My friend's boyfriend accidentally swallowed her menstrual blood while performing oral sex on her. That day, he vomited many times and had to skip dinner. It’s been three days but he is still not feeling well. What medicine should he take? Please advise.

His problem is more psychological. He will get over it when he learns that the menstruation is not harmful.

I am a 30-year-old man. My penis itches during intercourse with my wife. I clean my penis daily, yet the problem persists. Please help.

A gynaecologist can help your wife. She may be having a mild candida infection. The medication prescribed should be taken by both of you.

I am 18 years old. I don’t know when this happened to me but I have realised that my penis has become U-shaped. Must I alter my lifestyle or change my brand of underwear? Please help.

Before you change your lifestyle or your brand of underwear, see an andrologist or a urologist to get an opinion on whether you can live happily with your U-shaped penis or it requires treatment.

I am 25 years old and my wife is 24. I have had a perfectly normal sexual life since we got married, 18 months ago. But of late, my penis hurts during sex and I can’t enter her fully. A few days ago, I noticed a cut where the foreskin begins and a little blood oozed out soon after I withdrew my penis.

You seem to have a tight foreskin, which pains whenever it gets stretched. Please see an andrologist or a urologist who may advise circumcision.
