Question 1

I've been dealing with what's probably jock itch and I've been sexually active while this was happening and even masturbated. Now there's this swelling on my penis, like half an inch down from the head, forming a ring about the same width around it. I'm circumcised, but there's also a lot of swelling at the bottom of the head, particularly on the foreskin underneath. I'm really worried about all this and I am wondering what the problem could be and how to handle it as soon as possible.

Accepted Answer

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about how often I should be masturbating. Are there any health effects from doing it? Like, is there a recommended number of times a week or month that's considered healthy? I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.

Accepted Answer

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, with no serious physical or mental health effects when done in moderation; a healthy frequency can vary, but general guidelines suggest 2-3 times a week is normal, while excessive masturbation (more than 1-2 times a day) can lead to issues like fatigue, guilt, or decreased sexual sensitivity.

Question 3

I've just had plastic surgery and am currently taking cefadroxil 500mg twice a day for the next six days as part of my post-op meds. However, I was also on azithromycin 500mg for urethritis and have only taken the first dose. I'm supposed to take the second and third doses. Is it okay to take the cefadroxil while continuing with the azithromycin for urethritis?

Accepted Answer

Smoking weed (marijuana) during chickenpox is not recommended.

While marijuana may provide temporary pain relief, it can also:

Suppress the immune system, potentially prolonging recovery
Increase the risk of respiratory complications, such as pneumonia
Interact with other medications, like antivirals or pain relievers

Instead, consider talking to your doctor about alternative pain management options, such as:

Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen
Topical creams or ointments for skin relief
Prescription antiviral medications to reduce symptom severity
