I'm wondering if it's normal to have shortness of breath and chest tightness just before my period. It's something I've noticed happening and it's making me a bit anxious. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it generally harmless? Also, could you suggest which tests or checks I might need to consider?

I would recommend starting with a physical exam and possibly tests like an ECG, chest X-ray, or blood work to ensure everything is fine.

View allI found lumps in both breasts during a sonography the right one is 5.2 x 2.5 cm and the left is smaller. I'm unmarried but sexually active sometimes, and there's no family history of breast cancer. Should I be worried? Do I need surgery or can medication help shrink them?

I've been experiencing some dryness in my vaginal area and it's starting to itch really badly. On top of that, I've noticed some spots similar to pimples appearing too. I'm really not sure what's going on and could use some advice on what to do next. I live in Mulund but I didn't see Mumbai as an option. Can you help me figure this out?
You can use an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) cream or suppositories. Apply the cream externally around the vagina or insert the suppository into the vagina according to the package instructions. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. It is also important to maintain good hygiene and wear cotton underwear to keep the area dry. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
