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.
