I have been experiencing intermittent pain in my right testicle for almost 4 months. The pain has improved slightly but still persists. It is a dull pain, and I have no history of injury, redness, swelling, or soreness. I have not taken any medications and am 32 years old. I have noticed a slight sharp feeling in the bottom side of the right testicle during masturbation, and my semen test showed low sperm count. I drink alcohol every two days and eat healthily. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

My five-year-old grandson got vaccines yesterday morning and has been running a 100°F fever for the past eighteen hours, vomited last night, and hasn't eaten since yesterday afternoon. He also has chills and is lethargic, but no cough or pre-existing respiratory conditions. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

I had protected sex with a masseuse/escort at a massage parlor. There was some brief bare contact between my bare penis and her bare vagina, followed by protected oral and vaginal intercourse. I am concerned about the risk of contracting HSV-2 and other STDs, especially since she is a high-risk individual. What are the chances of me contracting HSV-2 from this encounter, and when should I get tested?

Hi, I have bursitis in my left hip that isn't getting any better with ice or paracetamol. I’ve had it for about 4 days now and it's getting worse. I'm also getting pins and needles in my leg. I've had it before in my right hip, so I know what it is. Has bursitis been stable or getting worse? Has paracetamol helped at all? What's your dosage? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I was in Ecuador and have had stomach issues since then, including diarrhea and frequent bowel movements. What is the best antibiotic to take, and is it possible to take less than a full week's worth if necessary?
