I've been experiencing discomfort and pain in my genital area and lower stomach for the past two months, including irritation, dull pain near the left side of my testicle, and occasional stomach pain. I've had multiple tests (STD, urine culture, blood work, inflammation test) which all came back negative. I also took doxycycline for a few days but still feel irritation and pain. I have severe health anxiety and am worried about potential bladder or prostate issues. What could be causing these symptoms and should I be concerned about serious health issues?

Is this a normal bowel movement stool for a 25-year-old male? I have nausea, loss of appetite, dull stomach pains, and sometimes see bright red blood on paper towel after straining, which causes burning and itching. My endoscopy was clear, but I'm concerned about colon cancer due to weight loss from loss of appetite.

What can I take for a swollen gland in the jaw area, which is tender and feels like a ball? I am currently not using any medications and am 30 years old. I am at CVS and would like to know what I can buy to help with this issue.

I am a pre-diabetic and want to manage/prevent hyperglycemia during a 20+ hour flight. I experience hyperglycemia even after shorter flights and am concerned about potential episodes during the long flight. How can I better control or prevent hyperglycemia during travel?

I have been having trouble breathing while sleeping and staying asleep. I am currently on Lexapro and Vistaril, I am 21 years old, and have been experiencing this issue for the past few days, although it has happened occasionally in the past. I have a congested feeling and difficulty breathing through my nose when I lay down to sleep. I also wake up drooling, at random hours of the night, and feel restless once awake for the day. I have been told I snore. I have seen a doctor before who thought it could be seasonal allergies, and I have an allergy test coming up. I am currently using Flonase and Allegra, but I'm not sure how much they are helping. I am overweight and do not smoke. I get seasonal allergies from time to time but no other respiratory conditions. I have noticed snoring, daytime sleepiness, and dry mouth in the morning, but not gasping. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do in the meantime?
