  5. I'm really struggling with lasting longer during sex and it's been affecting my relationship. I've heard that some medications might help with controlling or delaying ejaculation, but I'm worried about whether this can actually solve the issue permanently. Can anyone give advice on how to increase the time, or if medication is a good route to take? Would appreciate any insights on this topic.

To increase sexual endurance, techniques like **squeeze method**, **start-stop method**, and practicing mindfulness can help control ejaculation. Medications like **SSRIs** or **topical anesthetics** may temporarily improve control, but they don't offer permanent solutions. Consulting a healthcare provider can help identify underlying causes and create a tailored approach.

ears could be an allergic reaction to the iodine or nickel used during the plasma donation process. *Possible Causes* 1. *Iodine allergy*: Iodine is commonly used to clean the skin before needle insertion. An allergic reaction to iodine can cause a rash, itching, and bumps. 2. *Nickel allergy*: Nickel is sometimes used in medical equipment, and an allergy to nickel can cause contact dermatitis, leading to a rash, itching, and bumps. *Next Steps* Considering you don't have health insurance, here are some steps you can take: 1. *Self-care*: Apply cool compresses to the affected area to reduce itching and inflammation. You can also try over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to help soothe the skin. 2. *Monitor symptoms*: Keep an eye on the rash and bumps. If they worsen, spread, or become severely itchy, seek medical attention. 3. *Contact the plasma donation center*: Reach out to the plasma donation center where you donated and inform them about the reaction. They may be able to provide guidance or offer to cover medical expenses related to the reaction. *When to Seek Medical Attention* If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention: 1. *Severe symptoms*: If the rash, itching, or bumps become severe, or if you experience difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness. 2. *Infection signs*: If you notice signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. 3. *Worsening symptoms*: If your symptoms worsen or don't improve with self-care.
