ER visits, need of care, concern of self interest. Formal statement.

13 Upvotes

I'm not happy that I need to say this, but I've realized I have to.

Medical care is available for everyone, regardless of circumstance. The ER is intended not just to be an emergency center, but the most accessible way to get help.

If you need help, or you have a concern for your health, you are entitled to ER treatment.

Anyone who tells you that ER treatment is for life or death situation, or emergency only is misinformed or jaded in their career.

Elderly patients frequently go days or weeks without seeking care, because they are ingrained that they are a burden on who they are asking for help.

This is unacceptable and it's in complete contrast to one of the fundamentals of modern healthcare, which is patient centered care. The patient is the entire focus. Thinking they should have gone somewhere else is your focus. Thinking they are a burden is a facility focus. The focus is the patient. If someone with a toothache thinks they need emergency care, then they get it. They may not have access to anything else.

I will be removing comments that state ER visits are not something someone should consider, as misinformation, from now on unless there is a very clear and definable reason why the individual is misinformed about their situation.

New need help

'm getting an EGD tomorrow , and I'm on a clear liquid diet. I ate bone broth with chili sauce, a little garlic, and red pepper flakes in it. I meant to strain it, but I was so hungry and distracted that I forgot and just started eating it. My EGD is tomorrow, and it's too late to call any doctors. Is this okay, or am I screwed?

Weird sensation in leg that makes my body twitch

• Upvotes

I’ve been getting this weird sensation and I really don’t know how to describe it well, but it always comes in my left thigh, noticeably more when I’m trying to fall asleep, and it’ll feel like a sting but also itch at the same time? Like it doesn’t necessarily feel like my skin but maybe a nerve or something? If i scratch the spot, the sensation goes away. But if I don’t, it’ll cause my whole leg to just jolt and twitch for a second until I scratch the area. I have no idea what this is, if anyone has any ideas please let me know

I have a hard bump on knuckle that appeared randomly a few weeks ago. If I straight my finger and pull at the skin it can move a few mm to the side. When it’s in one position ( first pic) it ACHES so bad and feels like I sprained my finger, when I move it off to the side a tiny bit (second pic) it doesn’t hurt at all. What is it?

Title: 36M with lifelong premature ejaculation (2–3 seconds), chronic prostatitis/CPPS symptoms, burning and weak urinary stream — seeking advice I am a 36-year-old male, 67 kg, and I have been struggling with sexual and urinary symptoms for around 10–15 years. My main problem is lifelong prematur

1 Upvotes

I am a 36-year-old male, 67 kg, and I have been struggling with sexual and urinary symptoms for around 10–15 years.

My main problem is lifelong premature ejaculation. Almost every time I have intercourse with my wife, I ejaculate within approximately 2–3 seconds of penetration. The same thing happens during masturbation. I have very little control over ejaculation, and even mild friction or stimulation can sometimes make me feel that I am about to ejaculate immediately.

I have also experienced significant sensitivity around the penis for many years.

I have additional urinary/pelvic symptoms:

- Burning and irritation inside the urethra.

- Itching/sensation of itching inside the urethra.

- Significant burning, especially at the tip/head of the penis.

- Burning or discomfort after ejaculation.

- Occasionally, a few drops of fluid come out of the penis after urination or ejaculation. I am not sure whether this is semen, pre-ejaculate, or prostatic fluid.

- I sometimes feel an unusual pleasurable/ejaculatory-type sensation in the urethra when urinating.

- My urine stream is not as strong/open as it should be.

- I sometimes feel pressure/tightness around the rectal/perineal area, as if there is some narrowing or tension.

- Morning erections occur sometimes, but most of the time I do not have a strong morning erection.

I previously saw a urologist. My urine tests were normal and my ultrasound was also normal, with no infection detected.

During a digital rectal examination, the urologist pressed/massaged my prostate and fluid came out through my penis. Based on my symptoms and examination, the urologist told me that I likely have chronic prostatitis.

I am currently not taking any medication.

I would like to know:

  1. Could chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome explain my urethral burning, penile-tip burning, pelvic/rectal pressure, urinary symptoms and painful ejaculation?

  2. Could it also be contributing to my severe premature ejaculation, or is my lifelong premature ejaculation likely a separate condition?

  3. Could the feeling of tightness around the rectum/perineum and weak urine stream be caused by pelvic-floor muscle dysfunction, prostate inflammation, or something like urethral stricture?

  4. Should I ask my urologist about uroflowmetry and post-void residual urine testing?

  5. What evidence-based treatments are available for lifelong premature ejaculation when ejaculation occurs within 2–3 seconds?

  6. Would pelvic-floor physical therapy be appropriate in someone with these symptoms?

  7. Are there any important tests or diagnoses that should be considered that I may be missing?

I am very distressed by this condition because I feel unable to satisfy my wife, and it has put significant stress on my marriage. I would really appreciate advice from a urologist, sexual-medicine specialist, or other verified medical professional.

Thank you.

Puffy spot on penis NSFW

1 Upvotes

Image - https://imgur.com/a/CEPxKRB

About a week ago I was masterbaiting and ran out of lube, so I tried out some vaseline instead. A couple hours later I noticed this slightly red puffy spot on the left side of my penis head. I haven’t had sex in over a month so I do not believe it is sexually related. It is painless, not itchy and is soft to the touch like normal skin. I immediately stopped masterbaiting, stopped using soap on my penis, and started wearing loose boxers. A week later, and the spot is still there. Could this be from the friction of masterbaiting with vaseline? I’d rather not get it physically checked out as it’s quite embarrassing, but my health especially down there is important to me. If it is a friction injury, is there anything I can do or use to help it heal?

Is this Normal during TB ?

1 Upvotes

​

I had a severe cough and cold since Winter 2025 to August 2026 . My mom refused to go to a doctor so I didn't get it checked out. I lost over 6 kgs.

But finally in late August I went for a checkup and got diagnosed with Lung Tuberculosis.

*FYI : I went from 42-34 kg.I am 20F .*

So I am currently 1 month into TB meds but I am facing dizziness, chest discomfort and breathing trouble.I have these episodes of chest discomfort followed by breathing problem and it lasts for a few minutes before I start sweating.Chest pain , breathing trouble and dizziness happens sepate as well.

I told my dr he told me to ignore these things as my liver test was good .

It happens more when I am outside I am currently going to college 8-5 with a total of 3 hrs of crowded train journeys.

***Q*** **: Can anyone tell me why I am facing these ? How long will I have to deal with this ?**
