I've been dealing with this issue for the third time in just over a month, and I'm getting really concerned. I'm having this pain in my testicles and also near the penis area. It's starting to worry me, and I'm wondering what's going on. Can you help me understand what this might be and how I can get some relief?

I had a urinary infection a year ago that didn't seem to go away, and after some tests, I found out I had a bacteria called proteus which got cured with medicine.

I'm really worried about my brother. He was told he has a positive semen culture for enterococcus faecalis, and now his urologist prescribed two daily injections of mikacin 500 mg for 5 days and a daily tablet of forcan 150. I'm just wondering, is it normal to need so many injections for this type of infection? And is mikacin the right antibiotic for enterococcus faecalis?

I have phimosis but it's not like the typical cases I've read about there's no pain, swelling, or trouble peeing, and everything else seems normal. The only issue is I've never been able to retract my foreskin since birth. Are there any non-surgical ways to manage this? Could it cause problems later or affect sex?
