View allI'm a 24-year-old woman dealing with some issues that are really worrying me. I've been in a stable relationship for quite a while and have been sexually active for about six years. Usually, everything's okay after sex, but sometimes, two days later, I get really painful vaginal discomfort. It's not all the time, but it's been happening more often. Also, my periods last for about 12 days, which feels longer than usual, and I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I've been on homeopathic treatment for six months. About ten days ago, I had intercourse and have been in severe pain ever since. It's been lingering for the past eight days, and I'm really struggling. What do you suggest I do at this point? It's becoming really tough to handle.
I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Persistent vaginal pain after sex could indicate an infection, irritation, or underlying issue like PCOS-related hormonal changes. Please consult a gynecologist promptly for an evaluation, as timely care is essential for your comfort and health.

I'm a bit concerned because my husband accidentally bit my nipple, and now my left breast is hurting and feels a bit injured. It's been five days, and I haven't taken any medicine yet. Should I be worried about this, or is it time to see a doctor? Would really appreciate some guidance!
Consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a breast specialist, as soon as possible, as a nipple bite can lead to infection, abscess, or even nipple necrosis; although it's been 5 days, seeking medical attention will help assess the injury and provide guidance on wound care, pain management, and preventing potential complications, such as mastitis or breast abscess.

Is there any medicine that can shrink a 5cm fibroid without surgery? My doctor recommended a hysterectomy but we want to have another child so we're looking for other options
Yes, medications like GnRH analogs or uterine artery embolization can shrink fibroids—consult fertility-focused gynecologist for options.
