I have high liver GGT levels and have noticed my ALK levels rising over the years, along with significant muscle mass loss and joint clicking. I've had an MRI that shows some cysts on my liver but no concerning masses. I'm a 55-year-old male who doesn't drink or smoke and is in good health otherwise. What could be causing these elevated levels and what should I do next?

I realized I have a gland on my scrotum. Is it dangerous, and could it be related to not showering for two days and sweating a lot?

My 31-year-old son has had diarrhea for 24 hours, vomiting, and a spiking fever of 101°F. Should he be seen at urgent care? He has no cough, chills, or pre-existing respiratory conditions. He rarely gets sick, takes no routine medications, and first felt ill about 4 hours after eating at a restaurant. He has been taking Immodium and increasing fluids, but has vomited twice and needs to drink more fluids.

I have had black little specks in my stool randomly for a long time. Is that concerning? Only other symptoms are some abdominal pain sometimes but not every day. My diet is not clean. Sometimes they are bigger and more, sometimes they are smaller. I also had some light spotting for a couple of days about 4 days after my period in two separate months (April and June), and I have had burning after I pee for at least a year randomly not continuously. No urgency to pee or pain when peeing, just the burning. Is that a cancer concern or just hormonal? Just basically wondering if that’s hormonal or could be a sign of endometrial or cervical cancer. Normal pap in 2020.
