I have been experiencing intense nerve pain after penetrative sex, which has become more frequent and severe over the past year. The pain radiates from my gut area down to my uterus and is often accompanied by abdominal bloating. I have a family history of endometriosis and have been checked for STIs and HIV, all negative. What could be causing this pain, and what tests or evaluations should I consider?

I just got over a cold last week and was feeling much better this week. Now I'm experiencing a sore throat and swollen, tender glands in my neck. What is the likelihood of this being the Delta Variant? I had COVID last year and got through it fine. I'm 61 in good health, generally, and am taking Tylenol right now for the sore throat. It's been this way for two days now. No other symptoms. I do have allergies sometimes that I manage with Flonase if I have a stuffy nose but not experiencing that now. Cold and allergy meds such as Allegra and Claritin dry me out and don't address the problem. It's rainy, humid here in NC. Could be the barometric pressure which affects me but I don't usually get the sore glands.

I had a stool in the morning and yesterday that is not the same color. It has shades of orange and darkish colors but is mainly brown. I’m a 21-year-old female. I have a picture of the stool as well. I started taking probiotics recently and also took them with green veggie powder that contains fiber, probiotics, and antioxidant blends. What could be causing the color change and should I be concerned?
