Q: noticed that my meatus doesnt fully open when i urinate (man). it seems like the urine comes out the top and the bottom but not the middle. carefully opened it and cant see any obstruction. urine stream is straight. no pain. is this normal?

Urinary obstruction: If you're able to urinate without difficulty, it should not be a problem and it is not likely that you have an obstruction. I suspect this will resolve on its own.

Q: is a weak urine stream very serious? should i see a doctor?

Weak stream: Weak stream is never normal, even if not accompanied by any other symptom [like burning + frequency + fever + flank pain]. It should never occur as a single symptom in young people. In older men, 50yo above, it can be simply bigger prostate then normal [and always also harder instead of being really really soft and not squeezing onto the ureter].

Q: husband is having frequent urination,urinary stream that starts and stops,gets up frequently at night to urinate,what could it be?should he see a doc?

Maybe a UTI. : Those could be symptoms of a urinary tract infection in a man. He should go see a dr and have a urine analysis.

Q: i use insulin 4+ times a day sometimes i see blood where i inject what would happen if i accidently inject insulin in my blood stream, would my blood sugars drop to fast and to low, and i may blackout. i try not to but what if?

Not a worry: your breaking tiny skin vessels-won't get significant insulin into blood stream by doing so

Q: have had kidney stone in the past the last time my family doctor tested me .she said i had a trace of them but i should be able to pass them .but i don't think i able to to pass this one you can watch my stream of urine and see they are one trying to com

Water: Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. This will help in passing the stone and prevent formation of new ones. Wish you good health!

Question 1

i'm recently experiencing a variety of cognitive issues: -blurred vision (can't focus) -hard time keeping a consistent self-narrative -moving textures in my visual field -empty thought stream -ear pain/noise in dreams any ideas what's going on?

Accepted Answer

: It is impossible to make a diagnosis based on these symptoms. There could be a few things going on, a serious diagnosis cannot be ruled out. A full history and an exam, especially a neurological exam are needed - to begin with.

Question 2

what does it mean if i see streaming lights when my eyes are closed?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: Something new? See ophthalmologist to rule out retinal tear/detachment. Chronic? Likely normal.

Question 3

my urine stream is fine but when i ejaculate i see my semen stream is low. how can i make it normal?

Accepted Answer

Ejaculation: This is normal. Semen ejaculation is not like peeing.

Question 4

sometimes i see flickering stream of light on the corner of my eye. is this normal? what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

No: Flickering lights in your peripheral vision is caused by the vitreous jelly that fills the back of your eye tugging on the retina.  It occurs commonly, but you should be examined by an eye doctor.  Sometimes the vitreous tugging leads to a hole, which can cause a retinal detachment if not treated.

Question 5

0nce we become sick 
with any form of virus, does that virus cont. to stay present in our blood stream? can we see, thru bloodwork, how many we have?

Accepted Answer

VIRUSES=removed: Most viruses are removed by a healthy immune system after antibodies are produced to recognize them. It usually takes <1 week for viruses in the blood to be cleared. However, some viruses can escape and live in the body in various locations. E.G. Hiv can live in host white blood cells, herpes/chicken pox (varicella) viruses hide in nerve tissue. Hepatitis lives in liver, & virus is shed in blood.
