I have been experiencing frequent yeast infections for about 2 years, characterized by a cottage cheese texture and clumpy discharge, but no itching or burning. I have been taking Azo Yeast Plus Dual Relief, but the issue persists, especially after sexual intercourse. I am concerned about the cause and potential treatments for this condition.

My son has been diagnosed with cyclical vomiting syndrome (CVS). He is 17 years old, weighs 200 lbs, and is 6 ft tall. He has had three episodes of vomiting, with the last one lasting 8 days. He was prescribed Fluoxetine (10 mg) four years ago for depression/anxiety and recently had it increased to 30 mg by a GI specialist. He was also prescribed Periactin, which makes him sleepy. He has used marijuana occasionally but is not habitually. He is looking forward to going to college and is very sensitive and in tune with people and life. He had mono in January, which was initially misdiagnosed as a sinus infection, and later had a bout of diarrhea associated with salmonella. He is currently not anxious or stressed. What is the best approach to manage his CVS, considering his medical history and current medications?

My left hand became painful and swollen this afternoon. It’s still painful and hard to move. How long have you had the swelling? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the swelling? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have had a hemorrhoid for some time, and for the past 3 days, I have noticed blood in my stool. I have taken medication for it but no specific treatment. I am a male, and the burning sensation is only when using the toilet. What should I do?
