  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 been having some issues during sex where I come out really quickly when I try to insert, but if I don't attempt to insert, I can stay erect for a long time. I'm also a bit unsure about if there are any specific positions that might help with this. Any advice on what might be going on or what I could try?

It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and maintain an erection. As for positions, it's best to experiment and find what is most comfortable and pleasurable for you and your partner. Remember to consult a specialist before starting any new medication.

I'm noticing that my penis tends to lean to the right side, both when it's erect and when it's not. Plus, one of my testicles seems larger than the other. I recently masturbated for the first time in 56 days, and I felt pain during both masturbation and ejaculation. I'm feeling pretty worried about all this and wondering what could be going on with me. What should I do?

You should know that to form a semen lot of energy is utilised in the body and in masturbation again lot of calories is burned, so if done excessively might cause fatigue and tiredness. During this act, due to excessive force there might be injury to the genitals. There are evidences which suggest that excessive masturbation might aggravate hair loss and it might cause premature ejaculation which will cause difficulties in concieving in the future. So I suggest you to do yoga and mainly meditation to have some willpower to control your habit. Try to engage in some athletic activities wity your friends.try to be invovled with your family which gives you a grounded atmosphere. If possible try to study in a library or do a combined study, just the fear of getting caught will itself might act beneficial. If you are still not satisfied kindly consult a physician for further managemen
