Question

I have been dealing with a 5mm kidney stone and Im not sure what steps to take to manage it. Also, I have PCOD with an ED of 21mm, and Im struggling with irregular periods. I weigh 63 kg and my height is 51 cm. My doctor advised me to lose weight, but Im not sure if thats the right step or if there are more serious issues I should be worried about. Can you guide me on how to tackle these health concerns?

A 5mm kidney stone can often pass with increased water intake (3-4 litersday). PCOD and irregular periods improve significantly with weight loss, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. Losing 5-7% of your body weight can regulate periods and reduce complications. It's not serious yet, but consistent effort is key!

Question

I've got a situation that's been on my mind. I ended up having paid sex with a woman who said she wasn't a professional. We used a condom, but later I realized there was a small hole in it. This really got me worried, so I went for an HIVDUO IVth Generation test just to be sure. I had sex on the 17th of March and I got tested on the 19th. The result mentioned that it's non-reactive with a value of 0.32 unit SCO. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

Question

I've noticed a red thin worm, kind of like a thread, when I pee at night. It's freaking me out a bit, and I'm itching with pretty frequent discharges. Plus, I have diabetes, so I'm worried if it's related. What should I do?

Question

I've got this little red spot right where my foreskin ends and the head of my penis begins, and it's been giving me some pain when I touch it. Sometimes it seems to spread to other areas on the head. Its starting to worry me a bit. What do you think could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
