Hello, I’m 18 years old and have been into the Emergency room twice with pain in my vagina. It started out with just burning when I urinated but has since escalated into something else. The first trip I made into the ER, I was told I had a simple UTI. I was put on Cephalexin for 7 days but was told to return in 48hrs if my symptoms have not subsided. I ended up having more symptoms such as raw feeling, extreme tenderness, discharge, and swelling in my vagina. I returned back into the ER and was told I do not have a uti but they don’t know why I’m experiencing this. They did a vaginal exam and everything came back normal. What could possibly be going on?!
I’m concerned about this open sore on my face pictures are attached.
Dear Doctor
I have some problem with urination. After 5 minutes of drinking a glass of water or even some sips, I feel to quickly release the urine because it pressurizes my right side as shown in the attached picture. The red color and light red color shows the intensity of the pressure. After I finish releasing the urine, it still releases for 10-15 minutes in the form of drops. I need to frequently urinate. I am also going to attach my recent test reposts of LFT, RFT and Urine. I am worried about functioning of my kidneys.

I am a 35 year old male with no significant health issues. I recently have this rash ulceration on my arm and I want to make sure that it is not melanoma. Please help?
I am an 18 year old female. Just discovered a 4cm x 4cm cyst inside my left ovary via ultrasound. I have been in excruciating pain the last few months. The pain is very intense on my left side, and radiates in my lower back down my tailbone. I am constantly feeling full and eating makes me very nauseous. Whenever I eat, it feels like I overate and am on the verge of vomiting. I often feel bloated also. Lightheadedness happens frequently. It also causes me to lose use of my left upper leg at times. Exercise, especially running, causes a severe stabbing pain in my lower left abdomen. I have irregular periods, and often bleed for 2 or 3 weeks. I have never taken birth control pills & I am not sexually active.
~Will my ovary need removed probably?
~Could this be endometriosis?
~Should I be scared? (I am seeing an ob gyn soon)

I am 27 years old (male). 7 months back I suddenly felt numbness on my left side and tingling with darkness or blindness in my left eye which lasted for about 1 min (several times a day). I did CT Scan, MRI and EEG of brain and doctor told me I have migraine with aura/epilepsy and osteoma ostitis (3.2cmX1.9 cm) on Occipital bone. Numbness was bit controlled after continuing medication but these days it is happening frequently. Currently I’m under these following medicines:
– Topiramate 50 mg twice a day
– Gabapentin 300 mg twice a day
– Pizotifen BP 0.5 mg once in a night
– Thiamine Mononitrate + Pyridoxine Hydrochloride + Cyanocobalamin. Twice a day
But 1 month back I had fever for 10 days and since then I am experiencing vision problem which are flashes of light, check pattern with lights. I cannot read on white paper and feel comfortable to stay in dark. Retina specialist has confirmed that my eyes are alright. Also I suffer from severe headache sometimes.
I am confused whether this vision problem and numbness are related to the tumor or not and what should I do now? It will be highly appreciated if I could get any suggestion from you.
** I would also like to mention here that I’m a software engineer by profession for which I need to work with PC for 8-10 hrs a day X 7 days a week.
Kind Regards,
I am a 25 year old female. Physical therapy student, with no significant medical history. Not taking any medications. I have had this rash for about 2-3 months now. I typically get a couple small, super dry spots on my skin every winter, but this year those small spots grew much bigger. They are extremely itchy and have been keeping me up at night. Sometimes they are painful. I have been using Eucerin eczema relief which has sort of helped, but it’s still getting worse.
I’m 22 years old, male, I was diagnosed either mitrial valve prolapse in 2003 and I’m currently prescribed a 1mg tablet of ativan to take as needed to treat anxiety. My name is 9…).
Long story short, I’ve been having trouble with dizziness, feeling like totally disconnected, weird feelings in my head, can’t seem to get myself to focus and concentrate, etc. Just an overall troubled feeling in my head ever since I was diagnosed with an acute sinus infection/upper respiratory infection & possibly the beginnings of walking pneumonia and was given a course of antibiotics and a course of steroids. I forgot the dosages, I apologize for that.
1 month down the road I was told I had vertigo via some eye test he gave me with a light that i followed to show how they move (I dont know if that matters or helps) and fluid behind the ears. My doctor prescribed meclizine and it didn’t help at all and gave me heart palpitations besides.
Now we’re 2 months down the road and I’m still having trouble but then came all the lack of focus and concentration etc I described. Today I’ve gone to my doctor again and he says the fluid is mostly gone from my middle ear. He conducted a basic neurological exam along with that light test again and he claims I till have a little vertigo still. Also he claims I have nothing neurological to worry about. I’m still feeling worse somewhat and am still concerned.
My question is do you think 1) all of this could be connected to the vertigo or not so much??
2) do you think I should press for a CT scan or MRI just to be safe??
I admit I’m a hypochondriac but Ivery never experienced anything like this before. Now I’ve one some homework on like brain cancer and things like that. I haven’t threw up or lost the use of any limbs or anything like that but I’m still concerned there may be something brain related going on.
Do I have reason for concern because this has drawn out for over 2 months??
I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you and God bless.
It’s been a month and I am still suffering. It started with pining Needles like pain in my left chest and pain in hand. Got scared and did ECG and 2d Echo. This came back normal. Doctor suggested anxiety and acidity reflux and suggested the medicine for same. Things got improved and were feeling well after a week with medication. Then saw blood in the stool. Stool was normal yellow in color but few drops of blood in the pot. Stool color and shape was normal and not thinner or smaller. Doctor suggested hemorrhoid then has the medicine for same … After 4 to 5 day’s blood disappear and meanwhile gone throw test called sigmoidoscopy. This came back normal with no hemorrhoid or anal fissure or ulcer. Now I am again suffering with needles like pain in my right side abdomen and groin with some pain in back and also below last rib since three days. Please suggest..

I’m 35, myopia -7.00D. 4 months ago I was diagnosed with macular hole in my left eye. The surgeon said vitrectomy in my case might not be successful due to my age and myopia – is it still worth risking it?

I am a 36y/o Hispanic male, 6’2, 255lbs. I have HCV, asthma and chronic bronchitis. For the past 4 days I have had bad upper and lower GI cramps followed by a semi-soft bowel movement. The bowel movements occur approx 6-8 times daily. They first started off a normal yellowish-brown then turned a dark green color starting yesterday late afternoon. I did take some bismuth tablets but it’s just a temporary relief. Today I began to feel more nauseated and fatigued than usual. My body feels hot even though it’s cool to warm outside and I have the a/c running when in my truck, but I don’t have the chills. Could this possibly be a viral infection or bacterial? I have leftover sulfa antibiotics at home from a sinus infection I had earlier this year. Could they possibly help alleviate the problem

Lately I started to have social phobia as well and I am defenetely feeling depressed, low.My psychiatrist doesn’t want to prescribe any antidepressants for me, because she thinks it will trigger a manic phase.BUT my social anxiety is really bad, I can’t write and I can’t eat in front of others,plus I really feel very low lately( constant tiredness, a total lack of interest towards other human beings, a total lack of joy, very-very low self-esteem).
