I've just gotten married, and whenever my wife and I try to have sex, I feel pain in the foreskin area of my penis. It looks like there's some bleeding, especially where the foreskin is attached. My wife is also experiencing discomfort in her vagina. We're both pretty worried about this. What steps should we take to address these issues?

Tongue ulcers can be quite painful.
Possible causes:
- Trauma or injury
- Viral infections (e.g., herpes, hand-foot-and-mouth disease)
- Bacterial infections (e.g., strep throat)
- Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., vitamin B12, iron)
- Hormonal changes
For relief, try:
- Applying topical anesthetics like Orajel or Anbesol
- Using a saltwater rinse
- Avoiding spicy or acidic foods
- Staying hydrated
- Consulting a doctor or dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment
If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

View allI'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?
After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

it's been 6 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like thing around the penis head - how long until everything looks normal again
Proper healing can take several weeks. In the initial days after circumcision, the skin around the penis may appear red and swollen. As healing takes place, redness will fade and swelling will subside. Likewise, any scar tissue that's raised or bumpy in the first days and weeks after the surgery should shrink.

I've been wondering about the effects of daily masturbation over many years. I'm 28 now, could this habit be lowering my testosterone levels? Also, are there other factors or things I should be aware of that might be causing low testosterone?
Daily masturbation does not significantly impact testosterone levels in a healthy 28-year-old. However, chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, obesity, and certain medical conditions (e.g., hypogonadism) can contribute to low testosterone levels. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormone balance.
