I'm a bit worried because I had a mammography test about three years back, which showed a fibroadenoma of 1.8 cm. I got married last year, but the tumor is still there. What should I do now?

Fibroadenomas are typically benign and often dont require treatment unless they cause symptoms or grow. Since your tumor has remained stable at 1.8 cm for 3 years, it's generally safe to monitor it. However, I recommend a follow-up ultrasound or consultation with a specialist to assess any changes and discuss your options for management.

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on February 11th, and my period had ended just a few days before on the 8th. I took an Unwanted 72 pill within 7 hours afterward. A week later, I experienced withdrawal bleeding for 5 days. I'm really worried about whether there's still a chance I could be pregnant. Also, I'm confused about when I should expect my next period. Can you please help me figure this out?

I've been having irregular periods just this month, and my gynaecologist put me on Deviry 10mg twice a day for five days. I've taken only two doses so far and I'm noticing some light spotting. I'm a bit worried about whether this is normal and what I should do. Any advice would be really helpful.
