I'm a bit worried because my doctor just prescribed me Urimax 0.4 tablets, but I know it's typically meant for men. Can women safely take it too? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Urimax 0.4 mg is commonly prescribed for men to manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate, but it can also be prescribed for women in certain cases, such as for treating urinary symptoms related to bladder issues. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions. Potential side effects may include dizziness, headaches, or gastrointestinal disturbances, so it's essential to monitor for any changes. Always consult your doctor if you experience any discomfort.

I'm really worried because I've been having issues with frequent urination and my testes are really painful. I recently had some urine culture tests done, and they came back negative. Could it still be possible that I have chlamydia, even though the test didn't show anything? I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these symptoms.
Yes, it is possible to have chlamydia even if your urine culture test is negative. Chlamydia is often diagnosed through a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or a DNA probe test rather than a urine culture. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination and testicular pain, it is advisable to get tested specifically for chlamydia using a NAAT or DNA probe test. If diagnosed with chlamydia, the treatment involves a course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin or Doxycycline, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm 26 and just got married. A few months ago, I went to the urologist because I was having pain in my testicles, and they said I have a bilateral grade 2 varicocele. They suggested taking ibuprofen whenever it hurts but also mentioned it could affect fertility. The doctor said if my wife and I don't conceive within a year, I might need to consider surgery. Lately, I've been feeling some pain after intercourse and during bowel movements, and even when I touch my testicles, it hurts a lot. Plus, I've been having digestive problems, waking up with gas and loose stools in the morning. I'm wondering if any alternative medicine might help with all this. Do you have any advice or suggestions?
it's better to get operated for varicocele, follow your doctor advice do not neglect.and maintain healthy lifestyle.
