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.

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.
