I've been dealing with a problem that's really starting to worry me. I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I think I've kind of overdone it with masturbation over the past few yearslike three times a day for seven years. Now I feel like my penis has lost a lot of its sensitivity, and it's causing me erectile dysfunction and making it hard to enjoy sex. I've been searching everywhere online, but I just can't find any meds or treatments that might help with this. Could you let me know if theres anything I can do about it? Maybe some medicine or something to regain sensitivity?

To help improve sensitivity and address erectile dysfunction, you can try using a topical medication called Lidocaine gel. Apply a small amount of Lidocaine gel to the tip of your penis before intercourse to help increase sensitivity. Additionally, you can also try medications like Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) to help with erectile dysfunction. These medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.

I'm dealing with a UTI and my doctor prescribed me Niftas 100 mg twice a day. But I've been getting these intense headaches after taking it. Any idea why this might be happening?

Headache can be a side effect of Niftas (Nitrofurantoin), which is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). If you are experiencing severe headaches as a side effect of Niftas, you should inform your doctor. They may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication such as Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) or Bactrim (TrimethoprimSulfamethoxazole) to treat your UTI without causing severe headaches.

Hey, so my dad's testicles started bleeding even though he didn't get hurt or anything. We noticed his blood pressure was really high at 19090 mmHg when we went for first aid. They said a vein might have burst, causing the bleeding. Could his high blood pressure be the reason for this? Also, what should we do next? Should we go see a doctor straight away or anything else we need to consider?

Yes, high blood pressure (19090 mmHg) can cause a varicocele (enlarged vein) to rupture, leading to testicular bleeding; immediate medical attention is crucial to rule out other potential causes, such as testicular torsion or tumor, and to prevent further complications.
