Hello

I went to the doctor a few days ago, with what I thought was symptoms of a UTI. After taking tests they came back negative, but my doctor told me if I have any more problems he would send me to a kidney doctor. I have pains in the protsate once in awhile, and sometimes I have the strong urge to pee, and its the think white thing.

I've been with the same women for three years, and a few months before my pain started she was having pains in her lower back on the left side. I think that is where they said is a sign of kidney infection? She also has pain around her ovaries alot. These pains have been going on awhile now, but they were very rare, so we thought it was just period pain. Now they have increased, and it's become a daily thing. She is going to the doctor tommorow, and I was wondering what we should ask him?

What could this be please? Is this a UTI, STD, or some kind of other infection? Is there some other signs we should be looking for that we didn't? Thank you

Can my fiance sue a hospital for getting MRSA when she had a C- section there. I did some research via internet that says she could die, she could fall ill, and other really bad stuff. I don't know why the hospital wouldn't be responsible.

A guy at work wanted me to try his new cigar. After pushing and pushing I finally agreed to try it. I found out later that he is HIV+. I have heard debates that you can get aids from spit. Do you think it is true and that I can have HIV from taking a puff off of a cigar?

She had a C-section while giving birth to my son. She didn't have it before. When we first noticed it she went to the Emergency Room of the same hospital and they said it was normal. Her grandpa also got staph infections every time that he went to that hospital. This hospital is famous for giving staph infections to patients and this one could kill my fiance and i am not willing to risk that. I don't know what to do.Is there anyone that can help.

Hiya.
I was wondering if anybody could help me. I need as much information about the causes of Asthma and Rubella (German Measels) as posible. This is for a research assigment. If possible, preventions and information of managing the illnesses would be greatly appreciated.
I'm doing a Diploma In Child Care and Education, so information on working with children with these illnesses is vital for my course.

Thankyou in advance.

Bryony.

With all the hype of last year, with 2 million expected to die in America alone. Do you expected to run around like a headless chicken this year, or because it didn't happen last year it is more likely to occur this year?

hubby has been fighting a "linear" rash (looks like cuts) on penis for two weeks. it had almost cleared up with antibacterial salve, then appeared again. yesterday he was fine and the next second he was ill. low grade (100) temp and said his kidneys hurt. I am puzzled as to what it could be.
it started a day after he used powder (it was very hot outside).
could the antibacterial salve caused an upset in his kidneys?
he says it does not hurt when he urinates. he is also not circumsized.

thanks for your mature answers!

My boyfriend made some soup on Friday evening and I was fine until Saturday morning when I was at work. Suddenly, I developed liquid diarrhea over and over again. Finally, here it is Monday afternoon and the diarrhea has stopped (i think). I did not vomit, I never ran a fever or had a stomach ache. I did feel bloated yesterday and never really lost my appetite too bad. I probably had between 8 and 10 diarrhea stools daily for 2 days.
Do you know anything about this. Could I have gotten something like campylobacter, e coli, or salmonella. I think one of these causes diarrhea without vomiting.
He fixed some type of bean soup with some ham in it (who knows how old it was sitting in the fridge or what else was in it, or how old the ham) I am not sure what all was in the soup. He has some diarrhea too.
I have a raw butt and am very weak now. I remember having a pt about 5 years ago who had campylobacter and she did the same thing with no emesis.
Do you know anything about
