I'm having this issue where every time I get an erection or after having sex, my penis seems to crack at one particular spot. It heals after a few days, but then it just happens again the next time. Is there any cream or solution I could use to prevent this from happening?

The recurring cracks on your penis, particularly in one position, during or after erection, may be caused by a condition called penile fissures, which can be painful and may lead to bleeding or infection; applying a topical cream or ointment, such as petroleum jelly, aloe vera gel, or a fragrance-free lubricant, may help soothe and protect the affected area

I'm a bit worried about my recent urinalysis results. Everything seems normal except for the RBC and hemoglobin levels. A few years back, I had some issues with sand and crystals in my urine. Should I be concerned about the RBC levels? Is this harmful, or could it be related to my previous issues?

I'm newly married, and it's been over a week now that I'm struggling to connect with my wife when it comes to our sexual relationship. I think it might be due to ignorance on my part, and I'm really looking to get some advice or consultation on how to improve things. Can you help guide me on this?

It's completely normal to face challenges in communication and intimacy early in a marriage. I recommend having an open and honest conversation with your wife to understand each other's needs, comfort levels, and concerns. Seeking guidance from a professional counselor or therapist can also be helpful in improving coordination and building a healthy, respectful relationship.
