I'm having some problems when I pee. There's this burning sensation in my penis and I also notice a sperm-like smell in my urine. I'm also feeling weak lately. Any idea what could be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The symptoms of burning sensation while urinating, smell of semen in urine, and feeling weak suggest possible causes such as urinary tract infection (UTI), prostatitis, urethritis, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs); consult a urologis

View allI've been thinking about my habits recently. I used to masturbate a lot, but I've now stopped for about a week, and I haven't watched any porn either. Is it okay to completely stop, or is it healthier to do it every now and then?
Stopping masturbation for a week is unlikely to cause harm, and it's okay to abstain or reduce frequency voluntarily; whether to resume masturbation or maintain abstinence depends on personal preferences, values, and goals; consider focusing on overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being, rather than frequency of masturbation.

I've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?
It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!

I have an 11mm kidney stone but no pain right now. Can it be removed with medicine or will I need surgery? What are my options?
An 11mm kidney stone may not pass naturally and might require treatment, potentially including medical procedures or surgery. While some smaller stones may pass with increased water intake and medication, an 11mm stone has a lower chance of passing on its own. Treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break up the stone, ureteroscopy to remove or break up the stone with laser or other tools, and in some cases, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for larger stones.
