My 16-year-old daughter, Lauren, has a serious seizure disorder and takes multiple medications daily. Recently, she has been sleeping excessively, only getting up to eat or use the restroom once a day, and has developed a problem with her left eye appearing half-open. She has had seizures daily, sometimes four to six times a day, and her last EEG showed abnormal lines, but her CT scan and MRI showed no brain abnormalities. Her seizures originate from three different parts of her brain. She has been on the same medications for over a year but has never exhibited these symptoms before. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

My wife stood up into a cement ceiling and seems to have given herself a concussion. I'm afraid she might have a broken skull. Are there any symptoms or complications we should be aware of?

I'm fifty years old and have noticed an enlarged vein on my penis. It doesn't hurt, there's no trouble with urinating, and there's no physical discomfort, but I'm concerned about it. Should I see a doctor, and if so, what type of doctor should I consult?

I had my period on the 11th of August. Now I am very lightly bleeding again since the 30th of August, sometimes brownish, pinkish, and light red. I wasn't supposed to start my period until around the 10th or 11th or later of September (this month). What could this mean?

I got off birth control on June 30 and started my period on July 2, which was earlier than expected. Since then, my husband and I have been using the pull-out method. I should have started my period today based on a 28-day cycle, but I haven't. I've been feeling queasy, bloated, and have had more trips to the bathroom. I also can't sleep well at night. I took a pregnancy test but it was negative. Could it be wrong?

I've been experiencing symptoms of a bladder infection, including frequent urination, left lower back pain, mild burning sensation, and dark urine when not drinking enough water. I've been taking bactrim 800mg for three weeks but the symptoms persist and now I have a low fever. I'm a 42-year-old female with no significant health problems except panic anxiety attacks. Should I be concerned about a kidney infection, and what should I do next?
