Hi Dr.
I've got uncomfortable v*****l discharge,ther Dr said ts normal bt ts too much n sometimes I'll hv pain in my right n it will come out heavely.
Hw possible s the normality? Hi, if you feel that the discharge is uncomfortable and heavy, and as*ociated with pain, then this is unlikely to be "normal". I suggest you see another Doctor or your Gynae

are there any p****,scrotum or testicle related deseases that one can get without se*ual intercourse?
Yes, there are many! Most STI\'s present with a discharge from the p**** or an ulcer on the p****, so issues with the scrotum or testes are not usually STI-related.

Doc, I\'m on Fortzaar but I\'m retaining water in my legs and feet to extent that I can\'t move my ankles and its painful. I\'m also using Natura Corp for water retention but its not helping. I\'m eating healthy aswell. Pls help......
Hi, ankle swelling (oedema) can also be due to heart problems, kidney or even liver disease. You need to see your GP for an as*essment as well as blood tests to exclude any of the above.
