I have had black little specks in my stool randomly for a long time. Is that concerning? Only other symptoms are some abdominal pain sometimes but not every day. My diet is not clean. Sometimes they are bigger and more, sometimes they are smaller. I also had some light spotting for a couple of days about 4 days after my period in two separate months (April and June), and I have had burning after I pee for at least a year randomly not continuously. No urgency to pee or pain when peeing, just the burning. Is that a cancer concern or just hormonal? Just basically wondering if that’s hormonal or could be a sign of endometrial or cervical cancer. Normal pap in 2020.

The black specks in your stool are likely undigested food particles, which can be due to your diet. ...

I have been taking Lexapro for three days for my borderline personality disorder and major depression. I am taking 5 mg. I was wondering about the depth of the pros and cons of this medication.

I have pain under my left rib around the upper stomach. The pain is sharp when I sneeze, cough, hiccup, or yawn. It started three days ago and is stable except when I perform these actions. The pain comes and goes and sometimes radiates to my shoulder or back. What should I do?

What is the difference between the traditional RPR test followed by a Treponomal test strategy and the new strategy of performing a Treponomal test first with RPR confirmation? Is the Treponomal test more specific and faster in detecting early syphilis compared to the RPR test?

I was diagnosed with Vestibular Hypofunction and have been doing physical therapy for 5 weeks but still feel bad. I'm 58 years old, female, and have symptoms like brain fog, dizziness, memory issues, blurry vision, stiff eyes, and fatigue. I also have a history of bad reactions from Botox injections and was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. What can help alleviate my symptoms?

I stepped on a small plastic hourglass and it broke, causing significant pain in my left foot, particularly in the arch area. The pain persists even hours later and is deep-seated. Given that I have a history of flat foot and previous injury to this foot, should I get this checked out?
