Groin pain after exercise

Hello. I wanted to ask a body-positioning and exercise-related question. While lying on my stomach during sleep or yoga poses like cobra pose, I feel some pressure in the groin/private area. There is usually no pain, but I wanted to understand whether this kind of mild pressure is considered normal and safe for males. Also sometimes penis starts leaking liquid due to pressure on it, is it normal also ?

Dog chased me on my bike

Hello Doctors, The Incident: I was chased by a street dog while riding my motorcycle. The dog was exclusively on the right side of my bike and i was wearing shorts • The Contact: There was absolutely no bite and no scratch. However, I suspect the dog's breath or a drop of saliva might have landed on my right leg. • Immediate Action: I washed my right leg thoroughly with soap and water immediately after. • Skin Condition: I have visually inspected my right leg, and the skin is intact with no cuts, micro-abrasions, or open wounds. There was a micro scap in my ankle towards the left side of my right leg which faces the engine and I do have a tiny, dry, already-scabbed nick on my left leg, but the dog was never on that side of the bike
