  1. Dehydration and Hematuria
    Lack of water is not a direct cause of blood in urine (hematuria). However, dehydration can lead to concentrated urine, potentially irritating the urinary tract or contributing to kidney stone formation.

  2. Potential Causes

    • Kidney Stones: Dehydration can promote stone formation, which may cause hematuria.
    • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Concentrated urine can irritate the urinary tract, increasing infection risk.
  3. Recommendations
    a. Stay Hydrated: Drink adequate water to maintain clear urine.
    b. Seek Medical Evaluation: Consult a healthcare professional to identify the cause of hematuria.
    c. Avoid Self-Diagnosis: Prompt medical assessment is crucial for appropriate treatment.

  4. Conclusion
    While dehydration can exacerbate certain conditions, it is not a direct cause of blood in urine. Professional evaluation is essential to determine the underlying issue.

I've noticed something a bit concerning over the past couple of days. There's been this hazy liquid discharge under my foreskin, kind of with some white stuff mixed in. It only seems to happen once or twice a day, not every time I go to the bathroom, but I do catch it when I'm urinating. There's no burning sensation, so that's good, but afterward, there's a mild itch that lingers for a short while. I remember something similar happened around six months ago. Any idea what this might be or what I should do? I'm curious and a bit worried.

Your symptoms, including intermittent penile discharge, white-colored stuff, and mild itchiness, could be indicative of a fungal or bacterial infection, such as balanitis or urethritis, or possibly a sexually transmitted infection (STI), and it's essential to consult a urologist or a dermatologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan, especially since you've experienced similar symptoms in the past.

My penis is about 11 cm and pretty thin which really bothers me. Are there any safe ways to make it bigger without going through surgery? I've been feeling really insecure about this and want to know what options I have.

While there's no guaranteed method to significantly increase penis size without surgery, some approaches may improve perceived size or erectile function, which can impact appearance. These include improving blood flow, overall health, and potentially using exercises like jelqing or Kegels
