Question 1

I recently had a urine test that showed RBC 23 HPF, and I'm a bit concerned. I did an ultrasound and X-Ray KUB, and both came back normal. Been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I tried some homeopathy medicine for a month, and the results looked normal, but then another urine test a month later still showed RBC 23 HPF. What could be going on? I'm really worried and could use some advice.

Accepted Answer

The presence of red blood cells (RBC) in the urine can indicate various conditions such as urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your ultrasound and X-Ray KUB results were normal, it's important to address the burning sensation in your urine. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat any possible urinary tract infection that may be causing the symptoms. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine 200mg three times a day for 2 days to help relieve the burning sensation. It's also important to stay well-hydrated and avoid irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a urologist may be necessary.

Question 2

Im a 21-year-old guy and I've been feeling a bit worried about my penis size. At my age and considering my height, which is 6 feet 1 inch, I can't help but feel like maybe it's smaller than it should be compared to others. Is there something I can do...

Accepted Answer

Stress and HIV can both cause rashes, but they have distinct characteristics.

HIV rashes are often:

Severe and widespread
Associated with fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes
Typically appear within 2-4 weeks after exposure

Stress rashes, like yours, are often:

Itchy and red
Localized to specific areas
Triggered by stress, anxiety, or emotional changes

Given your recent stress and normal blood test results, it's more likely that your rash is stress-related.

Question 3

I've been worried about a recent encounter I had with a sex worker. We had a mouth-to-mouth kiss and there was probably some saliva exchanged. I also licked her breasts a couple of times, but there was no lactation. I haven't had any dental problems ...

Accepted Answer

The risk of HIV transmission through oral sex with a man is very low because the mouth is an unfriendly environment for HIV. Saliva contains enzymes that break down the virus and the mucous membranes in the mouth are more protective than anal or vaginal tissue

Question 4

I'm noticing that my stamina isn't what it used to be and I'm worried about my performance. Plus, I feel like my penis isn't as strong as it should be. Do you have any suggestions for boosting my stamina and strengthening my penis?

Accepted Answer

I understand your concern. The risk of HIV transmission through a small cut on your ear from an infected barber is relatively low.

_Risk Assessment_

1. _HIV transmission_: HIV transmission requires direct contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. The risk of transmission through a small cut on your ear is low.
2. _Hepatitis BC transmission_: Hepatitis BC transmission is more likely than HIV through blood contact. However, the risk is still relatively low.

_Precautions and Next Steps_

1. _Seek medical attention_: Consult a doctor immediately and report the incident. They will assess the risk and provide guidance.
2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: Your doctor may recommend PEP, a medication that can prevent HIV infection if taken within 72 hours of exposure.
3. _Hepatitis BC screening_: Your doctor may recommend screening for hepatitis BC.
4. _Report the incident_: Inform the salon management and local health authorities about the incident.

Please prioritize your health and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Question 5

I'm really concerned because while I was masturbating, my foreskin's seal broke, and it started bleeding. It's not bleeding now, but it's pretty painful and hard to pull back. I'm struggling to clean it because of the pain. I'm also worried I won't b...

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you may have experienced a tear in your foreskin, which can be quite painful. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Once the tear has healed, you should be able to resume sexual activity with your girlfriend. However, it's important to give it time to heal properly before engaging in any sexual activity to avoid further injury or discomfort. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, it's important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 6

I'm really concerned because during sex, my foreskin doesn't seem to retract properly, and it's starting to get more painful. Is there something I can do to fix this issue, or should I be worried about it getting worse?

Accepted Answer

If your foreskin is not retracting (a condition called phimosis), it can cause pain or difficulty during sex. Using prescribed steroid creams or gentle stretching exercises might help, but if the issue persists, consult a urologistcircumcision or a minor surgical procedure may be necessary for permanent relief.
