I’ve had a few female patients who report burning and itching after sex almost immediately after sex. They were all convinced they had an allergy to semen. I’d say 95% of the time, it’s BV. The alkalinity of the semen reacts with the abnormal bacter... |

Obviously you should do what you can to avoid taking them. Presumably he won’t be watching you take the drunks every day? Just empty the packets one tablet at a time and dispose of them

Concerned (33F)about red spots on breasts
Hello- I am worried about some red spots that have been appearing on my breasts- the primary one being encompassing the side of one of my nipples and a little outside. My mom didn't have breast cancer, but my grandmother's did, and aunt (paternal) did in her late 30s. I hope... | 3.5 | **Physician**: This looks dermatologic to me, especially since it's fluctuating. Most likely a contact dermatitis. Make sure you haven't been using any new bras, clothing, pasties, soaps, detergents, etc.
Have you done a self exam? This would be a very unusual presentation for breast cancer. That being said, it is pro... |

Fish bone stuck in my throat.
I am a 38yo male, approximately 230lbs from Tennessee. I had salmon last night. The last bite I think had a bone in it which is now stuck in my throat.

If this happened very recently, like within an hour or so, consider that you may be getting paranoid from the weed itself. |

How do I tell if it’s a yeast infection or “jock itch”? 32F

It was like a red dry raised irritated rash versus what I know as girls yeast... | 4 | **Physician**: You should see a dermatologist. The fact that it took months to clear up while you treated it with an antifungal product intended for jock itch suggests that it wasn't a fungal infection. The yeast infection cream is also an antifungal medication.
The rash might be psoriasis or eczema or a fungal infec... |

You probably won't burst your colon with water like that, it can handle a fair bit of pressure. And you'd experience sharp and intense abdominal pain if you did so probably wouldn't be asking here. |

I (23F, 140 lbs) lost the string to my tampon and can’t get it out. I can touch the tampon enough to feel it in there but my fingers aren’t long enough to pull it out. What do I do??? | 4 | **Physician**: I’m glad you were able to retrieve it, but in the future, if a tampon gets stuck (or you lose it and are unsure if it’s still inside your vagina), you can always go to your physician and ask for an exam.
It’s nothing to be embarrassed about and happens regularly. A tampon can not get pushed into the u... |

I am F25, around 8st (I don't weigh myself due to history of anorexia nervosa), don't drink, smoke cigarettes (have cut down, do not ... | 4 | **Physician**: Medically he may or may not have been justified in not doing all the initial tests - one-stop clinics usually book you in assuming you’ll need everything even if that’s unlikely to be the case. And your urologist is probably a better judge of that than the GP.
However, the way you were spoken to is biz... |

I live in a first world country, so I’m up to date with vaccines, and I’m pretty sure I can... | 4 | **Physician | Top Contributor**: Wtf. While plague is unlikely, animal bites are frequently full of bacteria. What do you want us to say?
“Yeah man, being lazy is a good reason to not go to a doctor when a wild animal bites you” - an imaginary doctor

A 'cut' could represent an anal fissure though those tend to be painful. If you're having large amounts of fresh blood, it could be a haemorrhoidal bleed.

Weird feeling when swallowing - ALS?
Hey guys, I’m a 24 y/O male and I’m concerned I might have ALS. A week and a half ago I noticed that when swallowing just normally , it feels a little heavier in my throat. It doesn’t hurt, but it just feels a little different. I can eat food and drink good, however I eat fast som... | 5 | **Physician | Moderator | Top Contributor**: When you tell me you are thinking that you have ALS, it makes me wonder if you have health anxiety? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is extremely rare.
Try to eat slower.
This is *not* at all likely ALS. |
Could this be a sign of a blood clot?
I’m a 31 year old male who weighs 193 lbs and is 5 foot 9 inches. I was on estradiol 4 mg a day for 3 months and stopped a week ago. 2 weeks ago I ran for 45 min 2 days in a row and then my left calf muscle hurt. I then didn’t work out for a week but it was moderately sore. Then... | 6 | **Physician**: If you ran after a break it would be normal that your muscles hurt, if your calf isn’t swollen and painful it’s unlikely you have a deep vein thrombosis or a blood clot. If you want to be absolutely sure, negative D-Dimer and/ or leg vein ultrasound could rule it out

Why does a hot shower work better than any OTC cold medication?

My 2 year old incumbent plague rat (whom I cherish more than anything on this earth) gave me a nasty head cold which has combined with seasonal allergies to make... | 5 | **Physician**: Hot steam loosens up your mucus and cleans your sinuses. OTC medications very rarely help as you stated. Saline sprays and hot showers are the best. |

My pain was intense at first (I blacked out very briefly) but i... | 1.5 | **Physician**: You should go to hospital, sooner rather than later as you might limit available treatments (ie surgical) if you delay.
**Physician**: Yes ortho on call will suffice - I’d be concerned about tendon rupture which would fit comfortably within their territory. |

Lately it's been bothering me mostly on my neck so I focused the gun on the back and front of my neck and ... | 6 | **Physician**: Depending on exactly where you were firmly holding the massage gun, you may have temporarily compressed an artery resulting in decreased blood flow to the brain. This would resolve on its own after you released the pressure. The symptoms of this can cause anxiety - but I would assume you feel better at t... |

I had been experiencing ear pain for a week, so I went to an urgent care clinic. The doctor told me that although my ear didn’t look infected, it looked “angry” and I should call her back in 3 days if it didn’t get any better.

I am 33 Male. I was pressing my 2 fingers really deep into my side abdomen today where the soft part is, and then at the same time, I felt a sensation of dull pain around my liver area.

It's not an emergency and it may end up being nothing (for example, could just be food poisoning that also causes bleeding) but the fact that it seems to be more blood than diarrhea is concerning.

Appearing and disappearing fever
My, F18, temperature has been rising on and off. Last week it rose to 37°c, now it's 37,2°C. My temperature usually is around 36,4°, so even this slight change has an affect on me. I didn't catch a cold (I think so). So why could this be happening? | 6 | **Neonatal Nurse Practitioner**: That doesn't qualify as fever - don't measure your temperature if you aren't sick. There's lots of normal variation in temperatures
**Physician - Pulmonary and Critical Care**: These are all normal temperature measurements. |
