I'm a 41-year-old woman and have been healthy overall. Until recently, my menstrual cycle was quite regular at 25 days, but since April, it has shifted to once every 50 days, so now I'm getting my period every two months. Along with this change, I've also started feeling breast pain, much like the sensation during pregnancy. I'm wondering if these are signs of menopause starting. Should I be considering any medication for this? For context, my mom began menopause in her 40s too.

Its possible that youre experiencing early perimenopause, especially given the changes in your menstrual cycle and breast tenderness, which are common symptoms. Since your mother also went through menopause in her 40s, this could be hereditary. Its a good idea to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to discuss whether any treatment or lifestyle changes would be helpful for managing symptoms.

View allWe recently visited the doctor because my wife is pregnant. Two months ago, she had a miscarriage, and the doctor recommended Duphaston. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take Jigest 10mg as a substitute for Duphaston 10mg. Is it safe for us to make this switch? Would love your advice on this.
Jigest 10mg Tablet and Duphaston 10mg Tablet are not exactly the same, although they are used for similar purposes. _Key Differences_ 1. _Active Ingredient_: Duphaston contains Dydrogesterone, while Jigest contains Micronized Progesterone. 2. _Hormonal Action_: Both medications are progestins, but they have slightly different hormonal actions and effects on the body. _Substitution Safety_ While Jigest can be used as a substitute for Duphaston in some cases, it's essential to consult your doctor before making any changes to your wife's medication regimen.

I have a 37x15x14 mm oval-shaped T1T2 hypointense submucosal fibroid with polypoidal extension into the endocervical canal. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that could work instead since I want to have another baby and already have a 2-year-old. Should I go ahead with the surgery or try other options first?
surgery is option only.

I'm really worried because I haven't had my period for the last 6 months, and I can feel something hard in my belly. I don't really feel any other symptoms, but back in January, I had typhoid and jaundice. Could this be related to that? I also had sex in November, but my missed period started before then. Is it possible that I might be pregnant, or could it be something else entirely?
Given your 6-month amenorrhea (absence of periods), feeling something hard in your belly, and previous illnesses like typhoid and jaundice, it's essential to consult a gynecologist
