I have bumps on my vagina. I currently have a UTI and had an open sore that went away after being swabbed multiple times, with all tests coming back negative. What could the bumps be and what should I do?

A 35-year-old male experiences blood clots and blood in his urine immediately after intercourse, but not after masturbation. This has occurred multiple times, despite abstaining from intercourse and undergoing various medical tests, including blood work, urine tests, CT scans, and a cystoscopy, all of which came back clear. The patient was prescribed doxycycline for a possible infection, but the tests were clear, leading to confusion. What could be causing this recurring issue?

I have a strange feeling under my left ribcage that feels like a gas or water bubble sloshing out when I lie back on the sofa. It sometimes feels like something is pinching and then releasing, especially during sit-ups. I've tried various remedies like abdominal massages, back massages, Simeticon, teas, and yoga exercises, but the feeling remains. It's independent of food and I have no other symptoms like pain, itching, night sweats, or unnatural weight loss. I had a gastroscopy in January and an ultrasound that showed no abnormalities. What could this sensation be and how should I proceed for a diagnosis?
