I'm trying to understand more about my urine culture report that showed an E. coli infection. I'm a bit stressed about what this means for treatment. Do I need to take pills, or should I expect injections? Could it require hospital admission? I'd really appreciate some guidance on the diagnosis process and which type of doctor I should see. I've got my reports with me if that helps.

My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

I'm worried about my recent ultrasound results. It says I have left renal cortical cysts and grade II fatty changes in my liver, plus something called prostatomegaly. The report mentions that my left kidney is normal in size and there's no evidence of any stones or hydronephrosis. There are two cystic lesions at the lower pole, one of which is pretty big. Should I be concerned about these findings, especially the cysts and liver changes? What do these terms really mean for my health?

The pain you're experiencing after vomiting could be due to: 1. Irritation and inflammation of the esophagus (food pipe) from stomach acid. 2. Potential tears or ulcers in the esophagus or throat. 3. Spasms or constriction of the esophagus. To alleviate the discomfort: - Stay hydrated with water and electrolyte-rich drinks. - Avoid solid foods for a while; opt for bland, soft foods like yogurt or soup. - Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac may help. - If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
