I am being tested for Crohn's disease. I have very mild symptoms and a slightly elevated calprotectin. I haven't had any blood in my stool, just mild cramps and occasional diarrhea. If it is mild, how long before I am at risk for colon cancer, and could my symptoms indicate cancer already?

Is bleeding for 37 days straight normal, and is the associated pain and sweating also normal, for someone with PCOS?

For 3 months, I have been experiencing chronic severe pain in my chest, abdomen, and back, along with fatigue and dizziness. I've been to the ER twice and had a full cardiac workup, which ruled out cardiac issues. I've also been suffering from acid reflux for over 18 years and have taken Rabeprazole for over 10 years. Additionally, I have PCAS (dissecting cellulitis of the scalp) diagnosed in 2004. Has the chest pain been stable or has it gotten worse over time? What type of pain is it? Is there anything else in my medical history the Doctor should know?

I’ve had a constant, sharp, stabbing pain in the back of my leg for over a week now, which starts behind my knee and extends up to my rump. The pain worsens when I stand. I have been having other issues with my back, legs, and hip, but nothing like this. I recently had a bone scan and MRI of my back, which were normal. I am currently taking Tylenol arthritis, Gabapentin, and Duloxetine. What could be causing this pain, and what steps should I take to address it?

I am a 33-year-old male who has been frequently visiting escorts for the last 6 years, always engaging in protected vaginal sex with a condom but receiving unprotected oral sex. I recently had a gonorrhea infection treated, which was attributed to the unprotected oral sex. I am due for a health check-up and am experiencing anxiety, stabbing pains in various parts of my body, and headaches. I am concerned about possibly contracting HIV. What are the risks and should I be tested?

I have been experiencing major issues with my vaginal area for the past four months, which is affecting my sex life. I am 18 years old, on Augmentin Antibiotics for strep (25mg twice a day) and the mini pill, and have Reynaud's. I have had STD tests, which all came back negative. What could be causing my discomfort, and what can I do to alleviate it?
