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.

I'm a bit confused about how periods and ovulation are connected. Is it possible to have a period without ovulating? And if I do ovulate, does that mean I'll definitely get my period about 15 days after? I'm just trying to understand how it all works.

Yes, it is possible to have a menstrual period without ovulation. This is known as an anovulatory cycle. Yes, typically after ovulation, a menstrual period occurs around 14 days later. This is known as the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. If fertilization does not occur, the uterine lining sheds, resulting in menstruation. If you are looking for a medication to regulate your menstrual cycle, you can consider using oral contraceptive pills such as Yaz or Yasmin.

I'm a bit worried and looking for some advice. My last period was on March 20, and on April 24, I noticed some pink discharge or spotting just once when I wiped. I've taken a few pregnancy tests, but they're really faint. Even though I've had my tubes tied for 2 years, I've heard that you can still get pregnant with that. Could you help me understand what's going on?

While your chance of pregnancy is significantly lower with tubal ligation, it is still possible, though rare. The faint line on your test may suggest pregnancy, but its best to confirm with a follow-up test or a visit to your doctor. If you do find out youre pregnant, your doctor can guide you through the next steps to ensure everything is progressing normally.
