I'm feeling a bit concerned because I recently had a fever and cold, and even after recovering, I had some lingering symptoms like a headache and weakness. My blood test came back normal, but I'm puzzled about my urine test results. It shows that my pus cell count is 10-15 cellsHPF and epithelial cells are 2-3 cellsHPF, which seems higher than normal. All my other results are within the average range. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take next? I've attached a screenshot of my test results for reference.

Based on your urine test results showing an elevated pus cell count, it indicates the presence of inflammation or infection in your urinary tract. To address this issue, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin. Additionally, it is important to increase your fluid intake to help flush out the infection. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My pee hole got torn and it's not healing even though there's no pain. Should I see a sexologist or get penis surgery to fix this? It's been like this for a while and I'm worried it won't heal on its own.

would need a picture and an examination

I've been having this really uncomfortable pain on the left side of my scrotum, and it feels like it's hanging more than usual. It's so bad that it's making it hard to sit or walk properly. I saw two doctors already, and they gave me medicine, but nothing's helping. Can you tell me what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?

yes you can

The head of my penis is super sensitive and hurts when I touch it, especially near where the secretion comes out. There's also a vein attached to the head that makes it impossible to pull back the foreskin, so I'm scheduled for surgery. I'm wondering if there's any way to reduce the sensitivity of the penis head after the procedure

It sounds like you're experiencing phimosis and possibly balanitis, which can cause sensitivity and pain on the head of the penis. Since you're scheduled for surgery, it's good to discuss potential ways to manage sensitivity after the procedure with your doctor. Here's some general information that might be helpful:
