I've had a burning sensation when peeing ever since my C-section and catheter removal six years ago, but my cystoscopy showed everything was normal. What could be causing this ongoing issue?

A persistent burning sensation when peeing after a C-section and catheter removal, even after a normal cystoscopy, could be due to several factors, including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, urethral stricture, or chronic inflammation related to the surgery. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment

I've been dealing with kidney stones and got prescribed antibiotics, codeine, and paracetamol. It's been 5 days, and I still haven't had a bowel movement. Is it alright if I take something like senokot to help with this? I'm a bit worried about this situation.

Topical Treatments* 1. *Steroid creams*: Apply topical steroid creams (e.g., betamethasone or triamcinolone) to reduce inflammation and promote skin elasticity. 2. *Vitamin E oil*: Massage vitamin E oil into the affected area to promote skin health and elasticity. 3. *Tea tree oil*: Apply diluted tea tree oil (3-5%) to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. *Pharmaconutritional Treatments* 1. *Vitamin D supplements*: Ensure adequate vitamin D levels, as deficiencies can contribute to phimosis. 2. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Consume omega-3 rich foods or supplements to reduce inflammation and promote skin health. *Additional Recommendations* 1. *Gentle manual stretching*: Continue gentle manual stretching of the foreskin, ideally with a lubricant, to promote elasticity and retractability. 2. *Warm baths*: Regular warm baths can help relax the skin and promote retractability. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Schedule regular follow-ups with a healthcare professional to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed. *Important Notes* 1. *Circumcision may be necessary*: If phimosis persists or worsens, circumcision may be required to prevent complications. 2. *Infection risk*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

I'm masturbating about 46 times a week. Is this okay for my health, or could it cause issues later on, like after I get married? I'm single right now and don't have any health problems, plus I exercise regularly. Should I be worried?

I'm really worried because I'm diabetic with an FBS of 200 and I've noticed that I'm getting sensitive areas under the foreskin, which is prominent after intercourse. I'm uncircumcised and have been using Surbraz TZ cream for about two years to help subside the cuts, but it keeps recurring. My routine urine tests always come back normal, but sometimes my wife ends up with a UTI after we've been intimate. We've tried using Zocon T, and it helps temporarily, but the symptoms keep returning. I've seen a lot of skin and VD specialists, but no one has been able to provide a solution. I understand this might be related to my diabetes, but there's got to be some kind of cure or long-term solution, right? What should I do next?

Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.
