View allMy foreskin is really tight and sealed, and the tip stays very narrow and closed no matter what. From what I've read online, it sounds like phimosis. I don't have any pain when peeing though. Who should I see about this and what's the usual treatment? Would I need surgery right away?
If you're uncircumcised and your foreskin is too tight, you may have phimosis. While symptoms may be uncomfortable, you can treat phimosis with topical medications or it may go away with age. Usually, the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis can be pulled back from the head (glans) of the penis

I'm really confused about my recent health diagnoses and I hope you can give me some guidance. I was told I have Herpes simplex igg with a score of 2.78, but I haven't noticed any pimples, scars, or redness anywhere around my genitals or face. However, I've been experiencing tickling sensations in my penis and saw blood in my semen during intercourse. Alongside this, I've been diagnosed with chlamydia and took the meds my doctor prescribed, but I'm still noticing a cloudy liquid discharge from time to time. The burning sensation is gone, but I'm not sure what steps I should take next to deal with herpes. Any advice on how to manage or understand these symptoms better?
For the treatment of herpes simplex virus infection, you can consider taking antiviral medications such as Valtrex or Acyclovir. These medications can help in reducing the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your specific condition. Additionally, practicing safe sex and maintaining good personal hygiene can also help in managing herpes outbreaks.

i have a 4mm kidney stone on both sides and was wondering if it can pass naturally without surgery also noticed slight bleeding in my urine today is that normal or something serious
Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it.
