Small bump on a testicle?
The bumps on the penis are probably pearly papules since you have never had sex. The bump on the testicle needs to get checked by a doctor. Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumor in young men. You may need an ultrasound. On a positive note, if it moves around and is not attached to the testicle it is probably just your epididymis. Please get checked. RSN READ MORE
UTI? Kidney Stones? Anxiety??
If you had symptoms in November and had a negative CT scan it's unlikely the symptoms you're having now are from a stone. Stones can form fast but are still unlikely. Problem is that a CT with contrast can miss small stones because the contrast is white and stones are white on CT. If blood is in the urine it's possible. More likely cystitis. Check into a test by a company called Pathnostics. It checks PCR for a lot of microorganisms that may not grow out on culture. READ MORE
Pimple On scrotum
It sounds like a small abscess that needs to be drained. It could be a sebaceous cyst, check out pictures on the internet. Those shouldn't be popped. Now that there is puss it probably needs to be drained. READ MORE
Advice on retracting my foreskin?
As an adult, it's not normal to not be able to retract your foreskin. If the opening is tight, its call phimosis and you may need a circumcision. It's possible you have adhesions that could be treated by a Urologist. READ MORE
Infection or not
Fishy smell is often Trichomonas which is an infection. This won=E2=80=99t show up on a regular culture, it has to be tested for. Both partners need to be treated. @thepeedoc READ MORE
Does fertility improve after varicocele embolization?
About 2/3 of patients who have varicocele repaired have improvement in semen parameters. Best of luck! @thepeedoc READ MORE
Urinary issues?
That's easy. Get a 2nd opinion. You probably were living close to the edge and something tipped you over. Once your bladder stretched out, you're on the "other side" of the edge and struggling. You likely will need long-term medication (you're on 2 of the big 3 we use). The 3rd med you could use is Cialis 5 mg daily. If a patient doesn't want to be on meds then I'd look in and see the configuration of the prostate. Options depending on size and configuration include TURP (laser or regular), UroLift, Rezum, etc. UroLift is the only treatment without sexual side effect. If it was me, I'd probably try the combination of tamsulosin and Cialis and see if that'9s better. If not, seek treatment. RSN READ MORE
Foreskin issue?
That’s pretty normal. It might pose a problem as you get older, diabetic, or heavier. Consider a circumcision if it ever is a real bother. READ MORE
Why boyfriend won't wear condoms?
There is a condom for every size and condition. He’s obviously not trying hard enough. READ MORE
Post hernia question?
Very strange. Even if they damage the vas deferens, that is only 3% to 5% of your ejaculate. It really should have nothing to do with your ability to climax. Usually, that’s a result of medications, nerve injury, or diabetes. READ MORE
PVR Test?
Don't do anything different if it's just a post-void residual. They will ask you to urinate and then measure how much is left with an ultrasound. If you over drink, sometimes your bladder will be stretched out and it won't be accurate. READ MORE
Antibiotic Schedule?
Usually, that means one pill twice a day. A couple of anabiotic’s for epididymitis might be affected by food, so just watch the instructions if you were to take them with food or on an empty stomach. READ MORE
Why do I have delayed ejaculation?
Anti-depressant medication is the number 1 reason. Diabetes can also be a cause. READ MORE
How to clear a fungal infection on your penis?
Usually, we use a combination of steroid and anti-fungal such as triamcinolone and nystatin. If this doesn’t work, sometimes you end up needing a circumcision. Roscoe S. Nelson, MD READ MORE
Can I get a UTI from this?
It would be very unlikely to "catch" a standard UTI from your girlfriend. There are some vaginal infections (STIs, yeast, etc.) that can be transmitted. Thanks, Roscoe S. Nelson, MD READ MORE
Do I have a urinary tract infection?
Probably. It could be something worse, but at 21, the most likely diagnosis is a UTI of some sort. See a doctor as you will need antibiotics. RSN READ MORE
Blood in semen. Is this bad?
Hematospermia, or blood in the semen, is common and usually benign. That being said you should have a rectal exam and a PSA. You should also have a urine checked for blood. Most of the time it's benign and heals in a few weeks. Roscoe S. Nelson, MD READ MORE
Why should people with kidney stones avoid spinach?
Spinach, other greens, leafy vegetables, along with coffee, tea, dark sodas, and nuts, all have high counts of oxalates in them. For that matter, other foods in excess like meat or protein can cause different types of stones. Roscoe S. Nelson, MD READ MORE
Can pregnancy cause permanent urinary incontinence?
It's not always permanent. Make sure you're doing Kegel exercises. I recommend 20 contractions for 5 seconds each and do this 3 times a day. Give it time, things are likely to improve. Roscoe S. Nelson, MD READ MORE
Does urine incontinence indicate a weak bladder?
It's not your bladder that's weak, it's usually the sphincter that's weak or there is some dropping of the urethra leading to the incontinence. I would start by doing Kegel exercises regularly. I usually recommend 20 contractions (5 seconds each), three times a day. If not improved in 3 months, see a urologist. RSN READ MORE
