My sister has been sick for months with unexplained weight loss, digestive issues, and no definitive diagnosis from a gastroenterologist despite scopes and CT scans. She had her gallbladder removed 5 years ago due to function issues, not stones. Does an Endocrinologist check the function of the pancreas, and what other tests might be relevant for her condition?

I recently had a large red, bumpy lesion that has since flattened and turned purple-reddish. I now have another one forming. What could these lesions be, and what can I do to treat them?

I had a D&C for a missed miscarriage a month ago and was wondering if the pregnancy hormone remains in the system even a few weeks after the surgery? I’ve taken 2 at-home pregnancy tests 2 days apart and both came back positive. How long until I’m able to try to conceive again?

I had an epidural yesterday for back pain and also have diabetes. My blood sugar has spiked to 397. Should I go to the ER? I have constant achy back pain, increased fatigue, and feel warm. I take Trulicity shots once a week for diabetes, insulin daily at night, gabapentin, and vitamin B12. My current blood sugar level is 301, and I've been feeling warm, have a headache, and slightly dizzy, but my temperature is normal.

I’m experiencing discharge, burning, itchiness, pressure on my vagina when I cough, and abnormal sensations when I sit. I’ve started treatment for a yeast infection but am concerned it might be a prolapse. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have been suffering from psychogenic cervical dystonia for the last 4 months. My head turns to the right and quickly fixes in that position, and I can't keep it straight. I have no pain, and my MRI and other tests were clear. I was prescribed benzodiazepines and tried homeopathic treatments like Lycopodium 6x and Ignatia Amara 6x, but they didn't help. Could you offer any advice or alternative treatments?
