Caution
Our medical expert provides the best advice possible within the obvious limitations of this anonymous forum. Your queries are here necessarily answered without the opportunity of a personal consulation and medical examination. Proper and reliable medical advice specific to your particular situation can only be given by in a clinical setting after a private consultation which enables the doctor to be acquainted with your own medical history and present particulars. Liability is therefore specifically waived. If you have any special problems you should see the doctor of your choice, and the professional doctor-patient relationship will impose legal and ethical responsibility for the standard of diagnosis, advice and treatment. If necessary, however, we can in confidence and under condition of anonymity suggest gay-friendly doctors you may wish to consider seeing.

So if you are in doubt that you have a complication and are afraid to go to a doctor, get your first help from Doc Uncle!!
