I was experiencing a heavy, sticky, thin, yellow/brown discharge. I was tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea and treated prophylactically with IM Rocephin and Doxycycline. The discharge resolved two days later, but the tests were negative for both infections. Can you tell me what you think was causing this? Do you think the tests were a false negative? I had a partial hysterectomy seven years ago and a new sex partner about a month ago.

I live in San Antonio where temperatures often exceed 104 degrees. After a strenuous hour-long run followed by intense swimming, I felt extremely tired and weak, and have not fully recovered. My blood work is mostly normal, but my white blood cell count is slightly elevated. I'm trying to understand how to protect my health in such hot weather and whether my body performs better in cooler climates. What specific measures can I take to improve my well-being and prevent such episodes?

How can I get rid of a yeast infection and treat raised, pus-filled bumps on my buttock if I have diabetes?

I had a c-section 3 years ago. I'm experiencing labor-like pains and pain during bowel movements similar to what I felt after my c-section. I'm also having abdominal pain that worsens with activities like house cleaning or lifting heavy objects. What could be causing these symptoms, and who should I consult for help?

I woke up from a nap and felt a tingling in my neck on the right side under the ear. I rubbed it and felt a welt. I looked in the mirror and could definitely see a bulge. It is now 3 hours later and I feel it growing. No pain but it is now over 3" and is swelling into my face, along my ear and down the side of the neck. When I put ice on it it goes down but fills up again and larger. Really no pain but I do feel like a draining and puffing sensations. What could this be and what should I do?
