I'm feeling a bit concerned because all of a sudden my foreskin has gotten really tight. Could this be some kind of infection? It's started to hurt after I get an erection, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Do you think this is something I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight and difficult to retract. This can be due to inflammation or infection. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone 0.05% twice a day on the tight area for 4-6 weeks. If the symptoms persist, circumcision may be necessary to relieve the tightness and pain.

View allI'm really confused and concerned about my semen analysis results from a couple of days ago. The report showed a count of 8 million per ml and motility at 45%. This morning, I tried a home test by adding semen to water, and I noticed that about 90% of it sank. Could you explain what it means when semen sinks or floats? I'm really curious and worried.
Thank you for your query. Typically, semen that sinks in water may indicate lower sperm motility or vitality, as healthy sperm are more likely to float. However, it's important to consider that a home test may not provide an accurate representation of sperm health. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider for further analysis and guidance.

I've been diagnosed with a 10mm ureteral stone stuck at the EVJ and the pain is really bad. My family has a history of uric acid stones, so chances are this is one too. Can homeopathic medicines help me avoid surgery, or would lithotripsy be an option if they don't work? I'm worried about needing an operation.
Homeopathy to some extent works in certain patients.Medical therapy initially works , to relieve pain obstruction and control of infection .Gold standard of treatment is Shock wave lithotripsy and uretroscopy is the best approachalso ESWL(extracorporeal shock wave lithrotropsy is advised.
