How to manage my difficulties while using a penis pump?

Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health care. I can understand your concern. If there is no pain, and you are also able to place the prepuce skin back on the glans, there's nothing to worry about. Swelling can be seen, for which I suggest taking an anti-inflammatory tablet like Chymoral forte (a combination of trypsin and chymotrypsin) thrice a day, which may help reduce edema. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent. Hope I have clarified your query.

What could cause burning sensation while urinating?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Please share your reports again, as I cannot open files. Do you have a history of urinary tract infection or unprotected sexual intercourse? I suggest you do a urine GeneXpert test for acid-fast bacillus (AFB bacilli) to rule out genitourinary tuberculosis, which causes dysuria (pain or burning during urination). Do you experience pelvic pain? If so, I suggest a rectal examination to check the possibility of prostatitis.

Are high PSA levels and occasional frequent urination suggestive of kidney infection?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. Primarily it seems to be an infection and do not worry about casts presently. Your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels are high which might be due to prostatitis. It needs minimal four weeks of antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole).

What is the reason for the increase in my PSA levels?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. A slight increase in PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels may be attributed to factors like a digital rectal examination (DRE) or prostatitis, which is typically not a cause for concern. I suggest retesting your PSA levels or undergoing a brief course of antibiotics to observe any changes in your PSA. If the levels remain elevated, you may opt for an mp-MRI (multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging) test, and if indicated, proceed with a biopsy.

What should be the line of treatment for a ureteric stone?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. According to the reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), your wife has got a ureteric stone roughly around 8 mm. You can give a trial of alpha-blocker and diuretics for three weeks. Even if the stone does not come out, you can think of ureterorenoscopy surgery. Blood in urine is probably due to stones but can be due to other causes also.

Why does mucus appears in the urine while urinating?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Was it when you passed 1st-morning urine? Night and early morning erections are normal and indicate a normal and good penile erection system which is physiological and does not indicate any problem (it is generally without any trigger or arousal). If the mucus from urine persists, can get urine analysis done to rule out any pathology. Thank you..
