I noticed a small lump about the size of a pea under my skin near my clitoris about a month ago. It disappeared but now it's come back and feels like a hard little ball. What could this be and should I be worried?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a benign cyst, possibly a Bartholin gland cyst or a blocked gland. While it's usually not a cause for concern, it's a good idea to get it checked by a healthcare provider to rule out any issues and get proper advice on how to manage it.

It's weird because I never had cramps before, and none of the other women in my family, except one aunt, have dealt with this kind of pain. I've had various infections in the past like small intestinal and urinal infections, but those were two years ago, so I'm not sure if there's any connection. It's frustrating because I've seen multiple doctors, and they haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of my problem. Could there be a link between my past infections and these cramps?
-It's possible that past infections could have contributed to changes in your menstrual cycle or pelvic area sensitivity. Sometimes, infections can lead to lingering inflammation or affect the way the uterus responds during menstruation. However, without

I've had a lump in my right breast, around 35 cm, slightly toward the lower side, for about 5 years now. Tried homeopathy but didn't see much improvement. Got a mammogram in 2017 which showed it's a fibroadenoma, and the doctor advised removing it soon, but I'm not keen on surgery. Can it be treated with medication instead? If not, what could happen if I leave it since it doesn't bother me much just occasional mild pain during my period. Also, my periods have been irregular for the past 23 months, sometimes late by 2-3 days or up to a week, but recently it was two weeks late. Could this be related to the lump? Should I be worried?
Long-standing fibroadenoma usually needs surgical removal if symptomatic; medications don’t shrink it, and leaving it may risk growth or discomfort, though not typically linked to periods.
