I noticed something strange today while I was using the bathroom. There was a red thread-like thing in my urine, and I've never seen anything like it before. I don't have any pain, itching, or other problems, but it's got me a bit concerned. Any idea what this could be?

The red thread-like shape in your urine could be a blood clot, a urinary cast, or a thread-like piece of tissue; given the absence of pain, itching, or other symptoms, it's likely a harmless anomaly, but to rule out any underlying conditions, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or bladder issues, consult a urologist

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm having a bit of a situation. My foreskin doesn't seem to retract on its own when I'm erect, and I can't really pull it back manually either because it's too tight. I can pull it back fine when I'm not erect though. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

It sounds like you have phimosis, which is a common condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully during an erection. Regular gentle stretching exercises with a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor can help, but if it persists, consult a urologist to discuss further options like a minor surgical procedure (circumcision or preputioplasty).
