I've been diagnosed with small fibroids in both breasts and my doctor said surgery isn't needed but now my right armpit has a soft swollen bump that feels like fat or maybe extra breast tissue there's no pain or lumps is this something to worry about

A soft bump under the armpit may be ectopic breast tissue or a lipoma. It’s usually harmless, but an ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.

View allI'm currently pregnant and was wondering about taking Ondansetron for nausea and vomiting. Is it safe for me and the baby, and are there any potential side effects I should be aware of? Also, would it really help with the vomiting? I'm feeling a bit worried and just looking for some guidance.
Ondansetron (Ondam) is an antiemetic medication that can be used during pregnancy to alleviate nausea and vomiting, typically taken orally, 4-8 mg, 2-3 times a day

I'm 34 now and will be 35 when I give birth. I just had my 20-week anomaly scan and two soft markers showed up: Echogenic Intracardiac Focus and Bilateral Renal Pelvis measuring 4.1mm and 3.5mm. I went for a fetal echo and thankfully they didnt find any other issues. I also did the NIPT and it came back low risk. Im kinda worried and want to understand more about the Bilateral Renal Pelvis. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?
Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF): Likely a benign finding, not a concern especially with the normal fetal echo and low-risk NIPT. Bilateral Renal Pelvis Dilatation: Mild dilation (4.1mm and 3.5mm) is usually not a major concern and often resolves after birth. Continue with your routine prenatal care and follow-up ultrasounds if recommended by your doctor. Given the low-risk NIPT result and the absence of other abnormalities, the pregnancy seems to be progressing normally. If youre feeling uncertain, dont hesitate to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider

My friend is wondering if it's okay to use lubricants while not using a condom. Are there certain types of lubricants that are safe to use without a condom?
Yes, lubricants can be used without a condom. However, it's important to choose water-based or silicone-based lubricants, as they are safe for direct skin contact and won't cause irritation. Always ensure the lubricant is compatible with your needs, especially for sensitive areas.
