I'm currently weighing 67 kg and have been on the AKT4 kit for about a month now, taking it every day. I recently went through the guidelines and noticed that the amounts of ethambutol and isoniazid I'm getting are lower than what's recommended for my weight. Specifically, it seems like my dose of ethambutol is 400 mg less and isoniazid is 300 mg less than what's suggested. Should I be worried about this affecting my treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis in epididymitis?

It's important to follow the prescribed dosage for your condition, as the dosages in the AKT4 kit are typically based on standard treatment guidelines. Since your weight requires slightly higher doses of Ethambutol and Isoniazid, discuss this with your doctor to ensure the treatment is effective and adjusted for your needs.

I've had this small pea-sized lump under my bottom left testicle since I was 15, and now I'm 25. It hasn't really grown, but recently, I've been getting this dull pain in that area. It's not constant but noticeable, especially last night when this sharp dull pain woke me up. I've experienced a bit of that dull pain today too. Could this be something serious, or should I be concerned?

Partial phimosis may be treated with steroid creams and stretching exercises.Seeing a urologist or sexologist can help determine if surgery is needed.Treatment may take several weeks.
