Hello, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and I just had my second membrane stripping today. When I went to the bathroom just now, I had very mucusy discharge with spotting in it. Could this be my bloody show or me losing my mucus plug?

I have never had high glucose levels before. At the end of August, my A1C was 5.5. Over the past few months, I have been taking my glucose readings and I'm averaging 6.5-7.0 fasting and 8.0-9.0 post-prandial. Are these numbers really high? What would cause a sudden increase in glucose levels?

Can a doctor take a look at an abscess I have? I have two pictures: one of an abscess that has been present for about 4 days (Picture A) and another of an abscess that has been present for about 5 weeks (Picture B). The second one drained and almost completely shrunk but started draining again yesterday. I have been using Neosporin, but I accidentally got the pain relief version. What should I do?

A 50-year-old white female is experiencing low blood pressure, severe fatigue, lethargy, a feeling of fainting, extreme hunger, foggy brain, and difficulty concentrating. She has a history of depression, anxiety, and multiple UTIs treated with antibiotics, but it's unclear if these were the actual issues. She has been feeling unwell for about 5 weeks and has recently been taken off all her medications. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done?

I have white stuff around my breast, specifically near my nipple (areola). I noticed it for sure in 2020, and it has been less for the past 2-3 months. There is no itching. What could this be and what type of doctor should I see for this issue?
