View allI'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?
The presence of a thin, red, thread-like worm in your urine, accompanied by itching and frequent discharges, may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a parasitic infection like filariasis or schistosomiasis; as a diabetic, you're more prone to UTIs, so consult your healthcare provider or a urologist promptly for a thorough evaluation, including urine tests and possibly imaging studies, to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.

I've been experiencing something a bit odd that I'm worried about. Sometimes when I urinate, I find myself short of breath, but it doesn't happen all the time. It's only occurred about 5 or 6 times, with the last episode happening around 5 months ago. I don't have any significant medical history, so I'm unsure what's causing this. I'm curious if there might be some remedies I could try at home, or if this is something serious enough to see a doctor about. If so, could you suggest what kind of specialist I should consult? Any advice would be really helpful.
Its possible that the shortness of breath while urinating could be related to a temporary imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like breathing and bladder control. However, it could also indicate an underlying issue like a heart condition or a urinary tract issue. Since it's been infrequent and you have no medical history, its advisable to consult a **general physician** or **cardiologist** for a thorough evaluation.
