My foreskin is really tight and hard, making it difficult to pull back. Is this something serious? Do I need surgery to fix it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A tight foreskin, known as phimosis, is not always a cause for concern, especially in children, as it can naturally loosen as they grow. However, if it's painful, prevents proper hygiene, or leads to complications, it may require treatment, which could include steroid creams or, in some cases, surgery.

View allI've noticed that one of my testicles, the right one specifically, seems to hang lower than it used to. I'm 21 and just had a full body check where everything seemed fine, and the doctor checked my testicles but didn't touch them, just took a good look. I hit the gym pretty regularly and wear tight shortsI'm wondering if that or the lifting might be affecting this. I also have another medical exam soon before I start work on a ship. Could this lower-hanging testicle be something I should worry about?
It's possible that lifting heavy weights or wearing tight shorts could cause some temporary changes in the position of your testicle, but if your doctor didn't find any issues during your last checkup, it likely isn't a cause for concern. However, if you notice persistent discomfort or other symptoms, it's a good idea to mention it during your next medical checkup before heading to the ship.

I've been on medication for over 4 months now, but the size hasn't changed it's still 5834 mm. What should I do at this point? Is surgery an option for me?

I've been dealing with frequent urination for the past two weeks and it's really getting to me. I've already tried antibiotics like Niftas and Flavospas, but they haven't helped at all. I seem to keep getting these UTIs over and over, and it's so frustrating. What else could be going on and what should I do next?
you need to get urine rm and culture, blood culture and proceed accordingly
