You may be suffering from male pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia). It is treatable through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. You may also have underlying undetected factors which may be promoting hair loss, such as dandruff, psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist to determine the severity and extent of your condition, and start off with a treatment regimen that is suitable for you.

Recurring swollen lymph nodes can be frustrating.

_Possible causes:_

1. _Recurring infections_: Frequent colds or sinus infections might cause the lymph node to swell.
2. _Dental issues_: Tooth abscesses, gum disease, or other dental problems can cause lymph node swelling.
3. _Allergies or sensitivities_: Seasonal allergies or sensitivities to certain foods or substances might contribute to the swelling.

_Consider the following:_

1. _Dental checkup_: Schedule a dental appointment to rule out any underlying dental issues.
2. _Allergy testing_: If you suspect allergies, consider consulting an allergist for testing.
3. _Imaging tests_: Your doctor might recommend imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound or CT scan) to evaluate the lymph node.
4. _Monitor and track_: Keep a record of when the swelling occurs, any potential triggers, and how long it lasts.

However, if you are concerned about the changes in your menstrual bleeding pattern, it is advisable to consult with your gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
