I'm having a bit of an issue and I'm really concerned. During intercourse, I noticed that the foreskin on my penis gets cut at the lower inner joint. It bleeds quite a lot when it happens, although it does stop eventually. This has been worrying me since it first happened about 34 days ago. The cut is still open and in the process of healing. I'm also diabetic, which I know might make things a bit more complicated. Is this something serious? Should I be considering seeing a doctor about this?

It's important to get the cut checked by a doctor, especially with diabetes, as healing can be slower, and there's a risk of infection. If it's not healing properly or if you experience pain, swelling, or redness, please consult a healthcare professional for proper care.

View allI'm experiencing a ticklish sensation in my penis for the last four days after masturbating. I've been drinking a lot of water and peeing frequently, which gives me temporary relief. But during the end of urination, I feel this strange sensation in my lower abdomen, though nothing actually hurts. I'm sure it can't be an STD since I'm a virgin. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
This could be a sign of urinary tract irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking a course of an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the discomfort and burning sensation during urination. Additionally, you may also consider taking a medication like Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) to help reduce any inflammation in the urinary tract. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
