HCG normal value?
7 hours ago in the Urology Expert Forum
Usually the "blue dot sign" is associated with significant pain and in some cases, swelling. It represents a twist of a small, non-functional structure that hangs off the testis or epididymis. The ultrasound would not demonstrate the color of this. If it was a doppler ultrasound, the color represents blood flow. A follow-up Beta HCG and a repeat scrotal ultra...

Your bladder capacity may have already increased since your bladder distention. Also, if you are having uninhibited detrusor contractions, then a drug such as oxybutinin may allow your bladder to expand. Otherwise, surgery to enlarge your bladder would be the next step, and one which should not be done unless absolutely necessary. It is not a small procedure ...

In spite of the fact that "bacteria" were felt to be present, the most important test is a urine culture. The urin...
Unexplained Blood, High White Count. Enlarged Lymph Nodes.

I, too, am concerned about a cancer. The lymph node biopsy makes sense and may provide important information. With blood in your urine I expect that you'll need a CT Urogram or just a renal protocol CAT scan of your abdomen and pelvis as well as a cystoscopy (looking inside your bladder with a small lighted telescope) no matter what the biopsy reveals. A syst...
Epididitymitis

from just examining yourself! No, I do not think that this type of epididymitis will affect your testicles. You might benefit from a course of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen if your discomfort persists. Avoid having ejaculations/orgasms until things are back to normal.
