I'm a bit curious and a little concerned about the MPDAslide test. Is this test specifically for detecting malaria, or can it find other things too? And I'm also wondering, how exactly is this test carried out?

Concerning symptoms; medical attention is necessary.

Possible causes:

Perianal abscess Hemorrhoids Anal fissure Proctitis

Advise your husband to:

Consult a gastroenterologist or general surgeon Get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan Avoid self-medication and home remedies

Reassure him that most anal problems are treatable with medical attention.

I'm really anxious about a recent encounter I had with someone at a spa. We only had straight vaginal sex for about a minute and used a new condom, which didn't break. She removed it carefully with tissue, so I thought everything was okay. I got tested for HIV 12 days later, and it came back non-reactive, but I'm still really nervous because I don't know if she has HIV or not. What should I do?

No need to worry get your self tested 6 months once for a period of 2 years as you had risky exposure.

I'm really worried because I was bitten by a dog and someone mentioned it could be rabid. How long should I be on the lookout for symptoms of rabies to show up? I've heard it can vary. Can you tell me what the shortest and longest time frames usually are for most people?

Loose and painful testicles can be concerning. Possible causes: 1. Varicocele (enlarged veins) 2. Hydrocele (fluid accumulation) 3. Epididymitis (inflammation) 4. Testicular torsion (twisted spermatic cord) Nutritional deficiencies are unlikely to be the primary cause. The urologist's assessment and echo test results suggest no underlying structural issues. However, to alleviate symptoms, consider: 1. Wearing supportive underwear 2. Applying warm compresses 3. Managing stress 4. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle Schedule a follow-up with your urologist to re-evaluate and address any concerns.
