So, I went to get my beard shaved at a barber shop, and I noticed that the barber didn't change the blade. I ended up with a small cut too. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV transmission in this situation?

View allI'm really worried because I was bitten by a dog and someone mentioned it could be rabid. How long should I be on the lookout for symptoms of rabies to show up? I've heard it can vary. Can you tell me what the shortest and longest time frames usually are for most people?
Loose and painful testicles can be concerning. Possible causes: 1. Varicocele (enlarged veins) 2. Hydrocele (fluid accumulation) 3. Epididymitis (inflammation) 4. Testicular torsion (twisted spermatic cord) Nutritional deficiencies are unlikely to be the primary cause. The urologist's assessment and echo test results suggest no underlying structural issues. However, to alleviate symptoms, consider: 1. Wearing supportive underwear 2. Applying warm compresses 3. Managing stress 4. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle Schedule a follow-up with your urologist to re-evaluate and address any concerns.
