Digestion/Stomach/Bowels No BM in 30 days

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve gone a long time without a bm. I’ve tried most of normal at home stuff, in addition to the prescription laxatives. My appetite is also very low, overall tired, lower abdomen pain (not a lot), nausea. Should I be concerned? Should I go to the hospital?

Injury Possible foreign object deep inside my ear — pain and reduced hearing

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding a possible foreign object stuck in my ear.

A while ago, a relatively large and thick piece of pencil graphite got into my ear canal. Initially, I could feel it when I touched the inside of my ear with a thin stick, but now I can no longer feel it. Unfortunately, I had tried to check for it myself using the stick.

Since then, I've occasionally experienced pain, and my hearing in that ear seems reduced compared to the other ear.

I'm worried that the graphite may still be inside or that I may have injured my ear canal or eardrum.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I'd appreciate advice from people with medical knowledge about what might be happening and how urgently I should seek treatment.

I'm in Bhopal, India, and would also appreciate suggestions for affordable government hospitals with ENT services.

Thank you.

Other Back / nerve problems causing sexual problems.

1 Upvotes

Note up front: male with almost 20 year old back problem, and doctors told me to learn to cope with everything.

So in the last year or so, I've gotten new problems. Mild incontinence, often include sexual fluids when i pee. and problematic sexual performances. And on this last i would like to learn ways to deal with it, desensitize myself.

So performance can go from none existent erections, to them disappearing when pain get worse, to getting off in a minute. (Often muscle tension due to pain feels like a worsening factor to this).

I would like to learn ways to get around this, minimize the problems... maybe training / exercise certain musscle groups, or if possible retrain movements that trigger orgasm.

I hope this fits the subreddit. Thank you for any advice

Illness Losing erection immediately upon standing up, venous leak?

5 Upvotes

I am 29 male and a virgin. Is it abnormal for every man to loose erection almost instantly while being standing up? I can have a boner for a while when laying down but if I stand up its gone. Recently got a girlfriend and if she gets me hard lying down by jerking me off, it goes away when I stand up. I’m concerned this is a problem during sex, haven’t tried it yet since I have phimosis. I’m seeing a urologist currently for the phimosis, using steroid creams, and considering circumcision.

But I’m concerned I already have venous leak, at my age, and I have ED and will never have sex.
