I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed my semen looks brown, and I'm not sure if it's blood or something else. There's no pain when I ejaculate, but I still feel uneasy about it. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

Brown semen could indicate the presence of blood, which may be due to various reasons such as infections, prostate issues, or other underlying conditions. However, since you do not experience any pain when ejaculating, it is less likely to be a serious issue. I recommend you to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

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.
