• Breast pain can be associated with anything from Fibrocystic breast changes, menstruation related cyclic pain, pregnancy, breastfeeding, side effects of certain medications, infection such as mastitis to inflammatory breast cancer.
• Heaviness of breast is because of various reasons such as large breasts, breast cysts, mastitis, pain originating from chest wall or pectoral muscles but not related to breasts and in rare cases associated with Breast cancer.
Further investigation is required in your case so as to confirm the cause behind the breast pain which include:
Mammogram - Mammogram may assist you in diagnosis where in case the doctor feels a breast lump or unusual thickening or detects a focused area of pain your breast tissue, an x-ray of breast will help in evaluating the area of concern.
Breast examination - In which health care provider will examine your breasts as well as the lymph nodes in your lower neck and underarm for changes and will most likely listen to your heart and lungs and examine your chest and belly to see whether the discomfort is caused by another ailment. If your medical history, breast exam, and physical exam find nothing out of the ordinary, you may not require any extra testing.
Ultrasound - An ultrasound exam, which employs sound waves to create pictures of your breasts, is frequently performed in conjunction with a mammogram. Even if the mammography seems normal, you may require an ultrasound to check a specific location of discomfort.
Biopsy of the breast - Suspicious breast lumps, thickening regions, or unusual areas observed during imaging scans may require a biopsy before your doctor can establish a diagnosis. During a biopsy, your doctor collects a tiny sample of breast tissue from the affected region and sends it to a lab for investigation.
• Tamoxifen is usually prescribed in treatment of patients who have cancerous growth in the breast.
• Breast tenderness can be managed with application of warm or cold compresses, occasional use of pain killers, low fat and high complex carbohydrate involved diet and limiting the consumption of alcohol and caffeine.

My last period was on jan 2 and have been having unprotected sex since then i did a home pregnancy test and the result was one dark line at C and faint line at T also have brownish and red blood since yesterday
Female | 23
Here's what your symptoms indicate - there's a possibility you're pregnant. The test revealing one dark line and one faint line could signify early pregnancy. And that brownish, reddish blood? It might be implantation bleeding, something that can occur in those initial stages. But to know for certain, you'll need to take another pregnancy test or see a gynecologist.

My sister is pregnant ..she is 38 weeks and her cerebroPlacental ratio is 1 is that normal
Female | 23
The cerebroPlacental ratio of 1 at 38 weeks gestation is within normal parameters. This measurement evaluates the rate of blood flow to the baby's brain. A low ratio could potentially indicate complications such as fetal growth restriction. However, in your sister's specific situation, the results are reassuring. It's advisable for her to maintain consistent prenatal care appointments with her gynecologist to ensure continued monitoring for a healthy pregnancy outcome.

hey my name is nandini and I am 23 years old I had intercourse 15 days before my periods and after that I got my period on time but after my periods end I am having pinch pain in my lower abdomen I getting yellow pee it's 1 week to go now I feel today burn in my stomach am I pregnant or not Nd if I am get i had I pill
Female | 23
It's possible those symptoms might be tied to some other causes like a urinary tract infection or indigestion rather than pregnancy. The pinch pain and yellow pee could indicate an infection, while the burn in your stomach may suggest indigestion. If you took the emergency contraceptive pill, it's less likely you're pregnant. But, if you're unsure or if the symptoms persist, it's best to visit a gynecologist for a check-up.

I think I might be pregnant, I have missed period and have other symptoms, I want to abort it it's only been a week, recommend me medications and also I have had an appendix operation 2 years ago, so if that can threaten my health and also prevention from side effects of medical abortion
Female | 21
Not having a period as well as other symptoms can mean that you are pregnant. But do not worry as it is still too early to say; It's only been one week. Having had an appendix operation two years ago would not affect doing a medical abortion. It’s important to take note of the potential side effects of the drugs such as heavy bleeding, nausea or even cramping – therefore be careful. Seek professional guidance from a gynecologist before making any decisions.

I've had sex and after 3 days periods started and on next month periods are delayed almost about 15 days.
Female | 20
Periods don't always need to be regular. Irregular periods can occur for various reasons, even after sex and ejaculation. Bleeding three days after sex could be implantation bleeding, stress, hormonal imbalances, or even pregnancy. If you are nervous, you can take a pregnancy test. To help regulate your periods, stay healthy, eat well, and manage stress.

I'm a 21 yr female I have question that if I'm taking ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets and had unprotected sex is there a chance of pregnancy and before sex I have been taking this pills from 2-3 days
Female | 21
Contraception is the most common application of ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets. Almost always, if you are taking the tablets in the indicated manner, you won't get pregnant. However, if you made love without putting on a condom during 2-3 days of pill usage, you might get pregnant. Other signs of pregnancy are headache, shooting pains in the abdomen, and swollen feet. In addition to the tablets, identify other birth control and ask about it from a gynecologist if you want to be on the safe side.

I am a 23 year old female. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend and took the morning after pill three times in one month. We had sexual intercourse twice in a span of two weeks and I took the morning after pill both times. Then I got my period so we stopped, when I came off we had sexual intercourse again and I took the morning after pill, then a few days later got heavy bleeding like a period for 6-7 days. Since then we haven’t had any sexual intercourse. This was last month. This month I haven’t gotten my period yet. It’s delayed. Is it because the morning after pills alters hormones? Or am I pregnant?
Female | 23
Since you took the morning after pill multiple times within a month may have altered your menstrual cycle and caused a delay in your period. But there is still a possibility of pregnancy even if you have taken the morning after pill. Because emergency contraception is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, and repeated use of the pill within a short period of time may decrease its effectiveness.

I'm 22 years old,I got my period on May 20-23.I had sex on 29,i used ECp on May 31st to prevent ovulation (I was like 5-6 days away from ovulation).I started to have brown discharge and mild cramps on June 9.It turned red on 10 and today being 11.It doesn't really stain my paint liner. I only get drops when I pee or poop.Normal?. When will it stop as well?.
Female | 22
The brown discharge could be old blood and early signs of the period starting. The routine of the ECp may have altered your cycle. Cramps are usually mild during periods. The bleeding should cease within a few days. It’s fine to observe for now. If it becomes heavy or lasts for a long time then you might want to have it looked at.

You could be dealing with irregular periods and heavy bleeding. This may be caused by hormone imbalances or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome. Having sex can sometimes change your menstrual flow. To help make your periods more regular, try keeping track of when they come, and talking to a gynecologist for advice.

Hi, I am Rh negative my husband is positive this is my 4th pregnancy.my first baby is rh + blood group he is 5 years old ,second abortion,third normal delivered rh + but due to rh complications(jaundice) he was die. Now I am completed 6 months of pregnancy indirect coombs is positive titre is around 1:1024. My question is can I take anti -d 28 weeks Is it helpful to reduce harmful antibodies.??
Female | 29
Receiving an Anti-D injection at 28 weeks helps reduce harmful antibodies in your body. In cases of Rh incompatibility, where the mother and baby's blood types don't match, this injection can protect your baby's health. Rh incompatibility can lead to serious issues like jaundice, so Anti-D prevents your body from producing antibodies that could harm your baby. It's important to follow your doctor's treatment plan closely for the best outcome. Make sure to visit a gynecologist if you experience any concerns.
