I am a 36-year-old male who recently experienced an upset stomach, followed by an explosive bowel movement with some blood. My stomach remained unsettled for a few days but then improved. I am concerned about colon cancer, but I have no family history of it or inflammatory bowel diseases, no weight loss or appetite loss, and no constipation. I had a stool and blood test which came back normal. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about colon cancer?

I'm taking spironolactone and know I'm not supposed to consume too much potassium. I found a creamer I want to try (So Delicious Original coconut) with potassium citrate listed in the ingredients. Do I need to worry about consuming it?

I have abdominal pain in the upper left side, headache, difficulty urinating and evacuating, joint pain, and lower back pain. How long have you had the back pain? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the back pain? Is there anything else in your medical history that the Doctor should know?

I have a painful bump on the outside of the lip of my vagina. It doesn’t have any redness, rashes, pus, or discharge. I had one in the exact same spot a few months ago but it went away. What could this be and how can I treat it?
