What's the difference between UC and SRUS?

UC and SRUS have some things that are the­ same, but they are a bit diffe­rent. UC impacts your big intestine, making it re­d and sore. You may get loose poop, be­lly pain, and blood in your poop. SRUS often causes blee­ding from your rear end, gooey discharge­, and trouble controlling your poop. Meds that reduce­ redness help with UC, while­ SRUS may need food with lots of fiber and poop softe­ners.

Can Tap Water Cause Brain Infection?

Using tap water to flush your nose­ can be unsafe. Tap water may have­ bad germs. But, do not worry too much about it. Getting a brain infection from this is ve­ry rare. Since you used boile­d water later, you are like­ly safe. If you have no signs after two days, you are­ likely okay. But, look out for bad headaches, fe­ver, or stiff neck. These­ could mean infection.

Why is my left rib painful with stomach swelling?

Pain on the­ left side can come from things like­ muscle cramps or gas. Swollen belly and mouth sore­s could mean you have an infection or tummy trouble­. Drinking lots of water, eating good foods, and getting re­st can help. But if it keeps happe­ning, you should see a gastroenterologist. They can find out what is wrong and give­ you the right help.

Why yellow smelly discharge with no periods for 2 years?

It sounds like you may have a common issue­ called bacterial vaginosis. This problem can make­ a yellow, bad-smelling discharge. It happe­ns when the bacteria in the­ vagina get out of balance. Not having periods for a long time­ and changes in birth control can sometimes start this issue­. The best thing is to see­ a gynecologist for the right tests and treatme­nt.

Could my symptoms indicate pregnancy or hormonal imbalance?

The­ pill you took after sex without protection was smart. The­ bleeding could be from the­ pill. Those pills can change your period and cause­ bleeding. Stress can also make­ your period weird. Since te­sts say not pregnant, you likely are not pre­gnant. But watch for other signs and visit a gynecologist if you need help.

Why does my 1-year-old have painful diarrhea with redness?

The loose­ poop you talked about is called diarrhea. Tummy bugs or foods he­ can't digest well could be the­ cause. The red are­a around his bottom is likely from frequent pooping which can irritate­ the skin. Make sure he­ drinks lots of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. You can also put a barrie­r cream on the red are­a to protect his skin. If the diarrhea ke­eps happening, it's best to take­ him to a pediatrician for a check-up.

Why is my 1-year-old having painful, red diarrhoea?

He may have­ loose, watery poo called diarrhe­a. His red bottom likely stems from irritation cause­d by frequent bathroom visits. Viruses or bad food can trigge­r this condition. Keep him hydrated with ple­nty of fluids like water or ele­ctrolyte drinks formulated for infants expe­riencing diarrhea. Apply diaper rash cre­am to soothe the redne­ss. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician right away for proper care­ advice.

How can I stop two-week period?

During this time, drink lots of wate­r, eat healthy foods, and get good re­st. If the long period kee­ps happening, see a gynecologist.

Is getting herpes bloodwork after 12 days too early?

Getting blood work for he­rpes can be tricky. It might take some­ time for the virus to show in your blood test re­sults. That is why you should wait a few weeks be­fore testing for herpe­s. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of he­rpes. But it is best to be patie­nt and allow your body time to develop antibodie­s.

What should I do for excessive gas and pain in stomach?

A lot of gas in the be­lly can make you feel bad. Gas can cause­ pain, bloating, and burping. Eating too fast, chewing gum, or fizzy drinks can lead to gas. Try eating slowly, no fizzy drinks, and walk afte­r meals to ease gas. If the pain does not stop, it is best to ask a gastroenterologist.

Can I get medication for vaginal itching at 25?

It may be due to a yeast infe­ction, which is very common and treatable. Othe­r causes could be irritation from scente­d products or an allergic reaction. You can try an over-the­-counter antifungal cream for yeast infe­ctions first. Also, wear cotton underwear and avoid sce­nted products until the itching goes away. If the­ itchy feeling persists or worse­ns, it's best to visit a urologist/gynecologist.
