I'm trying to understand more about my urine culture report that showed an E. coli infection. I'm a bit stressed about what this means for treatment. Do I need to take pills, or should I expect injections? Could it require hospital admission? I'd really appreciate some guidance on the diagnosis process and which type of doctor I should see. I've got my reports with me if that helps.

I'm dealing with an ongoing infection under my foreskin and on the top of my penis. I've been seeing a dermatologist for a couple of months, and while it got better at first, the infection hasn't completely gone away and seems to have gotten worse again. Should I stick with the dermatologist, or is it time to see a urologist? Any advice on what I should do next?

that looks like venereal disease , ask your dermatologist fpr appropriate approach there will be seperate kit for each such disease u can ask for such treatment, personal hygiene is most important and refrain from sexual activity untill you are completely recovered.

My dad had prostate surgery on June 25th and the doctor said he recovered well with no issues. But since yesterday, he's been passing small clots in his urine and it's slightly reddish at first before turning clear. He doesn't have any pain and hasn't overexerted himself. Should we be concerned about this?

urine culture and sensitivity is advised to the patient.

I'm 37 and I've been struggling with premature ejaculation. I've heard about Himalaya's Confido tablets and I'm wondering if they're safe for me to use. Are there other treatments I should consider?
