I recently had unprotected vaginal sex with a woman a week ago. After learning that she had also had sex with a man who uses crack cocaine, I am concerned about potential diseases. How long should I wait to get tested and what tests should I order?

I've been experiencing a ripping tear feeling in my bottom right abdomen near the belly button, especially when I poop or try to fart, and when I stretch. I also have been bloated and constipated for the past month, with hard stools sometimes. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

I’ve been throwing up multiple times and my stool is watery. I feel like I have a fever and chills. I am 24 years old and work with 1-year-old children, where there have been confirmed cases of hand-foot-mouth disease and a coworker had similar symptoms last week. Should I see a doctor?

I have pain in my left foot's 4th toe when I walk, regardless of the shoes I'm wearing. The pain has been gradually increasing over the past couple of weeks, and it only occurs when I walk. There is no swelling or redness. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do about it?

I have a sharp pain inside my belly button that started on Monday. There is no redness, warmth, or discharge, but the area inside the belly button is very tender and painful. It hurts to bend or touch it, and there is a small bump inside that feels like a mosquito bite and is very painful. I have no urinary frequency, burning, heartburn, diarrhea/constipation, nausea, vomiting, fever, gas, or abdomen tenderness, but there might be a little loss of appetite and the area around the belly button seems puffy. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?
