I had to irrigate my Foley catheter for the second time this week (Monday was the first day) and it was also the third time this month. I am almost out of the irrigation fluid I am supposed to use. I have an appointment to get a monthly catheter change on Wednesday. Do you think I should be okay for four days or should I go to the ER and get it irrigated professionally?

My friend just popped his Achilles playing pickleball. What should we do? We have ice on it. Should we go to the emergency department?

What is the cause of my sore throat, which started 2 days into a fever and body aches, and is mainly experienced in the afternoon? I have a history of post nasal discharge and LPR, and I'm not sure if this sore throat is due to the cold or LPR.

I'm 23 years old and think I'm suffering from ED. I used to do a lot of prone masturbation for 6 years from age 14 to 19. My ED has been bad, and I only get erections when I'm laying down. The longer I go without ejaculating, the better the erection, but it's still soft. I don't take any medication, only drink or smoke on special occasions, and have stress and anxiety. I was thinking maybe it was a venous leakage since I have position-dependent ED. I recently got a sonogram, but it only checked my balls area, not my penis. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I have been concerned about an unspecified infectious disease for 2 months. My doctor says I have active mono, but I don't feel any symptoms. I am 56 years old and not currently using any medications. What does it mean if I have active mono without symptoms, and what do my lab results indicate?
