I developed a swollen uvula (uvulitis) after a bad case of viral pharyngitis that turned into a bacterial infection. The uvula is now slightly larger than normal and may be touching the back of my tongue, but I have no trouble breathing or swallowing. Is it possible for the uvula to stay enlarged after a throat infection, and do I need to see an ENT specialist?

On my pathology report, it stated '1.2cm tumor disrupted in inflamed frayed in external capsule'. Is that anything to be concerned about, and what does it mean for my prognosis and quality of life?

I am concerned about the statement in the comment section referring to 'the disruption may be the result of surgery'. When I went to get a second opinion from another urologist, he told me that may or may not be a concern, referring to a possible spill of cancer cells. What is your opinion?

I have been experiencing right upper quadrant pain for over 4 years, which sometimes occurs with alcohol consumption and sometimes out of nowhere. I had my gallbladder removed due to sludge, and a CT scan showed fatty liver, but my liver function tests are currently normal. I also have colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. What could be causing my pain, and what additional tests should I consider?

I need help interpreting my blood work results. My total calcium level was 10.6 mg/dL, and follow-up tests showed some levels out of range. I am transgender (male-to-female) and on Spironolactone and Estradiol. Can you provide insight into what might be going on?
