My mom is 62 and diabetic recently got tested for a UTI and her report showed pus cells at 1015 but the urine culture came back negative for bacteria. She had her bladder removed a few years ago in surgery. Could the negative culture still mean an infection or what else might be causing the high pus cells?

View allI've got a cut on the skin of my penis, I believe it's called the foreskin. It's bleeding when I have sex, but otherwise, everything seems fine. What should I do about it?
You can clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap, and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol for any discomfort. If the bleeding continues or if you notice signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, please see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been feeling a burning sensation at the tip of my penis since having rough oral sex three days ago. There arent any sores, swelling, or marks, and I havent noticed any fluids or pus. I'm pretty stressed about it but wondering if it could just be some kind of soreness. What do you think?
It is possible that you are experiencing irritation or inflammation due to the rough oral sex. To help alleviate the burning sensation, you can try using an over-the-counter topical cream like lidocaine gel to numb the area. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed this tiny hard growth on my foreskin, about the size of a grain of sand. It's not itchy or burning or anything, but I'm a bit worried about what it could be. Any ideas on what this might be or if I should get it checked out?
This could potentially be a condition called Fordyce spots, which are small, raised, pale red, yellow-white, or skin-colored bumps that can appear on the shaft of the penis or the foreskin. They are usually harmless and do not require treatment. However, it is important to have it properly diagnosed by a healthcare provider to rule out any other possible conditions.
