I have been experiencing body odor, particularly a fish-like odor, for about two months. I have seen a doctor who found nothing, and I have noticed that my shirts smell bad after wearing them. I used to have bad digestion and often ate pork, goat meat, and fried plantains late at night. I wear good perfume and deodorant, but the odor persists. What could be causing this and how can I address it?

I tested positive for Trichomonas vaginalis and was prescribed three antibiotics for it. At the same time, I was diagnosed with conjunctivitis and given antibiotic eye drops. My eyes have worsened since Wednesday. Are these conditions connected, and what suggestions do you have for managing them?

I am 41 and have uterine fibroids. My boyfriend mentioned that every time we have sex, there's a sticky, slimy, milky-looking discharge with a strange odor, but I don't smell anything. We've been dating for 7 months, and he says this happens every time. What could this be, and do you have any tips or suggestions?

I occasionally experience discomfort in my lower right side towards the back, which is associated with bowel irregularity. This happens every 4 or 5 months and lasts for a few days. I tend to have bowel movements every other day, but if I get knocked off my schedule, I may go several days without going to the bathroom. I had diarrhea yesterday after not having gone for a few days, and now the pain is back. I am a healthy weight, eat lots of live foods, and don’t smoke or drink. Is this a worrisome symptom or just due to bowel irritation? I have never had blood in my stool or any other concerning symptoms.

My boyfriend has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and is experiencing severe pain, significant weight loss, extreme fatigue, and dark urine. He has not seen a doctor for these symptoms and is hesitant to go to the ER due to financial concerns. What should I do to help him, and what symptoms indicate he needs immediate medical attention?

I think I have tendinitis in my elbow, which is getting worse. It hurts to extend my arm and clench my fist, and it also hurts when I pull my arm to my chest. I haven't seen a doctor yet, but I've been using an elbow band with a pressure spot, taking ibuprofen for inflammation, and also taking glucosamine for knee pain. My medical history includes high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. What should I do?
