I think I might have a hernia. I went to the gym and did an abdominal workout. The next day, I noticed my pelvic region was 'pudgier' than usual and my lower abdominal region felt 'solid.' Today, my penis was puffy all over, but nothing hurts except my inner thighs when I squat down. Do you think it's a hernia?

My wife and I are 73 years old and have been married for 50 years. I cannot fully penetrate my penis into her vagina; it feels like hitting a soft wall. She has seen an OBGYN and seems okay. We use lube, foreplay, and sex toys, and my penis is 6 inches. We always had a good sex life. Can you help?

I am a type 1 diabetic. I accidentally took a double dose of Lantus (40 units at 5:00 pm and another 40 units at 1:00 am). What should I do to avoid low blood sugar from this double dosing?

I can feel my pulse beating hard in my ankle/lower calf without touching it. It feels like it’s twitching. It’s very uncomfortable. Is this normal? I tried icing it, but that hasn’t worked so far. It’s just in my right leg. I am 27 and female. I do have some sciatic pain on the right side and have had numbness and tingling in the affected calf and foot recently. I’ve also had some cramping in that calf. It’s been about a week, but the pulse issue started earlier this evening. No history of physical exertion, but I am driving a lot more and use that leg to drive. No medications. No swelling.

I have a normal thyroid TSH, T3, and T4 blood test. I also have a solid hypoechoic nodule with calcifications on ultrasound, which is moderately suspicious (TR4) and not highly suspicious (TR5). I have a family history of thyroid cancer. Why would the ultrasound guidelines not recommend a FNA biopsy if the nodule is solid and less than 1.0 to 1.5 cm, especially given my family history?
