Post your medical questions and requests for advice here.

Please spoiler all horrifying photos, remove exif data, and crop or edit out identifying details (tattoos, scars, etc). Obviously do not post about medical problems here if you've posted about them elsewhere, or someone else has.

My problem:
I've been experiencing bloating, abdominal discomfort, and reduced appetite the past month or so. I thought it was because I do most of my shitposting on my couch, laying down, with my laptop on an laptop holder on my abdomen. I spent a few days working at my desk and it helps somewhat, but I can't eat for 4 hours before I lay down or else the discomfort returns. But today even sitting down is uncomfortable.

I was feeling my abdomen for anything out of place as I had an inguinal (guts protruding into nutsack) hernia when I was a teen, and after poking and prodding the entire front and back of my torso I noticed that I have a small cavity just below and to the right of my sternum. To the left of the cavity is a lump that's slightly sensitive and painful.

I think I have either a hernia or a torn muscle in my abdomen. I'm gonna call my doctor tomorrow and schedule an appointment.

I'm also concerned that I may have low testosterone or that I tore like my esophagus or something so I'll request a hormone panel (?) and some sort of abdominal scan to verify it's not cancer eating away at my guts or something.

Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Got any advice? Should I fast, eat lighter meals, a liquid diet, or avoid certain foods?
 
Yeah sounds like the beginnings of a hernia.
Avoid lifting anything heavy and hyperextension until you can get a scan of the area.
The low T could be from a sedentary lifestyle and constriction of the testicles while seated can cause those symptoms.
Working out daily t, even lightly can help boost hormone levels, also checking your diet as well as sugar consumption can put strain on your sex organs.
Also your posture and the way you use your laptop in bed can be affecting your abdomen as well so I would get a full metabolic panel with hormone panel and see if you can get a sono of your abdomen and a CT of your torso.
Your esophagus isn't torn you'd know it, even if it was an esophageal spasm it would feel like the beginnings of a heart attack and could not be ignored.. could be low level GERD causing your lack of appetite as well as you not eating as much because you aren't really using much energy to warrant food consumption.
 
Wait, why do you suspect low testosterone? Is it hernia related? I am literally exceptional in medical matters, so bear with me.

You can disinfect wounds by running them under tap water for 5 minutes first, and then dabbing a sterile piece of cloth with some saline solution over the wound. Bandage them, and try to change the bandages twice a day at least to prevent scarring.

Also, not your therapist or your dad and I know it, but self harm on the neck can absolutely be devastating. Try to go for areas with less exposed arteries at the very least.

Oh, and you can give yourself auto-brewery syndrome and get drunk out of all carbohydrates, but it's horribly painful and you'll be stuck on a keto diet for life.

I developed hypothyroidism sitting around all day during the lockdowns, and probably from anxiety and depression and who knows what else. That fucked up my hormones so much that my body upped the estrogen and I started growing bitch tits, necessitating their removal. I'm now on synthetic thyroid hormones (luckily stupid cheap) probably for life, and I had my man-tits removed.

I still have a hard time being motivated, I keep getting injured while lifting and even jogging, and I can't seem to hold on to my gainz no matter what I do.

I want to try steroidal aromatase inhibitors before synthetic testosterone, because they have fewer side effects if you're a man and well past puberty. They permanently degrade an enzyme called aromatase, which converts testosterone to estrogen. So if you take them, your body has less estrogen and more testosterone. If you're an adult male you don't need much estrogen, and we get so much fake estrogen from birth control in the water and food, plastics, and plants that it probably doesn't matter if I block all of the aromatase in my body.

That said, I'd love to get my hands on legal pharmaceutical grade SARMs, which are basically steroids that only affect certain tissues and have fewer side effects.

You can easily cut muscles and connective tissue in the neck, which can fuck up your ability to hold your head upright.

Do yourself a favor and invest in a collection of rubber and wooden paddles, degenerate. Skin is fine for slapping, cutting not so much.

If you're interested in single player mind games, pirate a few self-hypnosis audiobooks and teach yourself how to make yourself believe you are hallucinating.

>literally trooned out from sitting too long and needs to take testosterone to fight back the troonery encroaching his body

Or you could just stop being such a lazy faggot.

Bread with active yeast along with unfinished alcoholic drinks can cause "abs" auto brewery syndrome (no joke). Its rare but basically the sugar gets made into ethanol by a yeast colony in your gut and you're perpetually drunk and gassy. that might be what you mean.
i'm fortunate enough not to have it even with all the homebrew i make and drink but i cant imagine anyone in a healthy mindset would enjoy it. you can lose your license and whatever else drunkenness is a disqualifying factor in.

As for scar removal goes there are several methods involving laser therapy and surgery respectively, not cheap unfortunately but ive heard they actually work, if you can buy it on ebay it probably wont do anything as far as that goes.

EDIT: late, i know, im a slow typer.

>not my fault I can't just open my door and go outside I need to listen to daddy gubmint and bend over when he wants to rape me. Also, I'm fat and trooning out because I'm too poor to afford large heavy objects and too stupid to walk outside and pick up a rock.

Yeah I used to think I was a hardass when I was in my 20s too, now that I'm old and my body is aging I have some humility. You know what they say: what goes around comes around.

That sucks, man. Hope you can get your hands on all the help you need. I'll pass on the hypno stuff because of all the weird sissy stuff I associate it with, though.

I mean that reply for @Cheerlead-in-Chief - my bad.

I used to listen to auto hypnosis tapes I ordered off some guy who was on Art Bell's Coast to Coast. It's pretty useful stuff, I learned how to partially control my heart rate and blood pressure, and to sort of replay memories and movies in my head almost as if I was reliving them.

Well if you're as confident as you are lacking in self-awareness - and you post elsewhere as you do here - I'm sure you'll have a halal thread soon.

That assumes you're not lying, of course. Or abusing my honesty and forthrightness so you can show off to strangers on the internet how much more masculine you are than other people, and how your masculinity affords you superior social status.

It's amazing that the 4chan anon culture creates it's own type of reddit-phag reply guy. While the reddit reply guy pesters female-presenting accounts for attention, the anon reply guy pesters people he claims to loathe. Attention-whoring is not masculine behavior, and neither is grandstanding on the internet. It reeks of insecurity, and is the provenance of homosexuals and ethnic minorities.

Holy shit dude. You post a thread going off about growing bitch tits because you sat around all day and lost all your testosterone on a website that exists to mock and gossip about people doing dumb retarded shit and posting too much personal information. You whine like a bitch...'oh noes I grew bitch tits because the world's been hard, help me and feel sorry for me.' Calm the fuck down and stop being such an estrogen filled faggot.

If you'd actually read my profile you'd know I only made an account here because some waste with too much free time on his hands threatened to make an account here with my username and post dumb/vile stuff until "I" get halal'd. I preempted him, and am here just to shitpost, rubberneck, and for general discussion.

Not only do you waste my time posturing with your own superiority, you offer no assistance to those you consider beneath you. It's a very boomerish mindset: I got mine, fuck you buddy, ahaha look at how much better I am than you!

Shitting on those weaker than you is neither noble or Aryan. Plus your obsession with me and this thread - and my bitch tits - clearly indicates latent homosexuality.

So what you're saying is, you'll have your own thread here soon? I'm looking forward to it.
