Why there was discharge before peing after taking termin injection
Male | 22
Regular pre-pee discharge after terminal injection is common. The shot sometimes aggravates the bladder, which results in this. There is some likelihood that it will also evoke a slight feeling of burning or a soft, dull pain. However, do not panic, as this symptom will normally resolve. Water is necessary to dilute the toxins in your body. If the problem lasts longer or becomes more severe, consult your physician.

Only first time at jun 23 AFB seen in test on basis my doctor recommends Att medicine to avoid further happening in life but I m not found that thing. 6 I start again Att course for treatment. Or any other things. Plz tell me
Female | 34
It sounds like you're dealing with frequent cold abscesses on your neck.
1. A recurring TB infection could be the cause, even if your tests are negative.
2. While ATT medicine is the correct treatment for TB, the infection may return if it isn't completely cleared.
3. Following the full ATT course as prescribed by your doctor gives you the best chance to eliminate TB bacteria and prevent further episodes.
It's important to stick to your medication and stay in close contact with your doctor for better management of the condition.

1.Can I wash my hair and bath in dengue If yes then by cold or hot water 2.from the end of third day my pain goes away and fever also not happen in dengue is it a miracle to recover in 3 days
Female | 23
Washing hair and bathing with lukewarm (not too hot/cold) water is fine if you have dengue. Three days without fever or pain might mean you're improving. High fever, awful muscle/joint aches, rashes - typical dengue signs. Rest up, hydrate, and check with a doctor if concerned.

Hello, I did the OralQuick test after we took the first PrEP pill and I did the test within 24 hours after we took the pill. Could the PrEP pill alone affect the result of the OralQuick test? I had never taken PrEp before AND we took the test about 15 hours after taking PrEP.
Male | 22
PrEP pill does not interfere with OralQuick test findings. Nevertheless, if you are worried, it is better to see a healthcare provider who could give you more accurate information and test results.

You likely developed varicocele, a condition where scrotal veins swell. This causes testicle pain and swelling. Running can worsen varicocele symptoms. Wear supportive underwear and avoid activities putting pressure there. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a urologist.

Going overboard with the supplements can hurt instead of helping. Upset tummy, feeling tired, even nerve damage. Chat with a doctor to get the right amount for you.

What could it be?
Female | 19
It doesn't necessarily mean you have a specific condition. The red tip and white base on your fingernails may be caused by factors such as trauma, nail biting, or even normal variation in nail pigmentation. Regarding your past kidney infection and having less blood in your body, its best to discuss these concerns with your doctor.
