I had bowel cancer surgery six months ago and have had cancer four times. My stomach is swollen all the time, sometimes feels very hard, and I have pain in the upper right side. I'm lethargic and tired, despite exercising every day. Could this be related to liver issues or cancer?

I have been experiencing vulvar pain on and off for three months. One side of my vestibule is particularly red and painful to the touch. I have been tested for all STDs, including a herpes blood test, and everything came back negative. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

I need to do a lactose intolerance test and the instructions say for the day before to eat low in fibre and fermentable short chain carbohydrates. What does this mean?

I've had bloating and nausea for the past 12 days. I've had a stomach x-ray and a CT scan which were both negative. I'm not constipated. Yet, my stomach is bloated and I'm nauseous. I'm 74 years old. I've been taking ondansetron every 8 hours for the nausea. I'm on several medications including levothyroxine, atorvastatin, citalopram, anastrozole, losartan, donepezil, cevimeline, dicyclomine, and omeprazole. I've been on these medications for years without side effects. I also have a history of IBS and have been on medications for it. Do I need to be on different medications for IBS? I thought that some of my medications were for that.
