I've been masturbating for the past 6 years without actually removing my clothes, like on my underwear. Is there any chance this could lead to an infection?

Masturbating in this manner may increase the risk of developing a genital infection due to the warm and moist environment created by the underwear. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection. You can use antifungal creams like Clotrimazole 1% cream to prevent or treat any potential fungal infections.

I had kidney stone removal surgery 3 weeks ago and the stent was taken out 5 days back. For the past two days my ear has been hurting and the left side of my face feels dull and numb. Could this be from the antibiotics? If I stop taking them will it go back to normal or do I need some other treatment?

It's possible your symptoms are related to the post-surgical recovery process, particularly stent removal, and could be due to the medication. However, it's crucial to seek advice from your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. While discontinuing the antibiotics could potentially alleviate some symptoms, it may not resolve the issue if it's a separate complication.

my foreskin is really tight and causing a lot of pain, what should I do? do I need to see a specialist for this or are there any precautions I can take first? is surgery the only option or are there other treatments?

For tight foreskin and pain, consult a urologist for an evaluation. You may not need surgery right away; steroid creams or gentle stretching exercises can sometimes resolve the issue. If surgery is needed, a circumcision could be done.

I'm trying to understand what's going on with some recent scan results. It mentions there's a right pleural effusion that's under 100 ml. How serious is that? Should I be worried? Also, it says there's a thick-walled urinary bladder with some post-void residue, and I'm wondering if it's linked to cystitis. Could you explain what this all means and what steps I should consider next?
