I've noticed this small lump near my groin that's really painful when I touch it. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering if there's a specific treatment I should be considering or if this is something that needs immediate attention. Would you be able to give me some guidance on what I should do next?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node or an abscess. I recommend using an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area several times a day to help reduce the swelling and discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment.

View allI'm really curious about something and a bit worried. Does precum actually contain sperm, or does urination completely clear any leftover sperm from the urethra? I've heard different things and just want to understand better because it's kind of confusing. Can you help clarify this for me?
Excessive vomiting during pregnancy can be concerning. Consider the following: - Consult your doctor about prescription anti-emetics like Zofran or Metoclopramide. - Try ginger-based products like ginger tea, ginger ale, or ginger candies. - Eat small, frequent meals to avoid overwhelming your stomach. - Avoid spicy or fatty foods that can trigger vomiting. - Rest and stay hydrated by sipping water or electrolyte-rich drinks. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: - Severe dehydration - Blood in vomit - Fever above 101.5F (38.6C)

My mom is 62 and diabetic recently got tested for a UTI and her report showed pus cells at 1015 but the urine culture came back negative for bacteria. She had her bladder removed a few years ago in surgery. Could the negative culture still mean an infection or what else might be causing the high pus cells?
continue tablet ceftas 200 mg per orally twice daily for 7 days ,culture and sensitivity of urine is advised.
