Doctor's advice:

• Do not delay seeing a doctor if something is concerning you. An accurate diagnosis is already half the battle in successful treatment. Do not self-diagnose based on symptoms found online: similar complaints can have very different causes. Only a doctor can assess the situation and recommend appropriate treatment.
