I've got this hard lump behind my right nipple, and when I squeezed it, this yellow pus-like stuff came out, and now the lump seems smaller. It's weird because it only seemed to be on my right side, but I tried squeezing my left nipple too, and some liquid came out, which kinda hurt. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if there's something I should be worried about?

there might be infection like breast abscess. start antibiotic tablet cefixime twice a day for 5 days

I'm 21 years old and stand 5'1". I've heard about speed height capsules and ashwagandha powder. Are there any medicines or supplements out there that can actually help in increasing height? I'm really curious if these options work or if there are others I should consider.

Delayed periods can be concerning. Before considering any medication, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying causes, such as: 1. Pregnancy 2. Hormonal imbalances 3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 4. Thyroid issues If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe: 1. _Medroxyprogesterone acetate_ (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles. 2. _Norethisterone_ (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods. Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to: 1. Unintended side effects 2. Interactions with other medications 3. Masking underlying conditions Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
