A friend of mine's been having a bit of discomfort on the left side of her left breast, and it's kind of feeling hard in that area. Is this something we should be worried about? What's the best way for her to deal with this?

Question

I'm a 26-year-old woman with a 10-month-old daughter, and I've noticed something that's been bothering me. About a year and a half ago, my sexual desire started to gradually fade, and now it feels like it has completely disappeared. My husband and I can go months without being intimate, and honestly, it doesnt really bother me. When we do have intimate moments, its more out of obligation because I feel guilty about making him wait so long. I'm worried about why this is happening and wondering if there's something I should be doing to bring back my desire. Could there be an underlying issue I need to address?

Question

I've been experiencing a delay in my periods but haven't noticed any other issues, aside from normal white discharge. Should I be concerned, and what might be causing this delay? Any advice on how to address it would be really appreciated!

Question

I'm really worried because I've been having a high fever between 102 and 104. I've been taking Dolo 650 three times a day to bring it down, but the fever keeps coming back with a lot of shivering. I delivered about six weeks ago and had an episiotomy, and I'm still dealing with a lot of stitches pain. Is taking Dolo 650 six times in two days too much? I'm also having a lot of lower back pain, back pain, headache, and neck nerve pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?
