I'm curious about something that's been bothering me a bit lately. Before my period starts, I've noticed that my breasts often feel painful and seem to swell up quite a bit. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about or if it's a common experience. Could there be an underlying issue causing this?

I had a sterilization procedure done 8 years ago after having two daughters. Now I'm hoping to have a boy is there any treatment or surgery that could help me conceive again? What options do I have?

Sterilization reversal is complex and rarely successful; IVF with gender selection is illegal in India but consult fertility specialist for safe advice.

I've been dealing with a bartholin cyst that's gotten way bigger in the last 3 days and it's making sitting and moving really uncomfortable. This is the third time in 2 years but it usually goes away on its own this time it's much worse. I read about surgical draining but want to avoid that if possible. What can I do to ease this and why do these keep happening?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
