I was diagnosed with a yeast infection back in November, and since then, they have been recurring and getting worse. The discharge has become thicker and more paste-like, sometimes appearing yellowish but mostly white and thick. I have vulvar irritation, and my boyfriend also has irritation with red spots but no pain, itching, or burning when he pees. I've been treated with terazol, fem ph, monistat, and diflucan, but the infection keeps coming back. I'm worried it might be something other than a yeast infection. Can yeast infection treatments clear the infection temporarily but then return? Could it be another type of infection, or is it just a resistant strain of yeast?

My dad ate dinner at 4pm and isn't hungry. How should he take his Metoprolol SUCC ER 50mg, Losartan Pot 25mg, Simvastatin 40mg tonight? Can he take them on an empty stomach? Should he take some peanut butter with the pills, and is it okay for him to lie down right after taking them if he has a history of reflux?

I am experiencing shaking, stomach pain, diarrhea, cold sweats, and nausea. I am scared and worried it might be appendicitis. What could be causing these symptoms and how long should I expect them to last?

I fractured my sternum 15 years ago in a high-speed car accident. While most of the time the pain is minimal, I sometimes experience extreme pain, especially in cold weather or after sitting or lying in certain positions for too long. The pain often 'pops' before subsiding and is still tender to the touch. Is there anything that can be done, or is this something I will have to deal with? If I should see a doctor, what type?

I woke up with my right wrist swollen and in extreme pain, and it has now been a month with no improvement despite seeing five doctors. I'm also experiencing the same issue with my left ankle, and the pain is so severe that I have to take narcotics just to function. They have given me steroid shots and I have been on medications for three weeks, but I'm still not getting better. What further tests should I consider, and how can I manage this situation without insurance?

I have brown stringy discharge coming from my clit area. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and there are sometimes big gross clots that seem to have mucous on them. I have had an ultrasound at 14 weeks and another booked at 17 weeks, but no one can explain the clots that are at times 2x the size of a quarter. I've been spotting for weeks and my lower abdomen down into my vagina hurts when I roll over in bed or cough or sneeze. What could be causing this and what should I do?
