Likely Famotidine (Pepcid). An antacid (H2 blocker).

Although a Bartholin's cyst is usually not painful, if it becomes infected/abscessed then it can be EXTREMELY painful - much as you describe. If infected, it my rupture and start to heal on its own...

The only "approved" OTC inhalers are just inhaled epinephrine. I'd stay away from them if possible. Although the AMA states that they can be safe and effective, at least 20% of people using them...

OK. First - are you sure you have/had bacterial vaginosis? Did your doctor to a wet prep and look at the slides. Bacterial vaginosis is diagnosed by the presence of "clue" cells on the slide, a...

Probably Deconamine. A combination of Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine) and Pseudoephedrine (decongestant).

I wouldn't go jumping to conclusions. While Hepatitis B is primarily a sexually transmitted disease (via body fluids) it is 100 times more infectious than HIV and, unlike HIV, can live outside the...

First - there is no "cure" for arthritis

Second - Metathione (glutathione) is a tripeptide (mixture of 3 amino acids) that is used as an over-the-counter antioxidant/detoxicant. I doubt that it...

Let's see...

- Known ulcer
- Non-compliant patient
- Throwing up blood
- Taken to hospital

Likely that they will do an endoscopy to see if they can take care of the lesion without surgery. ...

Without actually examining the lesion, it's hard to say what it may be. However, a well demarcated (usually circular), non-tender, motile, fatty, "deposit" under the skin is usually indicative of a...

I'm sure that with your previous hospitalizations you've been thoroughly checked for diabetes, but low or high blood sugar should be easy enough to check, either in the doctor's office or if you have...

Problem here is that you really haven't substituted a generic for a brand name. Sounds like you were on Tenormin (brand name of the generic atenolol) and have been changed to Toprol XL (brand name...

Is it just when having intercourse, i.e. just when your partner is on top, or would it happen if you were to just masturbate on your back? Have you ever had a back injury? The erection is primary...

I'm still leaning in favor of chronic prostatitis. The symptoms of chronic prostatitis usually involve some pain or change in urination, but do certainly account for the symptoms that you have. The...

Well, I think your symptoms warrant a repeat visit to the Urologist. Did he/she do a proper prostate exam (the one finger salute)? A chronic prostate infection could be the cause of both symptoms...

This, combined with your other post about a groin rash, should make you consider a visit to your doctor ASAP.

That's correct. Since I have all this ceiling paint, I'd rather use it up rather than going out and buying primer. The walls are new - no stains - just drywall, tape, and mud.

Thanks

Please be more specific as to the area involved (e.g. inner thigh, scrotum, pubis, etc) as the "middle of the groin" is a little too vague. Also, is the pain constant, associated with movement,...

First more questions:
1) Is the burning at the meatus (opening at the tip of your penis) or does it feel as if it is coming from the bladder?
2) Is your urination and ejaculation otherwise normal?...

You may have a yeast infection -- especially if you had taken antibiotics for your recent bacterial infections (antibiotics may you more prone to a yeast infection).

Any of the conditions you...

Most likely levothyroxine sodium (generic of Synthroid). A thyroid medication.

I've go a ton of left over off-white ceiling paint. Can I use that as a primer for newly constructed drywall walls, or would that be, well, stupid? Or at the very least, a waste of time.

In my experience, diarrhea and/or gas are not the most common side effects of this medication, but diarrhea is listed in the PDR as a common side effect. And remember, you can attribute almost any...

Any new headache or change in pattern of headaches should prompt you to see your physician and DEMAND an imaging study.

She may have a hordeolum (commonly known as a sty) which is a small abscess (bacterial infection) of the glands associated with eyelash follicles. A similar condition is a chalazion. The symptoms...

Thanks Speedball1, that was quick! Too bad the experts on these forums don't live in my area.

OK, since it's not going to be convenient for me to connect the shower drain upstream of the toilet...

Hello. I'm new to this site, but have "lurked" for some time. I've seen many postings that just don't quite address my problems.

I'm finishing our basement, which has the "standard" rough-in...
