I'm 28 years old and I've been having a period cycle of 26 to 27 days. I've recently gotten married and noticed I've gained 8 kgs in just 3 months. Is my period cycle normal, and should I be concerned about the sudden weight gain?

A lump near the belly button can be concerning.
Possible causes:
- Umbilical hernia: A small protrusion of intestine or tissue through a weakened area near the belly button.
- Abscess or cyst: Infected or fluid-filled lump.
- Lipoma: Benign fatty tumor.
Consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may perform:
- Physical examination
- Imaging tests (ultrasound or CT scan)
- Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.

I've got a couple of things on my mind. I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's okay to have bournvita milk during pregnancy? It really tastes good, and I'm curious if it's safe for my baby. Today, I had two tablespoons in warm milk for the first time and now I'm questioning if it's alright to keep having it throughout my pregnancy. Another thing, my ObGyn recommended Mothers Horlicks to me but I can't seem to find it anywhere, not even online. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?
It's generally safe to have Bournvita in moderation during pregnancy, but keep in mind it contains sugar and added ingredients. 1-2 tablespoons with milk is fine, but you should be cautious not to overconsume. For a substitute for Mother's Horlicks, you can try other pregnancy-specific nutritional drinks like Ensure or Similac Mom, or consult your doctor for alternative options that meet your nutritional needs.

I've noticed that the skin on the right side between my vagina and anus feels hard, almost like there's a lump under the skin. It's quite painful, and I'm really concerned. I'm wondering if this could be something harmful?
This could be due to a condition called a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. I recommend using sitz baths to help reduce the pain and swelling. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics or drainage of the cyst may be necessary.
