White Cells in the Urine With a Negative Culture: What Sterile Pyuria Actually Means

A urine test showing inflammation but growing no bacteria is not a failed antibiotic — it is a signal to look elsewhere. The two causes most often missed are a sexually transmitted infection and urinary tuberculosis.

Uric Acid Stones: The One Kidney Stone That Can Be Dissolved

Uric acid is the only stone that medication can actually dissolve. What that involves, why the stone type has to be proven first, the blood-potassium caution nobody mentions, and why these stones say something about your metabolism.

Paraphimosis: A Trapped Foreskin Is an Emergency — Go Now

A retracted foreskin that will not come forward tightens by the hour. It needs reducing the same day, not the next morning — and the commonest cause of all is a foreskin pulled back for a catheter and never put back.

Circumcision Stapler vs Conventional Circumcision: How They Compare

La cucitrice è più veloce, sanguina meno e fa meno male — e costa meno, è adatta a un minor numero di uomini e ha un proprio profilo di complicanze. Un confronto onesto anziché un verdetto.

Short-Acting vs Long-Acting Testosterone Injection: How the Choice Is Made

Two injectable testosterone preparations, two quite different propositions. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains how short-acting and long-acting testosterone injections differ, why only one of them can ever be given at home, and why the choice is a clinical decision rather than a menu.

HPV Testing in Men: What a Urine PCR Can Tell You, and What It Cannot

A urine sample instead of a swab, detecting 21 HPV types. Before asking for one, it is worth knowing that there is no screening programme for men, no treatment for a positive result, and that most infections clear by themselves.

The IPSS Explained: What Your Prostate Symptom Score Actually Means

The IPSS is the number that decides whether prostate symptoms are watched or treated. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains what the seven questions cover, how the score is banded — and why the single question scored separately at the end often matters more than the other seven combined.

HPV Vaccination for Men: What It Protects Against, and What It Does Not

The nine-strain vaccine has effectively replaced the four-strain one. What it covers, why men benefit and not only their partners, and the two things it cannot do — clear an existing infection, or treat warts you already have.

Valutazione della Disfunzione Erettile: Il Questionario IIEF-5

The IIEF-5 takes two minutes and tells you how severe your erectile dysfunction is. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone provides the full questionnaire with scoring — plus the two things the score cannot tell you, one of which can matter more than the erection itself.
