I'm having some discomfort with my penis. The head hurts when I touch it, and there's a burning feeling sometimes when I pee. Can you help me understand what's going on? Is it safe to have sex while I'm experiencing this?

Symptoms could indicate a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. For the pain and burning sensation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, it is important to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription of antibiotics if needed. Regarding having sex with these symptoms, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity until you have been evaluated and treated to prevent spreading any potential infection to your partner.

View allI've been using mintop minoxidil topical solution 5 for the last year and a half. In the past six months, I've noticed my libido has been dropping, and now it's completely gone. I have no erections and my semen seems watery. I stopped using minoxidil a month ago, hoping things would get better, but there's still no change. Everyone keeps saying minoxidil is safe, but it feels like it's turned my life upside down. I don't care about my hair anymore; I just want my libido back. Will I ever regain it?
Minoxidil is generally safe, but your symptoms might suggest other underlying issues, such as hormonal imbalance or psychological factors. Please consult a doctor or endocrinologist for a thorough evaluation and treatment plan. With proper care, your libido and overall health can often be restored.

My father is 70 and has had an enlarged prostate for years. Recently, he's been dealing with urine retention for a few months. Are there any non-surgical treatments for this? Would homeopathy or ayurvedic options work better for his condition?
