I have symptoms of a UTI but had a culture come back negative. What else could be causing these symptoms, such as a constant urge to urinate, feeling like my bladder is full even with little urine flow, cramping in my lower abdomen, lower back pain, and blood in my urine?

My 91-year-old mother, who is on hospice and has severe osteoporosis, two hip replacements, a laparotomized stomach from severe gastritis, and likely lymphoma or gastric cancer, has developed an extensive, scaly, purplish, somewhat itchy genital rash extending from her vagina down her inner thighs and around her rectum. She has early satiety, drinks Chardonnay for pain, recently had a fall leading to a facial/sinus infection treated with Augmentin, and has long-standing hypertension and hypothyroidism. What could be causing this rash, and how can we alleviate her discomfort?

I'm early in my pregnancy, and I know my hormones are everywhere at the moment. Why is one of my breasts more sore than the other and has also changed in size, while the other one has not?

Me and my husband are trying to conceive. If I have sex on the day of ovulation or a day after, can I still get pregnant? Also, how many days after ovulation is there still a chance? We had sex on Wednesday night, and some of my ovulation apps say ovulation on Saturday and some say Sunday. Is there any way I could get pregnant from Wednesday night, and is there a chance?

I had a period on August 17, had sex on September 10, and experienced light bleeding on September 25. I took the morning-after pill within two days of the sexual encounter. I have tested negative for pregnancy with urine tests but used a drop of blood on a urine test, which came out positive. Can I be pregnant, and what should I do next?

I haven't had sex in three months and the last time he did not ejaculate inside of me. I am on birth control and take it the same time each night and have not missed a pill. I had my period this month like usual and I took a pregnancy test just in case and it was negative. I have been having stomach pains and nausea mainly at night for the last month. My bowel movements have changed dramatically in the last month going from everyday to barely once a week. Could it be possible IBS or something else?
