I've noticed some skin rashes on my penis and a small area on the head that looks irritated. Im worried it might be balanitis. How should I treat this? Is there something specific I need to do or avoid?

Balanitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the glans penis; to treat balanitis, practice good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, avoid irritants like harsh soaps or bubble baths, and apply topical creams or ointments like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or antifungal medications.

I've been having this issue where I was masturbating and it got a bit rough, and now I think I might've pulled a vein or something. Its been a month and whenever I get an erection or need to pee, I feel a bit of pain. It feels like it's getting worse since I havent really stopped having sex or masturbating since it started. Can you recommend any ointment or something that might help relax my veins and speed up recovery?

No need to worry take some rest.give some time for it to heal.do not attempt to do such activity for a while,if its bothering you more,visit Urologist for appropriate management.

My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a biopsy score of 4410 but his bone scan came back negative. Can this be treated with just medications or does he need surgery?

A Gleason score of 4+4=8 is considered high-grade prostate cancer, indicating a higher risk of aggressive growth and potential spread. A negative bone scan suggests the cancer hasn't yet spread to the bones. While medication (hormone therapy) can be effective for advanced prostate cancer, surgery (radical prostatectomy) is a primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer. The best approach for your dad will depend on his specific situation, including the extent of the cancer within the prostate and his overall health.

I'm wondering if it's okay to use honey on my wife's private areas during foreplay. Also, is it alright to apply honey on my own parts? I should mention that I don't have any health issues except for dealing with premature ejaculation. I'm curious and would appreciate your advice.
