I'm really worried because after I use the bathroom, I feel this painful burning sensation, and I've noticed a bit of blood too. What could be causing this?

It can be due to UTI. . These happen when bacteria get into the tube through which urine leaves the body, called the urethra. Then the bacteria multiply in the bladder. UTIs can cause bleeding that makes urine look red, pink or brown. So visit urogolist for further needful investigation and evaluation

12-hour fasting requirement for a lipid profile test is necessary because: 1. _Food consumption affects lipid levels_: Eating can increase triglyceride levels, which can skew the test results. 2. _Fasting ensures accurate triglyceride measurement_: Fasting for 12 hours allows for accurate measurement of triglycerides, which is essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like hypertriglyceridemia. 3. _Fasting helps stabilize lipid levels_: Fasting helps stabilize lipid levels, ensuring that the test results reflect your usual lipid profile. _Drinking water during fasting:_ Yes, you can drink water during the 12-hour fasting period. Water does not affect lipid levels, and staying hydrated is essential. _What to avoid during fasting:_ 1. _Food and beverages_: Avoid consuming any food, juice, coffee, tea, or other beverages except water. 2. _Supplements and medications_: Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you're taking, as some may need to be stopped or adjusted before the test.

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.
