I'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend a few days ago, I've noticed something strange. There's this muscle or bump that's appeared on the top back part of my penis. It's been bothering me so much that I haven't been able to sleep for the past couple of nights. Does anyone know what might be going on, or what steps I should take to deal with this? I could really use some advice.

An empty endometrial cavity on an abdominal ultrasound typically indicates that there is no pregnancy.
However, it's essential to consider other factors, such as:
The timing of the ultrasound (early pregnancy might not be visible) Your menstrual cycle and last period Any symptoms you're experiencing
Consult your doctor or the radiologist who performed the ultrasound to discuss your results and determine the next steps.

View allI'm getting this weird stomach pain, especially on the lower left side, whenever I wear a belt or tight pants. It's uncomfortable, and if I'm wearing loose pajamas or shorts, the pain doesn't happen. Sometimes there's even a bit of discomfort in the testicle area. This has been going on for a while now, and I'm starting to wonder if it's something I should see a doctor about, or if it might just go away on its own. Any ideas or advice?
It sounds like you might be experiencing pressure-related discomfort, possibly due to a hernia, nerve irritation, or another underlying issue. It's best to consult a doctor to evaluate this, as early treatment can prevent complications. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing.

I'm really concerned about my father's condition. He's had an enlarged prostate for the past two years, and despite taking medication, there hasn't been any improvement. The report says his prostate size is 284435mm, with a volume of 24cc, and it's mildly enlarged with normal echotexture. He still has to rush to the toilet frequently. What should we do next? Is there any other treatment or approach we should consider?
I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with accurate information. _HIV Symptoms and Timeline_ HIV symptoms can appear anywhere from 2-4 weeks after exposure, with most people experiencing symptoms within 2-3 weeks. The fever you experienced within 18 hours of exposure is unlikely to be related to HIV. _Other Possible Causes of Fever_ Consider other possible causes of your fever, such as: 1. _Other STIs_: Chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STIs could cause fever. 2. _Viral infections_: Common viral infections like the flu or a cold could cause fever. 3. _Allergic reactions_: An allergic reaction to something else could cause fever. _Reducing HIV Risk_ Although you used a condom, the 5-second bare skin contact may pose a minimal risk. However: 1. _Condom efficacy_: Condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly. 2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: If you're concerned about HIV exposure, consult a healthcare provider about PEP within 72 hours of exposure. _Next Steps_ 1. _Get tested_: Consider getting tested for HIV and other STIs 2-3 weeks after exposure. 2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Discuss your concerns and symptoms with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about HIV or other STIs.
