Ive noticed that when I get an erection, my glans penis bends downwards. If I pull my foreskin all the way back, it gets even more bent. I think it might be due to having a tight frenulum breve. Are there any home remedies or treatments that can help with this issue? Im really curious to know what I can do.

Bendex Tablets and Breastfeeding: Safety and Alternatives_

Given your concerns, here's a summary of Bendex tablets and breastfeeding safety:

Safety of Bendex Tablets during Breastfeeding

Bendex tablets contain: Piperazine, an antiparasitic medication.

Breastfeeding safety: There is limited information available on the safety of piperazine during breastfeeding. However, it's generally recommended to avoid using Bendex tablets while breastfeeding due to the potential risk of infant exposure.

Alternatives for Deworming during Breastfeeding

Consult your healthcare provider: Discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider, and they will recommend a suitable deworming medication or alternative treatment.

Meberverine or Albendazole: These medications are sometimes considered safer alternatives for deworming during breastfeeding. However, always consult your healthcare provider before taking any medication.

Preventing Worm Infestations

Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the toilet and before handling food.

Avoid eating undercooked meat: Ensure that meat is cooked thoroughly to prevent parasitic infections.

Maintain a balanced diet: Eat a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support your overall health.

I'm a 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.

Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.

My left testicle hangs much lower than my right one and sometimes feels like it's burning. I've heard about bell clapper deformity causing testicular torsion and I'm worried because I also have bilateral grade 1 varicocele. Could this deformity be why my left testicle hangs differently? Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with medications?

Lower testicle and mild varicocele can be normal, but persistent pain needs evaluation. Bell clapper deformity may need surgery if torsion risk is high.

I have a 10mm stone in my right kidney and a 5mm one in my left kidney will these pass on their own or do I need surgery?

A 10mm kidney stone is unlikely to pass on its own and will likely require surgical intervention. A 5mm stone has a higher chance of passing naturally, but it's also possible that it may require treatment depending on the individual's situation
