I'm dealing with an infection on my penis, and there's noticeable redness. I've already seen a dermatologist who advised me to take 500 mg of valacyclovir twice a day and use Fusidic Acid cream, but I've been on this treatment for a week now and I still don't see any improvement. Can you help me understand what kind of infection this could be and if there's anything else I should be doing? I'm getting quite concerned.

View allI'm having issues with both urination and ejaculation. My urine flow and the speed of ejaculation seem to be slower than usual, and I think this might be affecting our chances of conceiving.

My penis has been bleeding when I pee, and I'm really worried. About ten days ago, I had really intense sex twice, and there was bleeding on that day, February 10th. The bleeding stopped that day, but after that, I just felt a lot of pain in my penis. Then yesterday, out of nowhere, there was bleeding again, especially at the end when I was trying to urinate, and it was super painful. I couldnt handle it at all. I'm really stressed out about what's going on. Could you suggest what I should do?
The bleeding and pain during urination, especially after intense sexual activity, may indicate a urethral injury, urethritis, or a sexually transmitted infection (STI); immediately seek medical attention from a urologist or a healthcare provider to rule out any serious conditions; in the meantime, drink plenty of water, avoid sex, and apply a warm compress to the affected area to alleviate discomfort; delaying medical attention can lead to further complications, so prioritize your health and seek help as soon as possible.

My foreskin pulls back fine when soft but doesn't go all the way down when I'm erect. A urologist recommended frenuloplasty but I'm wondering if this can get better without surgery. Is there any way to fix this naturally over time?
It's possible your foreskin tightness could improve without surgery, particularly if it's a mild case or if you're young. Gentle daily retraction exercises, along with topical steroid creams, can sometimes help loosen the foreskin and improve its ability to retract, especially when you're erect. However, if these non-surgical methods don't work, frenuloplasty (surgery to release the frenulum) may be recommended
