I've been doing some research online and I think I might have balanitis. My foreskin is swollen and it's causing inflammation at the tip of the glans. Can you please help me figure out what I should do to treat this?

Balanitis can be treated with topical creams, such as clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and practicing good hygiene, including gentle cleaning with warm water and avoiding harsh soaps; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm feeling really worried about some health issues I'm experiencing. I've tested positive for HSV 1 IgG at 3.9, but my HSV 1 IgM is negative. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and my HIV test has come back negative since then. However, I've been dealing with a burning sensation on my penis and there's also pimples on the glans that aren't water-filled. I'm also experiencing a burning sensation on my tongue. I haven't started any treatment for HSV yet and I'm really concerned because I read online that not treating HSV could possibly lead to HIV in the future. I'm unmarried and this has me wondering if it's safe for me to get married in the future. Lastly, I had a liver sonography that revealed a grade 1 fatty liver about a month ago. Is this related to the HSV? What should I be doing now? I'm really in need of some guidance.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've noticed a big drop in my semen volume over the last 30 days it went from around 4ml to just 1ml, sometimes only a couple drops when I masturbate. I'm 31, not diabetic, haven't had any surgeries, and I'm not on any meds. What could be causing this and which specialist should I see about it?

The volume of your semen can change for a variety of reasons — if you haven't ejaculated for a few days you'll probably produce more semen and certain medications can make you produce less. Causes of low semen volume can include: Retrograde ejaculation. Nerve damage.

I found out I have a 7x6mm epididymal cyst in my left testicle. Is there any way to treat this completely without surgery? I'm really hoping for a solution that can cure it for good.
