I'm a bit worried because my wife's pregnancy test came back positive, but we weren't planning on having another baby right now since our little one is just two years old. Her period was supposed to start on the 23rd of this month. Could you give us some advice on what we should do next? We're really looking for a solution.

While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible. Precum can contain sperm, and if it comes into contact with the vagina, pregnancy can theoretically occur. However, the chances are very slim, especially without ejaculation or penetration. According to the American Pregnancy Association, the risk of pregnancy from precum is estimated to be around 1-4%.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this dull pain under my left armpit that seems to connect to my breast, along with some pain in the upper back on the same side. This all starts happening about 10 days before my period. I actually made a note of it because it's been pretty consistent. Around a year and a half ago, I also experienced stabbing pain in my left breast along with back pain. I had mammograms done at two different hospitals back then and they said everything looked fine. They suggested I take Vitamin E tablets, which I did for a while, but even after stopping them a year ago, I'm still having these issues. Could it be related to my cycle, or should I be worried about something else?

Table sigmoflam two times a day or as required after food. if Their is any swelling or node under armpit, so consult a general surgeon.
