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.

The testis and penis are swollen; therefore, a urologist should be consulted. In all these areas swelling has different causes, such as infections or tumors. Early treatment is recommended in order to diagnose and treat the underlying issue.

It is like you may have a problem known as phimosis where you cannot retract your foreskin due to the tightness. Therefore, consulting a urologist who is a specialist in diseases of the urinary system and male reproductive organs is advisable step. They can make exact diagnoses and suggest verified cures. It is necessary to see a doctor to get his help with your issue and get the proper instructions.

Mastributio is wrong ya right How to Sperm counting increase

Male | 20

It is not wrong, and is actually considered a healthy activity. To increase sperm count, some lifestyle changes may be necessary, such as increasing exercise, reducing stress, eating a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. Additionally, some supplements such as zinc, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Folic Acid may help improve sperm count.
