I'm having this persistent pain in my right side nipple that's been going on for over a month now, and it's really affecting my daily life. I got a USG done, and everything seemed clear, but I'm constantly feeling tired and there's always this mild pain. I'm currently on treatment which includes Asmitha and 21 Aciloc RD Primerose, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there any specific screening for nipple health, not just breast checks? Sometimes it feels like there's something inside the nipple if there's no pain. I've already seen more than five gynecologists and I'm really stressed out about this. I'm unmarried, and I had one ovary removed three years ago. Could you suggest the next steps for screening or treatment that might help?

Considering your persistent right-sided nipple pain, fatigue, and mild pain despite normal ultrasound results and ongoing treatment, consult a breast specialist or a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation; additional screening tests, such as a ductogram, nipple discharge cytology, or a high-frequency ultrasound, may help identify the underlying cause; also, discuss the possibility of nipple thrush, eczema, or other dermatological conditions with your doctor, and explore alternative treatments, such as topical creams or antibiotics, to alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

View allI'm really worried about my 23-year-old wife. She's in her 31st week of pregnancy, and her hemoglobin level is at 9.3. Earlier, her doctor had her on Lupiheme twice daily, but now she's switched to RicherCR and recommended two Revofer injections with NS as IV. I'm concerned if the Revofer injections are safe during pregnancy. We noticed her hemoglobin didn't really go up with just the tablets. Should we go ahead with the injections, or is there hope her levels might increase with the tablets? Can you help us out with some guidance?
Given your wife's low hemoglobin level (9.3) at 31 weeks pregnant, the doctor's recommendation to administer two Revofer (iron sucrose) injections with Normal Saline (NS) as IV is a common practice to rapidly increase iron levels; Revofer is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to monitor for potential side effects, such as allergic reactions or hypotension; since oral iron supplements (Lupiheme and RicherCR) haven't significantly increased her hemoglobin levels, IV iron may be necessary to prevent maternal and fetal complications associated with iron deficiency anemia.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I'm 16, and a couple of days ago, I lost my virginity with my boyfriend. We used a condom, and it didn't break or slip, and he didn't cum in it, so I thought pregnancy wasn't a possibility. Still, I'm feeling stressed and anxious because since the day after, I've been having stomach pains. I haven't told my parents because of my age, and they don't know about the pains I'm having. Is it normal to experience stomach aches after having sex for the first time? I've been taking paracetamol because they seem to help with the pain. My period usually starts at the beginning of every month, and I only sometimes get cramps a week beforehand. Could these pains be related?
It is not uncommon to experience stomach pains after your first sexual experience, as it can be a new and sometimes uncomfortable sensation for your body. However, if the pain persists or becomes severe, it is important to seek medical advice. In the meantime, continue taking paracetamol for pain relief. Considering your concerns about pregnancy, since you used a condom correctly and it did not break, the chances of pregnancy are low. To further ease your worries, you can consider taking a pregnancy test for confirmation. For the stomach pains, you can also try taking antispasmodic medication like Buscopan to help with any cramping. If the pain continues or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
