I'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.

View allI've recently noticed I have phimosis where my foreskin only retracts about half an inch when erect and it's a bit painful if I try to go further. When soft, it retracts a little more without pain but I'm too nervous to push it. I've read about treatments like steroid creams, stretching devices, and surgery but I'm not sure what's actually effective. What's the best non-surgical option for me?
This is known as paraphimosis and it's a medical emergency. 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

I've got a small cut on my foreskin that bled when it first happened and was painful. It doesn't bleed anymore, but sometimes I still feel pain, and it hasn't healed yet. What's going on, and should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may have a small cut on your foreskin that is taking some time to heal. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Polysporin on the cut twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and try to avoid any activities that may irritate the cut further. If the cut does not show signs of improvement or if the pain persists, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

My dad is 63 and has had an enlarged prostate for 10 years, currently on allopathy meds. Lately, he's struggling to start urinating his prostate volume is 21 cc. Is surgery necessary or can Ayurveda help manage this? How effective is Himalaya Himplasia for his condition, and what other Ayurvedic treatments could work?
CONSULT BAMS FOR THAT.
