my son has tight foreskin and the doctor diagnosed it as phimosis and recommended surgery but he doesn't have any issues with urination or pain during erections I've heard that at his age phimosis can be treated with stretching exercises and steroid creams instead of surgery can you guide me on the right approach

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

View allI've been having some issues after masturbating last night. After about 12 hours, I noticed blood on the head of my penis. I urinated and washed it, but it happened two more times after peeing. By morning, my urine seemed normal again. I had an ultrasound and urine test done, and they were normal, except for red blood cells detected in my urine. I'm worried because when my penis gets erect, I feel a very slight pain in the middle for about 12 seconds, and then it bleeds, especially after I urinate a few times. After around 23 urinations, everything seems to go back to normalno pain or blood. I'm taking leon 500 once a day, but I'm concerned about any blockage or injury from masturbation. Could you suggest what might be going on?
you may be experiencing some trauma or injury to your penis during masturbation. The presence of blood in the urine and pain during erection could be indicative of a urethral injury or inflammation. Since you have already taken Leon-500, which contains Levofloxacin, an antibiotic, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed to prevent any infection. I recommend you also take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen to help reduce any inflammation and pain in the area. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to prevent infection. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out your system and avoid any activities that may further irritate or injure the area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
