• 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.

Consult a Gynecologist for further investigations and treatment.

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her sugar level is high. So I need some suggestions and how she can have a normal baby in this situation or not. The last baby is already born by cesarean.

Female | 28

If your wife's sugar levels are high during pregnancy, it's important to consult a specialist, such as an obstetrician or a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. They can provide personalized advice and monitoring to help manage her condition and ensure the best possible outcome for both her and the baby.

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 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.

Female | 15

Dried up blood spotting, cramps, and brown spotting can have various causes, even if you're not sexually active. It's possible that this could be related to hormonal changes, irregular periods, or other factors. Irregular are common, especially during the early years of menstruation.

Why did i get my period 7 days after my withdrawal bleeding stopped

Female | 20

The menstrual cycle has many factors, including hormones . If hormone levels fluctuate, periods can start early or late. Stress, weight changes, and medications can all affect hormones . It's also possible to have irregular periods without any clear cause . If you're concerned, speak with a HEALTHCARE provider. .
