I'm feeling these strange, faint vibrations in my penis, sort of like the sensation when a phone vibrates, and it's been going on for about three days now. I'm not sure what's causing it and I'm getting a bit concerned. What could be causing this and how do I make it stop?

A healthcare provider may perform a physical exam, ask about your medical history, and potentially order tests like an ultrasound, MRI, or nerve conduction studies to determine the cause. If you're feeling concerned, dont hesitate to get checked out for peace of mind

My mom is about to turn 63 and has been having trouble with her urine flow it stops and starts repeatedly, with only small amounts coming out each time. Could this be a serious issue or just a mild infection? Would she need medication or possibly surgery to fix this?

Urinary flow issues in older adults can be a sign of a urinary tract infection or a more serious condition like bladder dysfunction. Medications may help, but if it’s persistent, further tests and possible treatment (including surgery) might be necessary.
