I'm from Dibrugarh and think I might have a short frenulum. I can retract my foreskin but it doesn't feel quite normal. Sex isn't painful or anything, but after reading up online, I'm wondering if frenuloplasty could make things more comfortable. Should I consider surgery or is it fine as long as it's not causing issues?

View allWhat's the best way to treat balanitis? I've been dealing with these scars on my foreskin that keep coming back every few days. I started using a fungal cream that my doctor recommended, but it's been about 15 days and I'm not seeing an improvement. What should I do?
Varicocele can be uncomfortable. _Masturbation and varicocele:_ Masturbation is unlikely to worsen varicocele directly. However, frequent or vigorous masturbation can increase blood flow to the genital area, potentially exacerbating varicocele discomfort. _Safe interval for masturbation:_ There's no specific recommended interval for masturbation in relation to varicocele. However, consider the following: 1. _Listen to your body_: If you experience increased discomfort or pain after masturbation, consider reducing the frequency or intensity. 2. _Moderation is key_: Masturbating 1-2 times a week is unlikely to have a significant impact on varicocele. 3. _Focus on overall health_: Prioritize a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, to help alleviate varicocele symptoms. _Varicocele management:_ 1. _Consult a urologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options with a urologist. 2. _Lifestyle modifications_: Make changes to your daily routine, such as wearing supportive underwear, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing stress. 3. _Surgery or embolization_: In some cases, surgery or embolization may be necessary to treat varicocele. Remember to consult a urologist for personalized advice on managing your varicocele.

I've done a semen culture, and they found klebsiella pneumoniae ssp pneumoniae. My doctor is saying I should take gentamicin 80mg, but I've read online about a bunch of side effects. I'm worried and not sure if I should go ahead with this injection. Can you give me some advice?
Gentamicin is a suitable treatment option for Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, considering its broad-spectrum antibiotic properties.
