I've recently started having sex without using a condom, and I've noticed that my frenulum is bleeding. Is this something that's common, or should I be concerned?

It is not uncommon for the frenulum to tear or bleed during vigorous sexual activity, especially without the use of lubrication. To help with the healing process and prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day and keep the area clean. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual activity until the area has fully healed to prevent further injury.

My 71-year-old father was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a biopsy showed grade 24. The doctor recommended removing his prostate gland and testis, but he's currently taking homeopathic medicine like sabal serulata 200. Is surgery really necessary at this stage, or can his condition be managed with medicines? We're open to homeopathy, Ayurveda, herbal treatments, or even combining them with allopathy if it helps avoid surgery.

yes surgery is advised

I've noticed some white bubbles in the toilet after I pee, and it's definitely not because of splashing. I'm wondering if this could be why I'm not gaining any weight? Also, after I masturbate, I sometimes feel really weak, and I even get pain in my body, like in my hands or legs. What might be causing all this, and who should I talk to for some help?
