I have had two miscarriages, both early on, the first at five weeks and the second at ten weeks. In the case of the second, the baby was developing behind schedule and testing indicated the baby was fine. I read articles suggesting that many people with an MTHFR variant had multiple miscarriages and it was an easy fix once discovered. My 23andMe data showed I have a mutation in each MTHFR gene (compound heterozygous). I haven't seen my OBGYN yet but I also read that sometimes this is a rejected theory by many doctors. Does it seem plausible that this could cause the problem?

I've been coughing constantly for over 3 weeks, with no COVID symptoms. The cough is dry, and there is chest tightening when I cough. I also experience breathlessness when exerting myself or exercising, and seasonal changes sometimes affect my symptoms. My grandfather had asthma, and my profession involves working in a warehouse. What could be causing this, and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I have been experiencing voice issues for two months, including a bad coughing phase in August that has since passed, but now my voice disappears or transforms into a strange, low, and harsh voice frequently. I have no fever, throat pain, or difficulty swallowing, but I struggle with losing my voice during speaking, especially in conferences. What could be causing this and how can I resolve it?

I have a bladder infection and need a prescription called into my local pharmacy. How long have you had the bladder infection? Have you used this medication or anything similar before? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I saw a streak on my stool that wasn’t an obvious red but was a shade of brown different from the stool as a whole. The stool was between shades of brown and green. The streak was approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide and ran the length of the stool. Is it possible to have streaks that run the length of the stool and not be blood? I had a colonoscopy in May last year and 18 months before that. Should I be worried about this?
