I recently had a urine test that showed RBC 23 HPF, and I'm a bit concerned. I did an ultrasound and X-Ray KUB, and both came back normal. Been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I tried some homeopathy medicine for a month, and the results looked normal, but then another urine test a month later still showed RBC 23 HPF. What could be going on? I'm really worried and could use some advice.

The presence of red blood cells (RBC) in the urine can indicate various conditions such as urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your ultrasound and X-Ray KUB results were normal, it's important to address the burning sensation in your urine. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat any possible urinary tract infection that may be causing the symptoms. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine 200mg three times a day for 2 days to help relieve the burning sensation. It's also important to stay well-hydrated and avoid irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a urologist may be necessary.

View allI've been dealing with some issues related to urination and I'm worried it might be connected to my past habits. I started masturbating when I was 16, but I've stopped for over a year now. Even so, I'm experiencing night falls and a delay in urination. Could this be related to what I used to do, or might there be another cause? I'm really concerned and wondering what steps I should take to address this.
It's good that you've stopped the habit, but it may take time for your body to fully adjust. Difficulty with urination and nightfall can sometimes be related to underlying factors like stress, hormonal changes, or prostate health. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss potential treatment options.

I've been dealing with some issues since I was diagnosed with a kidney stone about 10 days ago. I took Tamsin medicine on the night of January 28th, and the next morning, I fainted and had really low blood pressure, like 9060. Since then, my systolic blood pressure's been high, between 140-160, even though I stopped taking the medicine. Its concerning because I also get numbness in my arms sometimes. Could you help me figure out whats going on? Here are some of my blood pressure readings: On January 29th, at 9 am it was 9060, then 16080 at 11 am and 3 pm, and 15080 at 7 pm. On January 30th, it was 13080 at 10 am and 15080 at 8 pm. Then on January 31st, it was 12480 at 9:30 am, and on February 2nd, it was 14080 at 4:30 pm. What should I do?
It seems like you may have experienced a side effect from the Tamsulosin medication, which is commonly used for kidney stones but can sometimes cause low blood pressure and dizziness. Since you have already stopped the Tamsulosin, but are still experiencing high blood pressure and numbness in your arms, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to manage your blood pressure by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I've been wondering about the effects of daily masturbation over many years. I'm 28 now, could this habit be lowering my testosterone levels? Also, are there other factors or things I should be aware of that might be causing low testosterone?
Daily masturbation does not significantly impact testosterone levels in a healthy 28-year-old. However, chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, obesity, and certain medical conditions (e.g., hypogonadism) can contribute to low testosterone levels. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormone balance.
