Seek medical attention from a urologist or a primary care physician as soon as possible.

Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, and refrain from sexual activity until you receive a proper evaluation and guidance.

Accepted Answer

Your bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, which could indicate mild liver stress or Gilbert's syndrome, especially since you recently had jaundice. Focus on hydration, a liver-friendly diet, and avoiding alcohol or heavy medications. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to fatigue; supplements will help. Elevated lymphocytes and low basophils may be a transient immune responseno immediate concern but monitor if symptoms persist.
