I've done a semen culture, and they found klebsiella pneumoniae ssp pneumoniae. My doctor is saying I should take gentamicin 80mg, but I've read online about a bunch of side effects. I'm worried and not sure if I should go ahead with this injection. Can you give me some advice?

I'm getting really worried because lately my penis isn't getting hard, even when I'm watching porn. I can still ejaculate, but it's just not hard at all. Any idea why this might be happening? I'm really scared.

This could be due to stress, fatigue, hormonal changes, or even excessive porn consumption leading to desensitization. Psychological factors like anxiety or physical issues like poor blood flow may also contribute. It's important to stay calm and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and guidance.
