If an uninfected male comes into contact with infected female’s vaginal secretions during sexual activity, such as when a condom breaks, is there a high chance that the male would get Chlamydia? Additionally, how long does it take for Chlamydia to be transmissible to sexual partners once infected, and are there non-sexual ways of transmission?

I have been experiencing constant back pain for the past two months, along with sharp pain on my left side and occasional headaches. I am 31 years old, take triamterene and metoprolol for slightly elevated blood pressure, and have a desk job where I try to stay active. My back pain began during the pandemic when I was less active, and I have gained weight since then. What could be causing this pain, and what steps should I take to address it?

I recently went to the ER for a migraine attack. My CT angio came back normal, but my bloodwork showed an increase in LDL cholesterol from 113 in March to 146 in July, and a drop in hemoglobin, indicating mild anemia. What could these changes mean, and are they related?

Hello doctor, I have been having some issues with my typing lately (from about 6 months). I usually end up typing words in a hurry differently, interchanging alphabets. For example, instead of 'the', I most times write 'teh'. It may be because I type fast and it has become a habit. But I sometimes also forget where I am at the spelling. Halfway into the spelling, I don’t remember what part of the word I’ve already written. I usually am typing and not looking at the screen. Is there something wrong with this or normal? I’m 32 years old.
