I have a 6-week-old son with a hernia in his groin near his testicles. It has increased in size and sometimes gets a little red when it bulges out. He cries a lot and seems uncomfortable. Should he get surgery sooner, or should I wait until he is 4 months old?

I have mild stomach discomfort that sometimes requires twitching for relief, and my stool is usually mushy or comes out in ribbons, with occasional blood in the past. I eat fiber regularly and had normal bulked stool after eating cucumbers. What could be the cause of these symptoms?

I have prostate cancer that has returned to my pelvis bone, and my PSA reading is high. I had a radical prostatectomy 14 years ago and have been taking X-geva injections, Casodex, and Stracyt pills. My PSA levels fluctuate between 59 and 116. I feel fine and have no pains except for lower back pain likely due to osteoporosis. I have had radiation treatment on my pelvis, but I am not aware of the stage or grade of my cancer. I am looking for treatments that can help lower my PSA and control or eliminate the cancer, other than hormonal treatments. What other treatments are available?

My 14-year-old daughter has developed a slightly painful lump approximately 1.5 cm behind her right ear. There is also another smaller lump below it. Both lumps are round, hard, and feel bone-like. The larger lump has been present for over two years without causing any problems. Ten days ago, she received the MMR booster injection and the tetanus, diphtheria, and polio vaccine. Today, she discovered the smaller lump. Could the lumps be connected to the vaccines, or do you have any other ideas?
