  • Should I go to the ER for vomiting and diarrhea?

    Duration of nausea and vomiting by itself isn't typically a reason to go to the ED. However, if you are having severe abdominal pain, fever, blood in the stool, confusion, or are getting dehydrated - those are all reasons to go to the ED. If the vomiting and diarrhea persist for several days, that would be a reason to go to the clinic to see a provider. READ MORE

  • How can I improve my mental health without medication?

    Physical and mental health are often linking, so a healthy lifestyle can have a positive impact on mental health. Another option is to speak with a therapist or counselor. They are generally able to help people work through issues and come up with coping mechanisms. Mental health is a complex area, and there are many variables that play into it, so talking with a provider in person regarding to bet a better idea of the specifics for you would also be beneficial.

  • Can a UTI make it difficult to urinate?

    Yes, difficulty urinating can be a sign of a UTI. Other potential signs of a UTI include: pain or burning with urination, increased frequency of urination, or odor. However, UTIs in males, especially young males, are less common (unless you have other medical problems involving the urinary tract), and there are other things which can cause difficulty urinating, so I would recommend talking to your doctor.

  • How can you tell the difference between a malignant and benign tumor?

    That varies a lot depending on where the tumor is (skin, abdomen, brain, etc.) Certain tumors, like lipomas (which are benign fatty tumors), are fairly easy to diagnose just from the exam. We can get clues from the history and exam (characteristics of the tumor itself, other symptoms, family history), but those only give so much information. In certain instances lab tests and imaging provide more clues. Generally the gold standard for diagnosing is a biopsy. With a biopsy, the pathologist can look at the cells themselves to determine if they are benign or malignant. READ MORE

  • Does being a type 2 diabetic increase my chances of getting covid-19?

    In general, diabetes makes you more susceptible to infections, but there isn't enough data so far to show if diabetics get COVID-19 more than the general population. What we have seen, however, is that diabetics who do get COVID-19 have higher rates of serious complications (especially if their diabetes is poorly controlled). The American Diabetes Association is a great source of information and has a webpage with FAQs related to Diabetes and the Corona virus which can be found at https://www.diabetes.org/covid-19-faq READ MORE
