My urobilinogen is brown on a urine strip, my specific gravity (SG) is high, and I have extreme bloating in the evenings for a couple of weeks. I have been hydrating for almost 24 hours, and my urine is now clear, but the urobilinogen remains the same. How many days should it take for my SG to be completely normal after being fully hydrated, and should the urobilinogen normalize as soon as the SG does, or do I need to wait more days? Additionally, what can I do about the extreme bloating in the evenings?

I experimented with banding my penis and left a band on for about five hours, causing my penis to turn purple, then yellow, and eventually grayish. It has been numb and cold for 7 days. How long should it take to be normal again, and what could be the worst-case scenario if I don't seek medical attention?

I found about 3 lumps overnight in my left breast. They hurt very much, are sore to the touch, my nipple is inverting, and I have a red half circle around my areola. I've also started getting a burning sensation in my belly button area. The lumps are directly under my areola and can be seen. I have no fever and generally feel well other than the constant pain. I am 30 years old, 3 years postpartum, and 1 year post-lactation. I had previous mastitis in the same breast when I was breastfeeding, but with mastitis, I had a fever, which I currently do not have. My breast feels heavier and looks larger than my other breast, and there is a hardening or fullness at the top of the breast. Should I go to my regular GP or the ER as the pain is becoming severe?

I'm on Cefdinir for strep throat and had unprotected sex while on the pill (Microgestin 1/20). Can I get pregnant?

My wife is pregnant, potentially 8 or 9 weeks, with HCG levels around 100,000 and good progesterone levels. She had a molar pregnancy 14 years ago and is worried about it happening again. She also had very mild, sporadic, and brownish red spotting. Is it likely to be a molar pregnancy?

I have been experiencing pain on my right side for over a month, above my hip and radiating to the back and front. I also notice increased urination, a larger-than-normal tummy, and occasional nausea. I've been taking Naproxen 500mg twice a day for 5 days, but the pain remains. What could be causing this and what should I do?
