I have been experiencing severe symptoms every month around my period, including sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, fever, cold sores in my mouth, and bumps in the genital area that sometimes turn into large ulcers. I have been tested for STDs multiple times and all results are negative. I am 19 years old and this has been ongoing since I was 13. My family hosted a child from Haiti who had scabies, and I caught it from her, which is when my symptoms started. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I have had erectile dysfunction for the last ten years and have used Viagra with reasonable success. My energy levels have been deteriorating, and I have lost most of my body hair over the same period. I am 67 years old. Is it possible or likely that hormone replacement therapy will help?

I have high blood pressure and feel okay, but my readings are consistently high, especially when I wake up or have been asleep. My latest reading was 205/90. What should I do?

I am a 65-year-old married man. My wife and I have been married for 42 years and have had a good sex life until 1 1/2 years ago after my prostate cancer surgery. I am a cancer survivor and can function sexually as before. However, since we were unable to have intercourse for approximately 2 years, my wife's vaginal opening appears to have closed somewhat, making entry very difficult. We use Corn Huskers lotion as a lubricant, recommended by a pharmacist. What do you suggest?

I have lower back pain and recently received a diagnosis of spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 and spondylolysis at L5-S1. I am concerned about the potential impact on my neck and shoulder strength, and whether I need surgery. Additionally, I want to know if I can still lift my baby/kids/weights and what the overall impact on my life might be.
