I'm having some discomfort during intercourse because my frenulum feels really tight and it hurts when my foreskin stretches. Is there any way to loosen the frenulum? Would love some advice on this.

You may be experiencing frenulum breve, which is a condition where the frenulum (the band of tissue connecting the foreskin to the underside of the penis) is tight and causes pain during erection. One option to help loosen the frenulum is by using a topical steroid cream, such as Betamethasone cream. You can apply a small amount of Betamethasone cream to the tight frenulum twice a day for several weeks to help loosen it. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment.

Hey, so I recently found out I have Epididymo Orchitis after visiting the doctor because my right testicle was really swollen.

Swelling from epididymo-orchitis usually begins to improve within a few days of starting antibiotics, but it can take **2-4 weeks** for the swelling to completely resolve. Rest, scrotal support, and anti-inflammatory medications can help speed up recovery. If swelling persists, follow up with your doctor.

I've noticed my urine has been a light pink color for the past few weeks. I've been masturbating a lot over the last month, and I'm starting to worry it might be connected. There's no pain when I pee, but the unusual color is really concerning me. Could this be because of my recent habits, or should I be worried about something else?

-Light pink urine is usually a sign of blood in the urine (hematuria) and is unlikely to be directly caused by masturbation. It could indicate an underlying issue like a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other conditions. It's important to consul
