What are the chances of transmitting gonorrhea through oral sex?
Hi doctor,
Could I have given my new partner gonorrhea? We have only ever engaged in oral sex, and about a week or so later, he started showing symptoms and tested positive. He has since been treated. He says he had not been with anyone else for about two months before being with me. I got tested immediately, of course, and have tested negative. I am not sure how that happened. If he had it before, how did I not get it? And if I had it and gave it to him, will oral gonorrhea show up on traditional testing methods?

What can cause blood in stools?
Hi doctor,
I am facing an embarrassing problem. Since last two weeks, I feel like going to the toilet more than once, while usually I do it only once in the morning. Also, I am a bit uncomfortable as all day it feels like I have not cleared my bowel activities for the day. Recently, about four days back, I noticed blood along with my stool. It was full red in color and fresh. Also, to mention that from last two weeks my stool was very hard. So, I doubt if it is a case of internal tear in the stool passing line and not a serious case of piles. But to add, these days I am feeling a bit uncomfortable near my anus and some sort of itching type, but not exactly itching. Today morning, I saw five to six fresh blood drops and then only stool passed out. I touched my anus with my finger and found fresh and red blood in my fingers. I also found one small blood clot near the anal area. I am really worried about this. Please help me with this.
About 9 years back, the same kind of problem happened. But, my father took me to a doctor and as far I remember the doctor gave me two ointments for application inside the anus. Then after a few days I was fine. Kindly help me and let me know if you want to know anything more.

What is the reason for frequent stomach pain?
Hi doctor,
For the last five to six days, I am having frequent stomach pains. I am a vegetarian and have been in the new place for the last two months. I have been taking only fruits and salads here. This usually happens when I eat something other than fruits and vegetables and is accompanied by bowel movements. I think this mainly happens when I eat mild spicy food. I do not drink alcohol or smoke. I have started taking Nexium from yesterday. Please help.

What are all the reasons for frequent stomach pain?
Hi doctor,
I have been having stomach pains. The pain has been on and off and has been ongoing for the past seven months with each period lasting for two weeks. The pain is on the left side, but does move to the middle. This happens immediately after eating. I have lost weight and appetite. My stools are also runny and light in color. I have had blood tests done, but the only thing that came up was a high hemoglobin count. I would like to get an idea about it.
