I went for a routine STD checkup today. I was asked to give my oral swab , anal swab , urine sample and blood sample. For the first three ones I was in the bathroom. The thing is I forgot to disinfect my hands after touching the bathroom door knob after closing and locking it. When I proceeded to take my oral swab with a long stick, my fingers somewhat touched the inside of my mouth. Not too inside but somewhat. After that I also touched my penis with the same hands while giving the urine sample. Am I at risk of contracting stds because of the fact that I forgot to disinfect my hand after closing the bathroom door before taking the swabs?

Do not worry. You have touched your own body, if infection is in side your body, then it's already inside. Hospital bathrooms are generally sanitized regularly. if you are still want to confirm bout the infection then you can visit urologist for physical consultation

Enuresis, a condition where one can't control their bladder during sleep could be the reason. It can occur due to infections or stress. The back pain and stomach issues could be connected. Your nursing studies make it all the more important to get help from a doctor to determine the exact cause and the best treatment, especially if you are in doubt. Be sure to tell your doctor everything and explain to your parents why it is important for you to keep taking your medicine.

Im a 15 year old teen and I think I have a UTI but I haven't had any sexual intercourse with anyone did masturbating cause this?? Cause it burns to pee and I constantly feel like I have to pee
Female | 15
A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) might be the cause of your troubles. Anyone can get a UTI, even without sex. Self-pleasure doesn't directly lead to UTIs. Peeing frequently and feeling a burn are common signs. Drink plenty of water, and see a urologist for antibiotics to find relief.

I started feeling very dizzy. I went to urgent care and got a urinalysis. It came back high. I took 2 urinalysis strip tests at home which came back with 80 mg/dl. Is that bad?

When you feel light-headed and have too much sugar in your pee, it can be worrisome. A lot of sugar in the pee could mean a lot of sugar in the blood, which might be a sign of diabetes. Symptoms of high blood sugar can include being thirsty, urinating often, and feeling very tired. To help with this, you need to eat healthy food and do exercises as well as check your blood sugar often. These are important steps for staying healthy after what you’ve found out so it would also be good if one could talk with a urologist about them.

My penis skins in a small are is peeling off and white flesh are visible. Feeling irritation. Can't figure out what is happening.
Male | 29
Maybe you have balanitis. That's when the skin on the penis gets irritated. Some reasons are bad hygiene, harsh soap or chemicals, or infection by fungus or bacteria. To help, gently wash with mild soap and warm water. Keep it dry. Don't use anything harsh down there. See a urologist if it doesn't get better.

Nerves and muscles incomplete growth penis
Male | 31
Nerves and muscles don't grow fully in some men's penises. This makes it hard for them to get or keep erections. Hormonal imbalance, certain medications, or health issues may cause this. Avoiding smoking and alcohol can help a bit. However, its recommended that you consult a urologist for proper diagnosis and suitable treatment.

I am worried by my tight foreskin
Male | 40
You could have phimosis - the foreskin doesn't pull back easily. Pain or pee trouble can happen. Infections, swelling or natural causes bring it on. Try gentle stretches, and special creams from a urologist. If it stays, surgery may fix it.

Hi, my name is Avnish Singh and I'm 18 years old. I've been experiencing swelling in one of my testicles for the past two days. It feels like there are veins connected to the testicle that are clumped together and thickened. While there's no pain normally, it does hurt when I jump or touch the area.
Male | 18
It seems like you may have a health issue called epididymitis. This is when the tube next to the testicle gets swollen and big. Many things can cause this issue, like germs. The swelling and thick veins you feel could be from this sickness. It is very important to go see a urologist to find out for sure what is wrong and get the right treatment.

Vomiting continuously after consuming water, even small sips. Slight pain similar to holding in urination but I'm sitting on toilet with no urination discharge. But I do urinate when I feel the need to urinate but no pain until I sit or lye down like I was holding it again

These symptoms can be involved in urinary tract infections or kidney stones. It is necessary to go see a urologist for an accurate diagnosis and sufficient treatment. Water consumption as well as caffeine and alcohol avoidance also contributes to reducing symptoms.
