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.

I'm really young and feeling awkward about my large breasts. I'm looking for some advice on creams or treatments to reduce their size. I came across this VLCC firming cream, but I'm hesitant to try it because I'm worried about potential side effects. Since I'm unmarried, surgery isn't really an option for me. Could you suggest anything?
For breast reduction without surgery, consider consulting a general surgeon for personalized advice; some herbal and natural remedies like saw palmetto, turmeric, or ginger may help, but their effectiveness is largely anecdotal; as for creams, VLCC's breast firming cream may help with toning, but its effectiveness for reduction is uncertain, and be cautious of potential side effects like skin irritation or allergic reactions.
