My father is 70 and has had an enlarged prostate for years. Recently, he's been dealing with urine retention for a few months. Are there any non-surgical treatments for this? Would homeopathy or ayurvedic options work better for his condition?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis. They showed up about 23 days after I had oral sex, and they're giving me a slight sensation. Could you please let me know what this might be and what steps I should take?
The small red spots on the inner head of your penis, accompanied by a slight sensation, may be caused by several factors related to oral sex. Here are some possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Irritation or Allergic Reaction*: Your partner's mouth or saliva might have caused irritation or an allergic reaction, leading to red spots and discomfort. 2. *Cuts or Micro-Trauma*: Minor cuts or micro-trauma during oral sex can cause red spots and sensitivity. 3. *STDs or STIs*: Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs), such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea, can cause red spots or sores on the genitals. 4. *Balanitis*: This is an inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infection. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, urologist, or a dermatologist to evaluate the red spots and determine the underlying cause. 2. *Get Tested for STDsSTIs*: Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, it's essential to get tested for STDsSTIs to rule out any potential infections. 3. *Practice Good Hygiene*: Maintain good genital hygiene, and avoid any further irritation or trauma to the affected area. 4. *Abstain from Sexual Activity*: Avoid any sexual activity until you've consulted a doctor and received proper guidance.

My foreskin is really tight and it's causing me discomfort. I don't want to go for surgery are there any other ways to loosen or remove the foreskin naturally? What can I do to fix this without an operation?
Topical steroids and stretching exercises are first-line—surgery is needed only if medical therapy fails.

I'm masturbating about 46 times a week. Is this okay for my health, or could it cause issues later on, like after I get married? I'm single right now and don't have any health problems, plus I exercise regularly. Should I be worried?
it is not good frequently
