I have a swollen labia on one side that burns constantly, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm 22 years old, have PCOS, and haven't had sex. There's no fishy-smelling discharge, and the swelling and pain are constant. What could be causing this, and what can I do to manage it until I can see a doctor?

I got out of the hospital with a bad kidney infection and was sent home with Ciprofloxacin. I keep peeing on myself and have been experiencing frequent urination, which is getting worse. How long have you had this frequent urination? Is this stable or getting worse? About how many times have you had to relieve yourself in the last 24 hours? How long have you been using the antibiotic? How old are you? How would you like to connect with the Doctor - phone call or online chat?

I had a bowel movement that was hard to come out, and when it did, there was a small amount of red-tinged material on top of it. I'm concerned if this could be blood and if it could be something serious like cancer. Additionally, I've been experiencing shooting pains in my anal region when sitting and upper and lower abdominal pain. Could these symptoms be related to straining during bowel movements or hemorrhoids?

I have been experiencing a burning sensation in my left upper arm that varies depending on my position (laying or sitting), fluctuations in my blood pressure (ranging from ideal to high), and a feeling of pressure in my head rather than a headache. I also had chest pain and a high pulse two weeks ago. What could be causing these symptoms and should I be concerned?

I received a first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine in Brazil in late April and then a first dose of Pfizer vaccine in the U.S. My doctor in Brazil believes I should get both doses of Pfizer to be fully protected. What is your opinion?
