I'm a bit worried about this lump under the skin on my mons pubis. It was painful when I first noticed it, but now it doesn't hurt. It's been a week since I found it. What could this be? Should I see a doctor right away or wait a little longer to see if it changes?

Painless lump under your mons pubis skin could be due to various reasons such as an ingrown hair, a cyst, or a lipoma. It is advisable to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management. In the meantime, you can apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce any inflammation. If it is determined to be an ingrown hair, over-the-counter topical antibiotics like Neosporin can be used. If it is a cyst or a lipoma, further treatment options can be discussed with your healthcare provider.

How many days after period can you not get pregnant?

You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

I'm having some trouble with my periods lately. They've gotten kind of irregular, and I used to bleed for about 5 days, but now it's down to just 2 days. I had an ultrasound done, and it came back normal. What could be causing this change?

if you have increase in weight also, then do ultrasonography and confirm for polycystic ovarian disease

I'm really worried because I got my test results back and it says my baby might have Trisomy 21 and it's classified as a high risk. Can you help me understand what this means for my baby? What steps should I take next? I'm feeling really anxious about this situation.

A Trisomy 21 positive result with high risk indicates a strong likelihood of Down syndrome in your baby, which can affect physical and intellectual development; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, understand the risks, and consider further testing options, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, to confirm the diagnosis, and prepare for potential outcomes.
