I've been dealing with a paper cut on my foreskin. I went to see a general physician and took some medication. It seemed to be getting better for a while, but now it feels like it's come back. Im really worried about why it's not healing properly. Could this be a sign of something more serious, and what should I do next?

I'm a bit concerned about my grandma's recent urine report. It says there are 15-20 pus cells per high power field. She doesnt really have any other issues, except she sometimes has incontinence. She's on some Ayurvedic treatment for that. What does it mean to have that number of pus cells? Should we be worried?

The normal range of pus cells in the urine is 0-5. Since the report suggests pus cells of 15-20 and bacteria is present, it is suggestive of urinary tract infection(UTI). Ideally you should send the urine for culture so that the most sensitive antibiotics can be used.

I'm feeling a bit worried about some issues I'm having. My penis seems to be very sensitive, and it feels uncomfortable whenever I touch it. Also, I think the foreskin feels tight when it's erect. I'm still a virgin, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. Are there any home remedies or medications you could recommend to help with this?
