After receiving unprotected oral sex three weeks ago, I've had a frequent urge to urinate with no pain, discharge, or abnormal urine appearance. I've tested negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My husband has back pain and sometimes feels it on his calf. He has never felt the pain in the back of his thigh. He sometimes has calf pain without back pain and says the calf feels heavy. Could it be a blood clot?

I had a fall down the stairs 3 months ago, resulting in a hospital stay and a follow-up CT scan that showed mild edema or early encephalomalacia. I was told there was mild swelling but nothing more serious was mentioned. Now, I'm worried that I might have a more serious condition that was overlooked. What should I understand about the CT scan results and why wasn't the more serious condition discussed?

I have a foreskin problem. It looks inflamed or swollen, and when I try to pull it back, the tip is red and looks like it covers a bit beyond the tip. The eczema only triggered after I had COVID, and I'm experiencing discomfort like itching. It looks like it might get difficult to pee at one point. I can get some space if I try to clean under the foreskin, but it returns after a few seconds. What could this be, and what should I do?
