Kidney Failure Treatment

In case of kidney failure, either dialysis or transplant is an option to bring back normal functioning of the renal system. Treatment of kidney failure is temporary dialysis, which involves a machine that externally functions to purify the blood, replacing the action of the kidneys for a short period. Sudden stop of the blood in the kidneys due to excessive blood loss or injury leads to kidney failure.

Penile Curvature and testicular issue

Hi, I have penile curvature and am not sure if it is too severe for sexual intercourse. I have no pain during erection but will it cause pain during sex? Also my left testicle is lower than my right testicle (about 1 inch difference). Is this okay? I noticed this change when I switched from briefs to boxers and played sports in high school. Please see attached images for reference. Thanks

Persistent pain due to E coli infection

I’m 24 male from Mumbai. A 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with an E. coli infection in semen which was causing post-ejaculation pain. After completing treatment, the pain has reduced significantly overall, but I’m still facing some issues. I still get a spike in pain during ejaculation, especially when the penis is not fully erect. This happens quite often during nightfall, where ejaculation seems to occur before full erection. I’ve also noticed that I’m not getting strong erections like before, and ejaculation often happens before full erection along with increased sensitivity. There is no major pain during the day otherwise. Should I consult a urologist again or see an andrologist for this? Is this a normal part of recovery or something that needs further evaluation? Thank you.
