback and side effect of the masturbation is once you are addicted to masturbation mostly and always by watching porn where you get different type of stories... relations... girls body... and styles... etc. Once u got married u don't get all those things with wife so u don't get aroused and you don't get proper erection. Now a day's mostly patients comes to us with the complaint that they are not able to get erection with wife in the bed but they are getting erection in the bathroom while masturbation. This is creating a lot of problem in their married life so my advice is to control it. If u are not able to do so then you must consult your family doctor, many times it's not possible to control without the help of your doctor. You can take Chandra kala ras 1 tablet morning and night after food Yastimadhu chuma 3gms morning and night with water

I'm a bit worried because the foreskin of my penis used to be attached to the tip, but now it's come down and the head is exposed. It's super sensitive to touch, and I'd really appreciate some advice on how to make it less sensitive. Also, the foreskin isn't going back to the tip. I'm not sure why this is happening, and any help on both these issues would be great.

I've been doing some research online and I think I might have balanitis. My foreskin is swollen and it's causing inflammation at the tip of the glans. Can you please help me figure out what I should do to treat this?
Balanitis can be treated with topical creams, such as clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and practicing good hygiene, including gentle cleaning with warm water and avoiding harsh soaps; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor for further evaluation and guidance.
