While having sex, I've noticed random cuts on the skin of my penis, and my partner experiences a burning sensation around the opening of her vagina. Could this be something serious? Sometimes we don't use protection. Also, I'm curious if there's a chance that kits might give incorrect results. Can you help with this?

The random cuts on your penis skin and your partner's burning sensation around the vaginal opening during sex could be indicative of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as herpes, HPV, or genital warts, or other conditions like genital eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; the lack of protection during sex increases the risk of STI transmission; regarding the accuracy of STI test kits, while they are generally reliable, there is a small chance of false negatives or false positives, so it's essential to consult a urologist

I'm wondering about the safety of masturbating when I have a kidney urethral stent placed inside me. Could this cause any problems or issues with my stent or my health?

Urethral stent should not cause any problem during masturbation, although it may be best to avoid it for fear of damage to nearby structures.

I'm 27 and was hoping you could help me out with something that's been bugging me. My penis, when erect, is only about 4.5 inches, and I recently got married. Last night, I was with my wife and couldnt get an erection at all, which was really embarrassing. Plus, even when it does get erect, I tend to release cum quite quickly. If I need to have sex today, what can I do that wont cause any bad reactions?
