I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've developed multiple cysts on my left epididymis again. They were removed about three years ago, but now I can feel them coming back, and one of them is quite big, around 3cm by 2cm. It's not really painful, but there's definitely some discomfort. Should I be worried about these recurring epididymal cysts, and what might be causing them to grow back?

CT Value in COVID-19 RT-PCR Test

Interpretation

CT value: Cycle Threshold (CT) value represents the number of cycles needed to detect the virus.

Value of 21.27: A CT value of 21.27 indicates a relatively low viral load.

Implications

Infectivity: A lower CT value (like 21.27) may suggest a higher infectivity.

Treatment and isolation: Follow local health guidelines for COVID-19 treatment and isolation.

Next Steps

Consult a healthcare professional: Discuss your test results with a doctor to determine the best course of action.

Follow-up testing: Schedule follow-up tests as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Are bananas good for urinary tract infections (UTIs)?

Bananas and other fiber-rich foods are indeed good for preventing urinary tract infections. They aid proper bowel movement, which helps keep pressure off of the urinary tract. So urine flow is unobstructed, ensuring that bacteria build-up does not happen.

How can I tell if my phimosis is congenital or developed as an adult also does having phimosis mean I'm impotent and can congenital phimosis be treated with betamethasone cream instead of surgery

Phimosis, whether congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developing later in life), does not automatically mean you are impotent. Congenital phimosis can sometimes be treated with topical corticosteroids like betamethasone cream, but surgery may still be necessary.
