I have been experiencing urethral pain, urgency, difficulty initiating stream, and a very weak stream for four days. I was initially diagnosed with a UTI and given Cipro, which didn't help. I then had a CT scan that showed mild prostatomegaly, a 6 mm calcification in the midline prostate gland, and ill-defined stranding surrounding the seminal vesicle glands. I was put on a different antibiotic, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, but there has been no improvement. What could be causing these symptoms and how long should I expect them to continue before I should be really worried?

My legs feel tired when walking, and I get tired fairly quickly after walking about one block. I have had normal full blood work, a normal heart ECG last year, a normal brain MRI two years ago, a normal neck MRI, and a normal abdominal CT scan six months ago. I take no medication, have no bowel or back problems, and my balance is good with no falls. What could be causing this tiredness in my legs?

I notice when I sit for long periods, the base of my testicles tingle and the area between my anus and scrotum hurts. The symptoms go away when I stand. I am a healthy 50-year-old male and have not used any medication or seen a doctor for this issue. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Recently diagnosed with stage 3 liver fibrosis. Is there a treatment for that? I've read that it's possibly reversible with Hep C shots and anti-inflammatories. Any truth to that?

My wife has Alzheimer's and refuses to eat. She is 5'7" and 68 years old. She lost her lower teeth and I can't get her new ones until March 3021. She has fainted twice, uses medications including memantine, donepezil, citalopram, and donezepil, and has osteoporosis with a broken wrist from a fall. She also lies about eating and throws food away if not watched. Is Ensure an option, or should I consider cereal? What else can I do to help her eat?

I have bumps on my skin that are more like scars now (hyperpigmentation). I have used several serums but nothing has worked so far. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms and remove the scars?
