I’m a 72-year-old diagnosed with level 2 moderate bladder prolapse along with a prolapsed vagina. I’m considering La Diva laser therapy and wondering if it works for vaginal tightening as well as moderate bladder prolapse. My health is generally good, but the prolapse has been ongoing for a decade, and the widening is affecting my confidence. I take losartan for high blood pressure and am 15 lbs overweight. What are my options for treatment, and does laser therapy have any effect on my condition?

I have 5 stitches in my finger from a cut 6 days ago. When pressure is applied to the stitches or if my finger stretches too much, it feels painful and tingly. Will this go away, and am I at risk of nerve damage?

I had a swollen area on one side of my face that was very tender and slightly warm. While drinking hot tea with lemon, my mouth was flooded with a salty fluid, and the swelling and tenderness disappeared. What could this be, and should I be concerned?

Why can't I have a mastectomy after having a lumpectomy on the same breast, especially if it means avoiding radiation therapy, given my age and health conditions?

Thyroid question: Ultrasound shows a 1.7x1.0x1.3 cm nodule in the right lobe. Two FNA (10 weeks apart) were indeterminate for papillary thyroid carcinoma. DNA testing reveals a mutation in HRAS. TSH = 2.3 uIU/mL, TPO = 1.1 IU/mL. Doctors recommend right thyroid lobectomy. Are there any options besides surgery? Doctors say waiting is not advised.
