Question 1

I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?

Accepted Answer

After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Question 2

I'm really struggling with a bad habit of hand practice and just don't know how to stop. Every time I feel weak and tell myself I'll quit, I find myself right back at it once I start feeling better. It's like I can't control the urge no matter how ha...

In such cases, medications like fluoxetine (Prozac) can be helpful in reducing compulsive behaviors. Additionally, counseling or therapy can also be beneficial in addressing the underlying reasons for this behavior and developing coping strategies. Do not start any medication without consulting a specialist first.

Question 3

I've been experiencing some tender pain at the top of my left testicle, and sometimes it even seems like the shape of it isn't quite round. Walking or touching that area makes the pain worse. I'm not sure if I should see a gynecologist or if a genera...

Accepted Answer

You should consult a urologist, not a gynecologist, as they specialize in male reproductive health; a general physician can provide an initial evaluation, but a urologist is better equipped to diagnose and treat potential issues like epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, or varicocele; schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and undergo a physical examination to determine the cause of the pain and abnormal testicular shape.

Question 4

I'm having a bit of an issue and I'm really concerned. During intercourse, I noticed that the foreskin on my penis gets cut at the lower inner joint. It bleeds quite a lot when it happens, although it does stop eventually. This has been worrying me s...

Accepted Answer

It's important to get the cut checked by a doctor, especially with diabetes, as healing can be slower, and there's a risk of infection. If it's not healing properly or if you experience pain, swelling, or redness, please consult a healthcare professional for proper care.

Question 5

I've been having this burning sensation when I pee, mostly in the mornings. It's way worse if I've had alcohol the night before. I've had my urine checked a couple of times, and there was a small infection. But if it's an infection, why isn't it goin...

Pregnancy Despite "Safe Days"_

1. _Ovulation variability_: Ovulation can occur at different times each month, making it difficult to predict exact "safe days."
2. _Sperm longevity_: Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, increasing the chances of fertilization.
3. _Fertilization window_: The fertilization window can last up to 24 hours after ovulation.

_Sylate (Contraceptive Pill) and Pregnancy_

1. _Single pill omission_: Missing a single pill, even if it's the only one, can increase the risk of pregnancy.
2. _Hormonal imbalance_: The contraceptive pill works by regulating hormones. Missing a pill can disrupt this balance.

_Next Steps_

1. _Confirm pregnancy_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy.
2. _Prenatal care_: Begin prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
3. _Discuss birth control options_: Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control options for future use.
