I sometimes experience bad breath, especially when I'm hungry or in the morning after fasting. I can't chew gum due to braces, and I'm concerned about how this might affect my future relationships. What can I do to prevent or manage this issue?

I had an upper endoscopy today for follow-up, and the biopsy results will take a couple of days. I am experiencing stomach discomfort, especially at night, and coughing when I lie down. I also have discomfort in the rectum that somewhat relieves after evacuation. Can the rectal discomfort be related to the hemorrhagic spots found during the endoscopy, or is it something else?

I'm a 70-year-old man who had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery in August 2022. Six weeks after surgery, I had an incident where my dog jumped up and hit my left testicle, causing it to move into the hernia area. The pain has not subsided, and an ultrasound showed fluid buildup around the testicle and connective tissue to the abdomen. The pain is constant, more severe during masturbation, and ranges from achy to stabbing. I have not experienced nausea, bloating, or changes in stool. What should I do?

I have a pain behind my pubic bone that at times is very sharp stabbing hot pain. I had a complete hysterectomy in 2003. I have no insurance and will have Medicare in October. Should I be concerned?
