I'm dealing with this phimosis situation, and Im not sure what the best ways to address it are. Things feel pretty tight down there, and I'm a bit concerned about it.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Phimosis can be managed with various treatments; possible solutions include topical steroid creams or ointments to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin, manual stretching exercises under medical guidance, preputioplasty (a surgical procedure to widen the foreskin), or circumcision (a surgical procedure to remove the foreskin); consult a urologist or a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment.

I've noticed that the veins below my testicles seem more pronounced recently, but there's no pain, and the size of my testicles seems normal. When I touch them, they feel a bit like rubber. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Can you help me figure out what might be the issue?
The symptoms you're describing, such as increased visibility of veins on the testicles, a rubbery texture, and no pain, can be caused by several factors. Possible Causes 1. Varicocele: A condition where the veins within the scrotum become enlarged, which can cause a rubbery texture. 2. Hydrocele: A fluid-filled sac that can cause the testicle to feel swollen or rubbery. 3. Spermatocele: A benign cyst that can cause a rubbery texture on the testicle. 4. Epididymal cysts: Benign growths that can cause a rubbery texture on the testicle. Recommended Course of Action 1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with a urologist or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. Physical examination: A doctor will perform a physical examination to assess the texture and size of your testicles.

My dad's been prescribed Cifran 500 mg twice a day for 10 days because he's dealing with a urine infection and prostate issues. He's been getting this faint stomach ache every time he takes it, which I read might be a side effect of Cifran. It's making him uncomfortable, especially when he's trying to sleep. What should we do about this?
Cifran was prescribed based on experience of the Doctor or it was based on urine culture and sensitivity. You may ask your doctor to change the antibiotics if he can. Minimal stomach ache will be there with 99% antibiotics
