Am I pregnant if period is 9 days late?
A late period is sometimes due to stress, changes in diet or exercise, or hormonal fluctuations. Tender breasts, nausea, and tiredness are some common symptoms that can be mistaken for pregnancy at the early stage. In my opinion, a home pregnancy test is the best option. If it’s positive, schedule an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your options and next steps.

Why is my son experiencing pain after eating?
If there are pains after eating and the stools are blackish, it could be a sign of some serious problem that is taking place inside the body. The 39 cm tumor at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach is the cause of this problem. These types of tumors can be malignant, hence, the person may face trouble swallowing as well as experience weight loss. The options of surgery or other methods such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy might be necessary to eliminate the tumor.

Why Am I Urinating Every 5 Minutes?
If you have an overactive bladder, you may feel the need to urinate frequently, even when your bladder isn’t full. Common symptoms include needing to pee every few minutes, sudden strong urges, and sometimes leaking urine. This condition may be caused by nerve issues or certain medications. To manage it, you can try bladder training exercises, make lifestyle changes like reducing caffeine, and in some cases, take medications. It’s important to drink water in small amounts throughout the day and ensure your bladder is fully emptied each time you go.

Can medication prevent white liquid when taking PEP tablets?
White fluid is quite common, which is the case while you are on PEP tablets. This is not a problem. The white liquid is most probably the discharge that can occur when these medicines are taken. It's the body that discards extra matter. No additional medicinal treatment is required to cure this. Stick to your PEP and complete the full course of 28 days.

Why do I have anal swelling and pain?
You are likely dealing with a problem called anal fissure. This can arise from hard stools and the consequent straining of the bowel movements. For the pain and swelling, start with the treatment of drinking plenty of water and eating more fiber foods, like, for instance, fruits and veggies. You can also get relief with the help of over-the-counter creams. However, if the pain still doesn't go away, should visit a gastroenterologist's office for more tests and treatment.

Is Red Bump Inside My Mouth Cancerous?
You may be worried if a red bump pops up inside your mouth. However, it is not always a sign of cancer. These bumps can be caused by mouth sores, inflamed taste buds, or even a small injury from rough foods. If it is not causing pain or bleeding, then it is usually the case of nothing serious. Try rinsing your mouth with salt water and using soothing mouth gel to help it heal. If it does not get better or if you are scared, it is always a good idea to see a dentist.

Why can't I retract foreskin, glans connected by flesh?
Your case seems to fit a "phimosis" diagnosis. Phimosis happens when it is impossible to draw the foreskin back over the head of the penis smoothly because it is too narrow. This can occur if the skin is fused to the tip of the penis by a strip of tissue. It might cause pain or some problems while urination. The treatment is typically with a prescription cream and sometimes a minor surgery. It is recommended to consult a urologist about the alternatives.
