I am COVID-19 positive. How to manage it?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am deeply saddened by your illness. Have you already had a chest CT? Please have an eye on your breathing frequency. If you have more than 20 breaths per minute, you should seek hospitalization. As to the headache, unfortunately, COVID-19 can also enter the brain and cause inflammation there.

My serum iron levels are consistently high, but I have symptoms of iron deficiency. Why?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You need to consult an endocrinologist for having a high transferrin saturation greater than 50 percent. It creates non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) which is toxic and creates damage to certain cells in the body through an oxidation process. When your transferrin saturation is high, you should not take any iron supplements as it is poisonous. You need to do a test for mutations in your HFE (hemochromatosis) genes (C282Y, H63D, and others).

When I masturbate, some liquid comes out of my anus. Why?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. A liquid that flows out of your anus does not have any relation with your prostate fluid or semen. There is a more unlikely chance to have a painless condition when prostate fluid flows out through the anus. This symptom is never observed in healthy men. While masturbation, your anal muscle reacts unusually producing fluid from the bowel.

How to manage bump after a fall in children?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. Having a bump after falling from the sofa is not a cause for concern. I want to know whether your son has pain, bruising, bleeding, or signs of mental confusion, including abnormal sleepiness, unusual mood swings, blurred vision, feeling nauseous, and loss of appetite. If these symptoms are observed, then you need to take him to the doctor as soon as possible.

What causes red granules in the stool in a 29-year-old?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I truly can understand your worries. At just 29 years of age, you are normally too young for bowel cancer, but to rule out all risks, it would be a good idea to get a colonoscopy done if you have access to this level of health care. In addition, the tumor marker M2PK in the stool might also help to rule out serious causes like inflammation, etc. The most likely cause is hemorrhoids.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infections can occur through oral sex when the partner has a wound in the mouth or throat. There is a possible means. You have not mentioned the incident. If it has happened recently, a PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) therapy can be taken to be on the safer side.

What treatment helps my testicular discomfort and ED symptoms?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can very well understand how difficult this situation must be for you. What caught my attention is that you mentioned pain in the testicles. Sometimes the severe mistake is made to attribute testicular pain to some issue with the spinal disks or other neurological problems. In rare cases, the testicles themselves can be the source of the problem.
