Question 1

I've been having this burning sensation when I pee, mostly in the mornings. It's way worse if I've had alcohol the night before. I've had my urine checked a couple of times, and there was a small infection. But if it's an infection, why isn't it going away? Its been nearly a year now. What could be going on with me?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy Despite "Safe Days"_

1. _Ovulation variability_: Ovulation can occur at different times each month, making it difficult to predict exact "safe days."
2. _Sperm longevity_: Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, increasing the chances of fertilization.
3. _Fertilization window_: The fertilization window can last up to 24 hours after ovulation.

_Sylate (Contraceptive Pill) and Pregnancy_

1. _Single pill omission_: Missing a single pill, even if it's the only one, can increase the risk of pregnancy.
2. _Hormonal imbalance_: The contraceptive pill works by regulating hormones. Missing a pill can disrupt this balance.

_Next Steps_

1. _Confirm pregnancy_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy.
2. _Prenatal care_: Begin prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
3. _Discuss birth control options_: Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control options for future use.

Question 3

My dad has borderline prostatomegaly his ultrasound showed an enlarged prostate at 31x38x34 mm with a volume of 224cc but no focal lesions. He had TURP surgery back in 2009. Is TURP needed again or are there other treatment options we should consider?

Accepted Answer

For a case of borderline prostatomegaly, with a prostate volume of 224cc and a prior TURP, a repeat TURP may not be the first course of action. Other treatment options, like watchful waiting, medications, or even a different surgical procedure, should be considered. The best approach depends on the severity of symptoms and other factors
