I'm dealing with some issues like premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and a low sex drive. I've been taking makardhwaj vati for the past two weeks, one tablet a day, and I'm feeling better. Can I keep taking it, and if so, for how long? Is it safe to use over the long term, or are there any potential side effects I should be aware of?
Makardhwaj Vati is an herbal supplement commonly used to support male sexual health. While it may help with issues like premature ejaculation and low sex drive, its long-term safety isn't well-documented. It's generally considered safe in moderate use, but I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to ensure it's suitable for your specific condition and to avoid any potential side effects with prolonged use.

I'm dealing with this weird issue where the skin on my penis is really sticky and itchy. Its also a bit painful when I try to pull it back. Theres this sticky, white stuff on the head that looks kind of like dried semen, but I know its not. It's been about three days now and while it doesn't mess with my erections or passing urine, it's pretty uncomfortable. What could be going on and how should I treat it?
You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis. To help relieve the symptoms of itching and pain, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can also help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
