Question 1

My wife has been experiencing this irregular pain in her breast, usually with mild intensity. Its mainly on the outer part and even extends to under her arm. She mostly feels it when she touches the area. Were trying to understand what could be causing this and what remedies might help. Any insights would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 2

Found a pea-sized lump in my right breast and the mammogram says fibroadenoma BIRADS 2. Do I really need surgery or are there medicines that can help? I'm really concerned about whether this could turn into cancer later

Accepted Answer

BIRADS 2 means benign fibroadenoma; usually doesn‚Äôt need surgery unless painful or enlarging.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about the beta hCG levels during pregnancy. What should the levels be in a normal pregnancy compared to an ectopic pregnancy? Also, can beta hCG be detected in urine if someone has an ectopic pregnancy around 8 weeks?

Accepted Answer

In a normal pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically double every 48 hours, with average levels ranging from 50-300 mIUmL at 4-5 weeks, 1000-5000 mIUmL at 6-7 weeks, and 10,000-100,000 mIUmL at 8-12 weeks. In contrast, ectopic pregnancies often have lower and more slowly rising beta hCG levels, typically below 3000 mIUmL. As for detecting beta hCG in urine at 8 weeks of ectopic pregnancy, it's unlikely, as urine tests are generally less sensitive than blood tests, and ectopic pregnancies often have lower beta hCG levels.

I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex and it's been almost 72 hours. We used the pull out method and Im not sure if precum can cause pregnancy. Is it too late to do anything about it? I'm feeling really scared right now. Can you please give some advice?

yes it may cause, advised emergencycontraception.
