My daughter, who is 32 years old, has been experiencing a constant pulling sensation in her head for 18 months, which is accompanied by a pulsating feeling. This condition started under significant stress while opening her speech clinic and writing literacy programs. The only relief she gets is when she is underwater or in an airplane. She was briefly taking Larazopan, which provided some relief, but she is now 9 weeks pregnant and had to discontinue it. She has undergone various tests, including MRI and consultations with specialists, and a neurologist suggested it might be dystonia. She finds it difficult to concentrate and needs to hold her head to one side. What can be done to manage this condition during her pregnancy?

I am a 32-year-old divorced woman who has been struggling with yeast infections after sex since August two years ago. The symptoms include urethral irritation, burning, and itching, which do not resolve with over-the-counter medications and require a doctor's visit. I have been checked for STIs and have no other medical issues. My periods have also become irregular since this started. What could be causing this and what can I do to manage or resolve it?

I'm 36 years old and have noticed a pink tinge after wiping after going pee right after intercourse, especially during ovulation. This has happened a few times. Is this normal, and should I get checked out?

I have stage 4 endometriosis, arthritis in my shoulders, disintegrating hips due to osteoporosis, and constant neck pain from a car accident where my head hit the windshield. I used to take Vicodin, but refused to increase the dosage to OxyContin. I currently take Baclofen and Diclofenac, which caused severe vomiting. I have seen a doctor about the vomiting, but no other resolution was offered. I also had a parathyroid tumor that led to calcium imbalances, causing me to 'code' at home and in the ambulance, and underwent a complete neck dissection. Additionally, I was diagnosed with migraines due to an artery to my brain being smaller than the other, requiring a shunt. What medical advice or treatment options can you provide for my conditions?

I am 26 weeks pregnant and accidentally consumed a small amount of blue cheese made from raw milk. Should I be worried about potential harm to my baby, and should I mention this to my doctor?

I will be 7 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. I went to the ER at 4 weeks 5 days due to light to medium bleeding, but the ultrasound was too early to show anything. My first check-up last week showed low HCG levels in the 50s, and I have another blood test scheduled. I feel no pain or cramps and am worried about a possible early miscarriage. Is there a way to increase my HCG levels?
