I have a small umbilical hernia that doesn't hurt but feels weird. I'm wondering if I can still lift weights, jog, and do intense cardio with it. I've had a hernia before in the same area, and I'm about to get into the police academy, so I can't afford surgery until I graduate. What activities can I safely engage in without worsening the hernia or increasing the risk of complications?

I have white bumps on the upper part of my penis shaft, spaced out, and a bit red, with one small bump on the head. I don't take any medications and am 19 years old. What could these bumps be and what should I do?

I have been experiencing neck pain for about 10 days, which has spread to my right shoulder. The pain is constant and achey, with intensity varying when I take Tylenol. I am currently taking Amlodipine for high blood pressure and was prescribed Naproxen 500mg twice a day, Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride 10mg once a day at bedtime, and Tylenol Extra Strength 2 tablets if the pain is more. The pain seems to have worsened since starting Naproxen and has moved to my shoulder. What could be causing this and what can I do for relief?

What is this spot hanging in my throat? I just noticed it today. I am 32 years old and currently taking prenatal medication. The spot is like a little tiny flesh piece that hangs from the left upper part of my throat. I do get tonsil stones often. I have attached pictures for reference.

My wife developed 4 different bacteria after a fistula procedure due to her Myasthenia Gravis. The antibiotics are limited. Are her 4 different bacteria (E. coli, Citrobacter, Enterococcus, Morganella) contagious, and what antibiotics will get rid of them? Additionally, she has a rash on her arms after surgery. Is it safe for her to hold our grandchildren?
