I'm a bit worried about my health and need some advice. Is a urea level of 12 mgdL considered very bad? What kind of medication should I be considering? Also, I'm a non-smoker, I don't drink, and I follow a vegetarian diet. Back in February, my triglycerides were 157, but now they're up to 216. This is surprising since I've lost 7 kgs through exercise and dieting. How could my triglycerides have increased despite the weight loss?

I'm dealing with something called polycystic and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some advice on what exercises or foods might help with this condition? I'm really looking for some guidance here.
Consult a doctor or urologist for proper guidance. They may recommend: 1. Topical creams or ointments to loosen the foreskin. 2. Gradual stretching exercises. 3. Preputioplasty (a minor surgical procedure). 4. Circumcision (as a last resort). Avoid forcing the foreskin back, as it can cause further injury and scarring.
