I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and was wondering if it's okay to take Tadact 10 mg every day. How should I be taking it, or is there another medication you recommend? I don't have any other health issues.

Tadact 10 mg is a brand name for Tadalafil, which is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. You can take Tadact 10 mg as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. Alternatively, you can also consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) or Levitra (Vardenafil) as alternative medicines for ED. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm dealing with phimosis and really don't want to get surgery. Can you tell me if betamethasone cream is available at local pharmacies without a prescription? Also, which brand or type would be most effective? I'm really stressed about this and need some guidance to manage it.

Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.Yes, phimosis can often be managed without surgery. Non-surgical treatments like topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good penile hygiene can be effective, especially in children. For adults, similar treatments can be tried, and in some cases, balloon dilation might be an option

I'm constantly feeling the urge to pee and poop. It's really frustrating because when I try to pee, I have to push really hard and only a tiny bit comes out. When I poop, its incredibly painful because my anus is really swollen and inflamed. I'm stuck in the bathroom and it's becoming unbearable. What's going on with me? Can you help?

I'm dealing with some itching under the skin of my penis head, and when I wash it, I sometimes notice white smegma. Occasionally, there's even a reddish ring under the skin. I've been struggling with this for about a year and a half now. I've visited a couple of doctors and followed their prescriptions for antibiotics and creams, but it always comes back about two weeks after I finish the medication. Do you think circumcision might be a good solution to get rid of this issue once and for all? I'm really unsure about what to do next.

Yes its bettr to get circumcision done ,visit general surgeon for appropriate management
