What STD screen should I go for after unprotected anal sex?

Unprotected anal sex is a very risky form of sexual intercourse. It puts you at higher risks for the different Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). You are also at a higher risk for HIV infection as compared to vaginal or oral sex. I would highly discourage you from taking part in unprotected anal sex. Please use a condom if you do want to engage in anal sex.

How can I treat phimosis in Singapore?

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted behind the head of the penis (glans penis). They have different severity. The most severe kind will be one where the opening of the foreskin is so small that it may even cause problems during urination or cause pain during intercourse. Some may not be mild and can be retracted only when flaccid, but getting tight when erect. This may cause pain during intercourse and may also lead to Paraphimosis which is a medical emergency where the foreskin is stuck behind the head of the penis.
