From December 2024, I had symptoms such as pain and burning after urination, burning after ejaculation, difficulty starting urine and intact burning randomly if I sit or stand for long. The burning feels like it affects my thighs as well. Went to multiple urologist. None helped until i went to a new one and got diagnosed with E. coli in semen. This was already 6 months now. I got prescribed IV antibiotics for 2 weeks twice daily and after a month now, there is no E. coli left in my semen culture. But still completing the entire dose of antibiotics, I am half relieved. The symptoms comes and goes. The intensity of these symptoms after the antibiotics are a little less but the pattern is same. Infact the burning which starts remains for hours causing discomfort which is sometimes more, sometimes less. The urologist prescribed me another 2 set of antibiotics namely bactrim ds and doxt sl 100 for 2 weeks along with a nerve medication and alpha blocker. I want to know is it curable?

I have tingling in both legs and lower feet pain, especially while sitting. Six months ago, I was diagnosed with Vitamin B12 deficiency and took high-dose B12 supplements for 45 days. I did not recheck B12 levels after that. While sitting, tingling and discomfort worsen, but improve temporarily when I lie down with knees bent or after taking B12 supplements—though relief lasts only 2–3 hours. Recently, I noticed the symptoms shifting from the glute region to the groin area. I'm also experiencing muscle tightness and nerve-like sensations. I’ve had a sedentary lifestyle involving long sitting periods. Could this be due to unresolved B12 deficiency, sciatic or pudendal nerve involvement, or something else? Should I restart B12 or do further nerve or vitamin testing? Please guide on next steps.

I also have burping, mild bloating, and occasional chest heaviness, but no acid reflux, burning, or vomiting, i do feel constipated but stool is somewhat normal. Also feel stressed out and anxious googling symptoms. I have done a course of Ciplox for 6 days and Cefixime and Orni for 4 days. Done CBC, CRP, LFT, KFT and Ultrasound, all reports are normal. I have confirmed vitamin B12 and D deficiencies, currently taking Ganaton total, Colospa Retard, Bifilac, Evion, Nurokind OD, and recently added Zandu Aampachak.

I have been facing multiple health issues that seem connected. About 3 years ago, I suffered from a urinary tract infection (UTI). Since then, I’ve noticed irregular periods and occasional bleeding even outside my cycle. I also experience a bad-smelling vaginal discharge, which sometimes increases in quantity and causes discomfort. Along with that, I feel sharp pain in my lower abdomen during intercourse, which makes it difficult and painful. Over time, I’ve also started getting painful bumps on my face filled with pus. These skin issues are persistent and seem hormonal. I am really worried that all these symptoms could be connected and may indicate a deeper gynecological or hormonal issue. I am looking for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a specialist. I need help understanding what’s going on with my body and how to manage or treat these symptoms. Please guide me on what steps I should take next.

I frequently experiencing significant anxiety in social situations. This includes heightened sense of self-consciousness and discomfort while interacting with other particularly strangers. I often feel embarrassed and I am deeply concerned about being judged in social situations. This causes my body to freeze, my heart to race, sweating and blushing and I'll go blank and get distracted while talking and what was I talking about. I avoid eye contact with people almost all the time even with known people. Many times, I imagine some things happening a particular way or happening at all, but others around me will say that this event did not happen at all in this makes me question my perception of reality and this causes a great mental unease. Whenever I am alone. I'll have these multiple racing thoughts in my mind. It's like a constant chaos and overactivity inside my mind, because of this I'm not able to go to sleep properly and I frequently get zoned out.
