My gynecologist, who is also a surgeon, has recommended a hysterectomy due to calcification and multiple fibroid tumors that have calcified or are located in my bones and intestines. He suggests the surgery should be performed by an oncologist to minimize damage to healthy tissues. What questions should I ask the oncologist, and what tests should I expect?

I've had my sigmoid colon removed due to cancer. Everything is fixed now, but I have bowel movements about every 10 to 20 minutes for about four to six hours. My surgeon is unsure what is wrong. This has been going on for over 2 months and is causing constant pain from stool burning my anus. What can I do?

I am currently taking Clindamycin for a sinus infection. My sinuses seem fine, but my left ear has pressure, some ringing, and hearing loss. Is this related to my sinus problems, or could it be something more serious that requires immediate attention?

Until about three years ago, my wife's menstrual bleeding lasted 6 to 7 days out of a very regular 28-day cycle. Now the bleeding lasts 10 to 14 days, but the cycle is still regular at 28 days. Is this increase any cause for concern?

I just received the results for hormone testing. I'm 52 years old, female, menopausal since 2008, and currently taking estradiol (1 mg) and prometrium (100 mg) once daily for hot flashes. My libido is low, and my hormone tests show estradiol levels that are very low, suggesting my hormone pills aren't being utilized. My doctor suggested a prescribed formula of hormone in cream form, including DHEA. What do you think of my test results, and what are your suggestions for raising my libido?
