I had unprotected sex with a woman two nights ago and do not know her status. The next day, the tip of my penis was tingling and had a burning sensation off and on, along with diarrhea/greasy stools. Two days later, I still have greasy stools and diarrhea, and my hands and forearms feel tingly and numb. I have also been drinking a lot the past few days. Are my symptoms from the alcohol or STD-related?

I am having persistent dull, achy pain in my right side that started a few days ago and worsened on a plane. I am 32 years old, recently had a miscarriage, and have a family history of kidney stones. I am currently taking no medications and have no other symptoms like vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, fever, urinary issues, or abnormal discharge. Should I go to the hospital, or can I wait until I return home to see a doctor in my insurance network?

I have light red spotting after wiping, yet my baby's heartbeat is normal and strong. I am 11 weeks pregnant. The spotting started Tuesday night at 10:30pm and has shown back up recently. I have no abdominal pain, dizziness, or abnormal vaginal discharge. I had intercourse with my husband around 6am Tuesday morning, which I suspect might be the reason for the spotting. I had my first baby in July 2021 via c-section and had brownish spotting around 6 weeks, but now it's showing more reddish. What could be causing this spotting and should I be concerned?
