Hi Dr. for the past three months I have been passing very yellowish urine. During this period I feel feverish and fatigue. I am  28 year old young man; height-5.4ft;weight 60kg. I also experience scrotum pains. I suspect I have an infection from my girlfriend. Please advise me.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Fever, yellow urine and fatigue for 3 months requires detailed investigation. It is important to do a complete blood count and basic tests to know if you are having any chronic infection. You might have to do liver function test and get ultrasound scan abdomen done to know if there is any infection in the liver which is causing yellow urine. There are many conditions which can cause such symptoms and if there is persistent fever and burning urination then a blood culture and urine culture is suggested. Scrotum pain requires clinical examination and ultrasound scan to know any problem in testis. If the scrotum pain is relieved by lying down then it is an infection. It is important to know if the scrotum pain is from an infection or any other reason. If required then it is better for your partner to get tested for any infection that has been found in you and use condoms during sex. Please do not worry.
