I have ongoing discomfort on my upper right abdomen. I have no known hormonal problems and my eating habits have improved. I've had this pain for years on and off, with diarrhea, bloating, and occasional cramping. My ultrasound and blood work were mostly normal, except for slightly elevated bilirubin. Could this be related to my gallbladder or colon?

I have been experiencing the presence of parasites, as evidenced by the images of worms found in my stools and something coughed up. Stool tests have always come back negative. I have taken albendazole in the past, which didn't seem to help much, but mebendazole did. I am looking for a specialist in parasitic infections, preferably at a university hospital, as it seems that many doctors in California are not knowledgeable about this issue. Can you provide guidance on where to find such a specialist and how often I should take mebendazole for treatment?

Is my 2-year-old daughter at risk of lead poisoning if we move into a home built in 2002 with carpets and unknown prior tenants? Are there any other toxic exposure risks, and how can we mitigate them?

I woke up with an upset stomach, went to work, and then experienced sudden profuse sweating, dizziness, severe stomach, back, and vaginal pain, followed by uncontrollable shaking and freezing. The back pain is constant and feels like burning fire. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My mom had a TACE surgery on her liver to remove a tumor. The surgery was successful, and the tumor is gone. However, a recent CT scan shows a non-enhanced focal lesion of 5 mm. Is this lesion cancerous, and what should we do next?

For the past two weeks, I traveled to Thailand and had protected sexual intercourse with multiple partners. Condoms broke once or twice but were immediately replaced and cleaned. Now, I have minor bumps around my penis, which resemble the beginning of Molluscum Contagiosum, a condition I was diagnosed with and fully recovered from last year. Additionally, I started hair removal laser treatment a few months ago, and my scrotum feels dry and fragile, possibly related to acne treatment with isotretinoin, which I stopped six months ago. I also experienced insect bites during my trip and have a few bites around my body, including the penis area. I'm unsure if these factors are related to the bumps around my penis and how to treat them.
