I'm really worried about this S aureus balanitis thing. I have these bowel issues and some impetigo on my foreskin, and it's been treated but I'm still in a lot of pain all over my body. Can you tell me if this is normal or if there's anything else I should be doing?

You can use a combination of topical mupirocin ointment applied to the affected area three times daily and oral antibiotics such as cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry. For impetigo on the foreskin, you can also use mupirocin ointment. For body pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

View allI'm really concerned because about an hour ago, I masturbated in the washroom and afterwards noticed the head of my penis turned a yellowish color. I'm worried about what this color change could mean. Is this something serious? What steps should I take to address this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
A temporary yellowish discoloration of the penis head after masturbation is likely due to irritation, friction, or minor trauma, and may be accompanied by swelling or redness; apply a cold compress, maintain good hygiene, and avoid further irritation; if the discoloration persists, is severe, or accompanied by discharge, pain, or difficulty urinating, consult a urologist

My foreskin doesn't fully cover the head of my penis about 11.5cm is always exposed whether it's erect or not. It's been like this for years without any issues, but I recently read about paraphimosis and now I'm worried if I have it. Also, what exactly is circumcision surgery and would I need it
Paraphimosis is a urologic emergency where the foreskin, once retracted, cannot be returned to its normal position, leading to a tight band around the glans of the penis. It's a medical condition primarily seen in uncircumcised or partially circumcised males

I'm 28 and have been struggling with severe erection issues and low sperm count for the past 3 years. I had varicocele surgery on both testicles, but for the last year, there's been no movement in them. I also find it hard to start urinating, and the flow is very slow. My parents are looking for marriage proposals, and I'm really worried about my condition. Which specialist should I see for these problems?
demat opinion is advised to the patient.
