I am under PPI treatment for gastritis. I sometimes have discomfort under my right ribcage, and I also have slow digestion and IBS (not severe). My liver has a normal ultrasound image and normal enzyme levels. Can indigestion cause this discomfort, or what else could be the cause?

My 13-year-old daughter with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes has been experiencing frequent bloody noses, about twice a month for the last year or two, mostly in fall and summer. Is this normal or concerning?

I have external hemorrhoids that started on Monday morning. I increased my fiber intake and water consumption and noticed blood for the first time yesterday. I bought Preparation H but haven't seen a doctor. I also recently started taking pills for acid reflux. What should I do for the hemorrhoids?

I am an 82-year-old female who suffered a broken leg and a broken left shoulder at the same time. My leg is pinned, and I get Synvisc injections about every 6 months. I am having a lot of discomfort behind the left knee, especially when sitting for extended periods on a straight chair. What could be causing this discomfort, and what can I do about it?

Hello, I have a question about my period after getting off Nexplanon and if I could be pregnant. I have only had super light spotting since removal (removed Oct 6, spotting was from Oct 8-11) and no period since. I have had 1 positive pregnancy test on the 7th or 8th of November but all other tests before and after have been negative.

I’m worried about high-risk HPV. It’s my understanding it doesn’t clear itself. I have never had genital warts. I have had 2 cervical scrapes since the encounter in November 2014. The most recent was in December 2020, and there hasn’t been any sexual activity since then. Is it okay to be sexually active moving forward with a new person? Should I be worried about anything? I had STD testing, and there were no issues.
