For the past few days, I have been experiencing swollen veins on both sides of my pelvis, which are tender to the touch, and I also have little bumps on my vulva. The swelling has increased over time, and the area is painful and tender. I'm 21 years old and have been experiencing bowel issues and a burning sensation when I pee. The tenderness is located on the veins themselves. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I had very light yellowish discharge without odor. Should I be worried if it’s an STI? I had sex for the first time last night, and the discharge just started a bit ago. It has no noticeable odor and is creamy in texture. My last period started on August 25-31, and it’s regular. I don’t have any itching, burning, redness, soreness, swelling, or pain during peeing. I am 24 years old, and the sex was protected.

I am supposed to be 9 weeks pregnant based on my last menstrual period (LMP), but I am measuring at 5 weeks and 2 days on ultrasound. My hCG levels were 2,821 on December 25 and increased to 24,362 last night. The ultrasound report findings were suspicious but not a diagnosis of a failed pregnancy. Should I prepare myself for the worst? Does it look okay?

I'm a 47-year-old man with two concerns: 1) I sometimes experience urine leakage if I don't go to the bathroom quickly, and 2) my erection is not strong during sex with my wife. What could these issues be and what treatments are available?

I was diagnosed with a UTI on Friday and got a positive pregnancy test today. How likely is it a true positive pregnancy or from the UTI? I am not using any contraceptives, my husband recently got a vasectomy, and I didn't know I had a UTI. I've been experiencing cramping and discomfort in my pelvic area, extreme fatigue, changes in food taste, and thick white mucus discharge. I had a negative blood pregnancy test last Monday, but a positive digital test today. What should I do?
