I have several health issues. What's wrong with me?
Hello doctor,
I am 28 and weigh 115 lbs. I have an ulcerative colitis flare up, a cold sore outbreak, genital herpes outbreak, and a knee injury that will not heal. The lab tests confirmed an infection with both the herpes viruses. What is happening to me? I work 65 hours a week as a geologist. My job is physically and mentally demanding. I am emotionally distressed due to my health problems. I have had ulcerative colitis for the last 12 years.

What is the risk of hantavirus infection from rat feces?
Hello doctor,
My partner and I cleaned a garage yesterday and there were a lot of rat droppings. Some may even have fallen on our faces while lifting and moving boxes. I did not think anything of it until I researched hantavirus. We do not have any symptoms, but should we get tested? Can we get tested without symptoms?

What causes abdominal pain while urinating and RBC in urine?
Hello doctor,
From the last two years, I have some problems. At an interval of 2 to 3 months, I sometimes get lower abdominal pain while urinating. A few months back, the pain was terrible for two days. I consulted my doctor, and he advised me some medications. He told that it is a case of cystitis. My KUB ultrasound was found normal. But during a health checkup a few days back, RBC was detected in my urine. So, the doctor told me that I have a chance of having a kidney stone. I am uploading my urine report for further details.

Is the morning-after pill effective even during ovulation?
Hi doctor,
I had unprotected sex yesterday and he pulled out of me. When we finished, I looked at my period tracker app and noticed that my period should come in four days and that I was ovulating. I took the morning-after pill immediately afterward. Will the pill work? What are the chances of me getting pregnant? I am going out of my mind. Please help me.
