I'm having this weird cold chill sensation at the tip of my penis every now and then. My urine and STD tests came back normal, which is a relief, but I'm still bothered by this feeling. I've been taking meds for angular stomatitis, and Matilda forte for some rare penis numbness I'd occasionally get when sitting cross-legged for too long, but the numbness has been improving. The chillness is super irritating, and it's hard for me to describe it properly to my GP. I noticed if I drink a couple of glasses of water or wash the area with warm water, it might get a bit better or just disappear, not totally sure. I have this theory that these sensations started after I was on some meds for a minor skin infection, and had to suddenly stop them when I was told to just drink a lot of water, which I never felt this way before. Could you help me figure out whats going on?

View allI'm a 30-year-old guy, and my family doctor recently mentioned HIMCOLIN GEL to me because I sometimes struggle to keep an erection during sex. I'm wondering how regularly I can use it without any issues. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Himcolin gel can be applied about 30 minutes before intercourse as needed, but avoid using it more than once daily. It is generally safe, but some may experience mild skin irritation or burning. If discomfort persists or worsens, stop use and consult your doctor.

I'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.

Had URS surgery in November 2015 for stones but now after 3 months there's mild pain again. What could be causing this and are there any precautions to prevent recurrence? How quickly can stones come back after surgery?
Mild pain after URS surgery, even 3 months later, could be due to various reasons, including a new stone, residual tissue irritation, or incomplete stone removal. To prevent recurrence, focus on hydration, dietary changes like reducing sodium and oxalate intake, and addressing any underlying medical conditions. While individual recurrence times vary, some studies suggest a median time to recurrence of 12 months after initial URS and SWL procedures, with a higher rate of repeat procedures after SWL compared to URS.
