If your knee feels like it is suddenly collapsing and unable to support you when getting in and out of a car or walking downstairs, you may have a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
The ACL plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee joint. Once torn, it can make the knee feel extremely unstable, as if it could "give out" at any moment.

Painful urination in young men may signal a urinary tract infection. For older men, it could be a sign of an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
If these symptoms are accompanied by blood in the urine or elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, there is a need to be highly vigilant about the possibility of prostate or bladder cancer.
Recommended Departments: Depending on the cause of the fever:
Infectious Fever: Infectious Disease or Respiratory Department
Non-Infectious Fever: Depending on the specific condition, choose Hematology, Oncology, etc.
If a fever persists for several days without cold symptoms and is accompanied by excessive sweating or chills (especially at night), it could be a sign of infectious (bacterial) endocarditis or a heart valve infection.
Additionally, underlying malignant tumors such as leukemia or lymphoma can also cause persistent fever for several weeks. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly for an examination.
Recommended Departments: Ophthalmology
Sudden flashes of light in the vision can be an early symptom of retinal detachment, an urgent ophthalmic issue. If such symptoms occur, it is crucial to seek help from an ophthalmologist immediately to avoid delaying treatment.
