I'm dealing with herpes and it's started to spread on my back. I'm concerned about how to keep it from spreading even more. Is it safe to wash the affected area with normal water, or should I be doing something else to care for it properly?

I'm using Tricho 5 and Evogard EC for my hair fall like my doctor suggested. Should I be worried about any side effects?

Both Tricho 5 and Evogard EC have potential side effects, but not everyone will experience them. If you're concerned about the side effects or experience any unusual symptoms, its best to contact your doctor to evaluate whether these treatments are appropriate for you or if any adjustments are necessary.

I recently had stents placed in both my ureters and they were there for a week after my RIRS procedure. After the stents were removed, I tried to masturbate after a couple of days because I felt the urge, but I ended up having this weird experience where it felt like sperm was coming out but nothing actually did; it was just dry. Should I be worried about this or is it something that can happen?

After stent removal, it's normal to experience temporary changes in ejaculation, and the "dry" sensation could be due to inflammation, scarring, or residual swelling, so consult your urologist to rule out any complications or blockages
