I've been having some stomach pain for the past few days, and at first, I thought it was just from heat or something, so I ignored it. But then, I noticed a small red worm in my urine the next morning, which really scared me. This morning, it happened again. I'm super worried now. Could this be dangerous to my health? And I'm really concerned about whether it might affect my fertility. Can you please give me some advice?

I'm kind of worried about my foreskin. It's become swollen and there are some cut-like marks on it. It's been like this for about a month now. Its difficult to move the foreskin back and there's a burning sensation when I touch the area. Could you suggest some medicine or what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm feeling concerned because I've been having a cold fever since my double J stent was removed from my kidney. Is it normal to experience a cold fever after this procedure, or should I be worried? My doctor mentioned it might be malaria since this type of fever isn't usually expected after stent removal. Could you help clarify what's going on?
