Is it okay to take a laxative, specifically Milk of Magnesia, when recovering from diverticulitis, given that I am currently taking Cipro and generic Flagyl and have not had a bowel movement since before the diverticulitis attack?

I’m having pain in my abdomen, covering both the right and left upper quadrants. The pain is intermittent and sharp, rated at a 4 out of 10. I am a 21-year-old morbidly obese female and the pain is not related to food.

I've been having my period for a month and a half now, with extreme pain localized to my left side, particularly near my pelvic area. The pain is sharp and makes it difficult to stand straight. I am 26 years old, healthy, not sexually active, and have not seen a doctor yet. My last menstrual period was on 10/15, and I am not on birth control. My periods have been regular for the last two years, but they were irregular before that. When was your last Gynecologic exam?

I was recently diagnosed with a co-infection of high and low risk HPV. What does it mean to be co-infected with both types, what are the risks, and how does it affect transmission and hygiene?

I have been concerned about an STD for a week. I am 20 years old, not using any medications, and have no significant medical history. Earlier this month, I noticed something that was not painful, almost went unnoticed, never changed in appearance, and disappeared in under a week. I also have dead skin when I wipe and noticed a few tiny cuts between my vagina and anus. Does this look like herpes, and what could it be?
