My testicles have been feeling loose and painful for the past two years. The urologist said there's nothing to worry about since the echo test results were positive, but I'm still concerned. Could this discomfort be related to a lack of nutrients in my body? Could you please help clarify this for me?

Anal fissures can be sensitive and delicate during the healing process.

Having sex with your partner may pose some risks:

Discomfort or pain during intercourse

Reopening or exacerbating the fissure

Introducing bacteria, potentially leading to infection

To minimize risks, consider:

Waiting until your fissure is fully healed (usually 4-6 weeks)

Using lubricants and gentle positions to reduce discomfort

Practicing good hygiene and cleaning the area before and after sex

Consult your doctor or a gastroenterologist for personalized advice.

I'm noticing that when I pee, there are two streamsone's stronger and the other's weaker. This causes a lot of spraying, but there's no pain or burning. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could this be something I should be worried about?

The presence of two streams of urine, with one being weaker, and spraying, without pain or burning sensation, could be indicative of a urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or a condition called urethral duplication, but it's essential to consult a urologist

what are the best non-surgical treatments for phimosis besides stretching exercises i'm looking for options that don't involve surgery and want to know what actually works

For non-surgical phimosis treatment options beyond stretching, topical steroid creams and balloon dilation are commonly used. Steroid creams, like betamethasone or hydrocortisone, can soften and stretch the foreskin, often combined with stretching exercises. Balloon dilation involves inflating a small balloon under the foreskin to gradually stretch it, usually performed under local anesthesia. Good hygiene and addressing any underlying infections are also crucial
