I'm feeling a bit confused about which doctor to see for treatment of balanitis. Should I go to a dermatologist or a urologist? Could you help me figure this out?

It depends on the underlying cause. Balanitis treatment is fairly simple, involving antibiotics or antifungals with lifestyle modifications associated with genital hygiene.

For the past few months, I've been dealing with a burning sensation when I pee and having to push hard to empty my bladder. The flow is slow, not smooth, and sometimes splits into multiple streams. My doctor thinks it's likely a stricture and suggested surgery. Are there other treatment options? Also, I've noticed a sudden drop in libido and weaker erections could this be connected?

A urethral stricture can cause these symptoms; options like dilation or endoscopic urethrotomy may be tried before surgery.

I'm experiencing a burning sensation and pain at the tip of my penis every time I use the toilet. I've seen a doctor and they did an ultrasound which came back normal. I also visited a urologist who said there's no major issue, but I'm still having these symptoms despite taking medication. What should I do?
