I'm on eltroxin for my thyroid and I've just finished 15 months of treatment for MDR. What medications do I need to keep taking or start now? I'm a bit unsure about the next steps.

I'm really worried about my situation. It seems like my left fallopian tube is blocked while the right one is open. I went through 18 months of AKT for the blockage issue, and then we tried IUI at Fortis Hospital in Mohali for three cycles. During the second cycle, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy that lasted two months, but after that, the IUI just hasn't worked for us. Could you guide me on what should be the next step in treatment, besides IVF?
Considering your history of unilateral fallopian tube blockage, 18 months of Akt treatment, and three unsuccessful IUI cycles after an ectopic pregnancy, the next steps to consider before IVF could be: Laparoscopic tubal cannulation or tuboplasty to clear the blockage in the left fallopian tube; Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation to assess and potentially clear the blockage; or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with ovarian stimulation using Gonadotropins or Letrozole to enhance egg production; consult a fertility specialist to discuss these options

I'm a 22-year-old male, and I've recently noticed that my nipples are puffy. When I press them, I can feel a lot of lumps underneathsome are small, some are big, flat, or even pointed, and they're quite painful. Should I be worried about this? Is there something specific I should do or look out for?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called gynecomastia, which is the swelling of breast tissue in boys or men caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. In your case, the presence of painful lumps in both nipples could indicate a more severe form of gynecomastia. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel on the affected area. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management of your condition.
