I can feel my colon on the right side, it's hard and bloated like a balloon, and I have gas pains. The pain radiates to my right chest.

I'm in Mexico and have had digestion issues since arriving two weeks ago, including constipation, diarrhea, hemorrhoids that bleed, stomach cramps, and greyish stool. I return to Australia on 24 January and am unsure whether I need to see a doctor now or can wait until I return. What should I do?

I had cervical cryotherapy on Tuesday and since then, I've been experiencing random leg tingling/chills, a sore throat, a yellow fluid leakage, and cramps. I'm concerned if these symptoms are normal side effects of cryotherapy or if I could have contracted herpes from the doctor's possible lack of hygiene. Additionally, my urine smells and I'm certain I have a yeast infection. What could be causing these symptoms and should I be concerned about herpes or COVID-19?

I have been feeling extremely sleepy and tired between the hours of 1pm to 5pm almost every day for the last few weeks. Additionally, I have been experiencing nausea, light heartburn, and a bad taste in my mouth. I sleep okay at night but don't get a full 8 hours without waking up a few times. What could be causing these symptoms?

I have been experiencing abdominal pain for over a month, which radiates to my back and sometimes down to my groin. The pain is sometimes aggravated when I am about to use the toilet. I had a normal pelvic ultrasound four months ago. I am 22 years old and the pain is more in the lower abdomen. I also have constipation and occasional indigestion and reflux. Can you help identify the cause of my pain and suggest any treatments?
