I've been dealing with some lower back pain, and my doctor prescribed me Zerodol SP to take for two days. I took the pill after eating some fruits and salads, and now I'm a little worried if that might be an issue. Also, I've been on Zifi AZ, which is cefexime and azithromycin, for a urinary tract infection at the same time. Is it okay to take these meds after having fruits and salads, or should I be doing something differently?

View allI'm experiencing some discoloration on the glans of my penis and suspect it might be balanitis. I'm just unsure if I should see a urologist or another type of specialist. Could you advise on who would be the right doctor to consult for this issue?
For balanitis, you can consult a Urologist. They can prescribe you an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole to apply on the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry is important for recovery.

I'm really worried because I'm dealing with pain in the area between my testicles and rectum. I've noticed it's swollen, and when I touch it, the pain gets worse. Can you tell me what might be going on or what I should do to help it?
It sounds like you may have an infection or inflammation, such as **epididymitis** or **prostatitis**, which could explain the pain and swelling. I recommend avoiding pressure on the area, using warm compresses for relief, and consulting a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics.

I've noticed a red thin worm, kind of like a thread, when I pee at night. It's freaking me out a bit, and I'm itching with pretty frequent discharges. Plus, I have diabetes, so I'm worried if it's related. What should I do?
The presence of a thin, red, thread-like worm in your urine, accompanied by itching and frequent discharges, may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a parasitic infection like filariasis or schistosomiasis; as a diabetic, you're more prone to UTIs, so consult your healthcare provider or a urologist promptly for a thorough evaluation, including urine tests and possibly imaging studies, to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.
