View allHey, I've been on Rosuvas F for about 3 months now and my triglycerides have gone down from 236 to 118, which is great. But over the last 20 days, I've noticed my RBCs, WBCs, and platelet counts have decreased, with my WBC dropping from 8200 to 4200. Could this be linked to the BP meds I'm on? My BP has improved from 160100 to around 10565 to 12580. Also, I found out from a USG scan that I have a fatty liver and a 2mm kidney stone. Another scan showed epididymitis with funiculitis. Should I be worried about this epididymitis with funiculitis and if yes, what kind of specialist should I see or treatment should I consider? Appreciate any advice.
1. Is there anything to do with BP tablets and reduced rbc, wbc? Or fatty liver? It is unlikely that the reduced RBC and WBC counts are directly related to your BP medication. However, the presence of fatty liver can contribute to abnormalities in blood cell counts. To address this issue, you may consider discussing with your doctor about switching to a different BP medication that is less likely to affect blood cell counts. Additionally, managing your fatty liver through lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can also help improve your blood cell counts. 2. Should I be worried about epididymitis with funiculitis, if so which specialist or what of treatment should I have? Epididymitis with funiculitis is a condition that involves inflammation of the epididymis and spermatic cord. It is important to seek medical attention from a Urologist for further evaluation and management. Treatment may involve antibiotics to address any underlying infection, pain management, and supportive measures such as rest and elevation of the scrotum. Follow up with the Urologist is crucial to monitor your condition and ensure appropriate treatment.

what are the best non-surgical treatments for phimosis besides stretching exercises i'm looking for options that don't involve surgery and want to know what actually works
For non-surgical phimosis treatment options beyond stretching, topical steroid creams and balloon dilation are commonly used. Steroid creams, like betamethasone or hydrocortisone, can soften and stretch the foreskin, often combined with stretching exercises. Balloon dilation involves inflating a small balloon under the foreskin to gradually stretch it, usually performed under local anesthesia. Good hygiene and addressing any underlying infections are also crucial

I'm really concerned about this swelling in my meatus. It's a dark blue color with some red dots. I've been seeing a surgeon for a while, and initially, they prescribed ciprofloxacin and some fungal medicine, but nothing has changed. I even tried more antibiotics, but it's been two weeks and still no improvement. My urine routine, culture, and ultrasound results all came back normal. What could be going on?
Reliable HIV testing after 6 years. The 4th generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) antigen and antibody test is highly accurate. Interpretation: 1. _Non-reactive result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies or p24 antigens. 2. _6-year window period_: Well beyond the recommended 3-6 month window for HIV testing after exposure. Nasal steroids: 1. _Unlikely to cause false negatives_: Steroids are not known to interfere with HIV tests. You can be reasonably confident in your HIV-negative status. However, consider: 1. _Other STIs_: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if you haven't already. 2. _Future risks_: Continue practicing safe sex and get regular HIV tests if you're sexually active. Consult your doctor or an HIV specialist for personalized guidance and confirmation.
