I had blood work done a month ago with normal results, except for a borderline bilirubin level of 1.2. I started taking Tramadol (no Tylenol mix) and noticed my stools have turned yellow in the past two days. An ultrasound showed no issues. What could be causing the yellow stools, and should I be concerned given my history of alcoholism and current medications?

The yellow color of your stools is unlikely to be directly caused by Tramadol, as it is not typicall...

I am a 29-year-old female with no significant health history other than acid reflux and anxiety. I had a baby 16 months ago and have been experiencing intermittent left upper abdomen pain for the past 8-10 months, sometimes sharp, sometimes burning, and sometimes localized to a tender point. I've had nausea and back pain, but not consistently. I've had a RUQ ultrasound and an EGD, both negative, and the GI doctor suggested it's stress-related. I'm concerned it could be pancreatic cancer due to weight loss and low WBC count. I work in an urgent care and am a new mom, which adds to my stress. I'm scared something is being missed and want to feel better.

I have several vertical tears on the head of my penis that won't heal. I've been using Calmoseptine prescribed by a local doctor, but he is unsure what it is. I've tested negative for STDs over the past year. The tears magnify when my penis is erect. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My husband sprayed Tilex in our bathroom and left it while we went out for the day. We came home 8 hours later and our basement apartment smelled very strongly of Tilex. We slept in a hotel. Upon our return home, I noticed that the heavy-duty cleaner in a plastic bottle ate through and leaked. The apartment smells, and we have windows open. We have a 10-month-old who spent an hour in the apartment before I took him out. What signs should I be looking for if he or I were exposed to too much cleaning products?

I recently took a zero tolerance drug screen for pre-employment. I smoked marijuana 17 days ago and four times a week prior to that, but no marijuana use for 17 days. The test is for urine. What are the chances of a positive result given the cut-off for THC is 20 instead of the normal 50?

I got some lab results back and I'm worried about what they mean. I have no symptoms and no questionable medical history. Here are my results: WBC 3.1 (reference range 4.0 - 11.0), Segmented Neutrophils 36 (reference range 40-85), Lymphocytes 54 (reference range 10 - 45), Absolute Neutrophil 1.1 (reference range 1.6 - 9.3), Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy, Total 26.5 (reference range 30.1 - 100). Should I be worried?
