On call: Baker’s cyst

I’m 67. Recently, I noticed a soft swelling behind my left knee. I saw an orthopedist who told me I have a Baker’s cyst. He said I don’t need any tests or treatments, but I worry that it may interfere with my tennis. Should I ignore it or get treatment?

On call: PSA variability

I’ve been tracking my PSA ever since I turned 50, 11 years ago. Since I just moved from St. Louis to Denver, my next test will be done in a new lab. Will the change in labs affect my levels?

On call: Periodontitis and your heart

I am a 56-year-old man with high blood pressure. My dentist found gum disease and referred me to a periodontist for treatment. I know that high blood pressure increases my risk of heart disease, and I’ve been told that gum disease does too. Is it true?

On call: Eyelid inflammation

I don’t have allergies, but my eyes often burn and itch. My vision is fine, but my eyes are sometimes bloodshot, and I come down with two or three sties a year. I don’t want to bother my doctor with such a minor problem, but I wonder if you can help.

On call: Winter depression

My wife gets down in the dumps each January. She thinks it’s just because the holidays have come and gone, but I think it’s more than that. Is it depression?

On call: Sexual dysfunction and heart disease in women

My wife and I have read that erectile dysfunction can be a warning for future heart disease in men. My wife is experiencing a drop in her sex drive. She’ll be seeing her gynecologist for help, but we wonder if she should see a cardiologist, too.

On call: Flomax and cataract surgery

I am 78, with an enlarged prostate and cataracts. I take Flomax for my prostate, but I’ve been told that it can cause complications during cataract surgery. Should I stop taking Flomax before I have surgery- -and if so, what should I do about my prostate?
