I've got a bit of a problem and could use some advice. My boyfriend was really rough with pinching and pulling my right nipple, and now they're super sore. It hurts a lot when I touch them or even when my bra rubs against them. They're also kind of dark reddish-brown and bruised, plus there's this crusty brown stuff on them that seems like it could peel off. It's been 24 hours, and they still hurt a lot. I can't go to the doctor, so I'm really worried. What should I do?

It sounds like your nipples are bruised and irritated from the rough handling. To ease the pain, avoid touching or rubbing the area and wear a soft, breathable bra. Applying a soothing cream like aloe vera or a gentle moisturizer may help, but if the pain persists or worsens, consider seeing a healthcare professional when possible.

I'm a bit worried because I haven't had my periods for the last two months, and my doctor told me to take Duphaston 10mg for ten days. It's only been two days since I stopped taking the pills. I'm curious to know when I should expect my period to start. Is this normal?

-it's common to get your period within 3-7 days after stopping Duphaston, though it can vary a little. If you dont get your period within a week, follow up with your doctor to check for any underlying issues. Take care and dont stressits often

I'm really worried because I just realized that I've been drinking water from a dark bottle for the past couple of days, and it turns out there are these tiny red worms in it. I'm six months pregnant, and now I'm freaking out a bit. Are these worms harmful or dangerous for me and my baby?

No need to worry, all the red worms will be killed & digested with the acid present in your stomach. It is a protein rich diet

My wife keeps getting endometrial polyps that return every decade and it's affecting her ability to conceive. Are there any herbal remedies that could help with this or would she need surgery to address the issue?

Endometrial polyps that recur can significantly impact fertility. While some herbal remedies may help manage symptoms or support overall uterine health, surgical removal (hysteroscopy or dilation and curettage) is often necessary, especially if polyps are recurring or if they're affecting conception
