My husband just had a urine test, and his epithelial cell count came back as 810. He had appendicitis surgery about 3 years ago, but he's been experiencing some pain in his lower abdomen recently. I'm really concernedshould we be worrying about a serious issue here, or could this be something normal?

I'm having trouble with the foreskin of my penis not retracting to expose the head, and I'm really concerned about keeping things hygienic. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you might be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Gently stretching the foreskin over time may help, but if the problem persists, a doctor can recommend treatments such as topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor procedure. For hygiene, clean the area gently with warm water to avoid infections. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

How do I properly massage my penis and testicles, and is it safe to use coconut oil for this? I've been curious about whether there's a right technique and if coconut oil is a good option.

To massage your penis and testicles, use gentle, circular motions without applying excessive pressure. Coconut oil can be used as a lubricant due to its moisturizing properties, but ensure you're not allergic. If you have any concerns or discomfort, its best to consult a healthcare professional.
