What is the cause of my sore throat, which started 2 days into a fever and body aches, and is mainly experienced in the afternoon? I have a history of post nasal discharge and LPR, and I'm not sure if this sore throat is due to the cold or LPR.

I'm 23 years old and think I'm suffering from ED. I used to do a lot of prone masturbation for 6 years from age 14 to 19. My ED has been bad, and I only get erections when I'm laying down. The longer I go without ejaculating, the better the erection, but it's still soft. I don't take any medication, only drink or smoke on special occasions, and have stress and anxiety. I was thinking maybe it was a venous leakage since I have position-dependent ED. I recently got a sonogram, but it only checked my balls area, not my penis. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I have been concerned about an unspecified infectious disease for 2 months. My doctor says I have active mono, but I don't feel any symptoms. I am 56 years old and not currently using any medications. What does it mean if I have active mono without symptoms, and what do my lab results indicate?

If the flank pain I first felt last week was caused by a kidney infection, would I have developed a fever around that time or would it have taken a week to develop?

I had a posterior bowel repair 4/52 by a well-known and respected OB/GYN. Since the day of surgery, I have been experiencing 24/7 diarrhea, leading to severe skin excoriation and ongoing pain. My appetite is poor, and I often experience nausea that leads to vomiting. I am 65 years old and currently taking Lasix, Ramipril, Pantaloc, Celexa, Trazadone, and Lemborexant. What can be done to manage my symptoms and address the underlying cause of the diarrhea?
