I've got this lump behind my right nipple that showed up about a month ago. Some days it feels tender, and other times it just sits there. I'm wondering if it could be a swollen lymph node or maybe a symptom of an STD? I've been into weightlifting for the past three months and haven't used any supplementscould that be a factor? Also, my nipple sometimes feels irritated, especially when my shirt touches it. What do you think might be going on?

A lump behind your nipple could be a swollen lymph node, a benign cyst, or a glandular issue; lifting weights may cause breast tissue irritation or inflammation, especially if you're wearing tight or abrasive clothing; STDs are less likely, but possible; nipple irritation and tenderness can be caused by various factors, including friction, skin conditions, or hormonal changes; consult a doctor, preferably a primary care physician or a dermatologist, for a thorough examination and proper diagnosis to determine the cause and appropriate treatme

I'm in my mid-20s and really want to grow taller. Right now, I'm 5'5" and my goal is to reach 5'9" in just two months. A few years back, I tried those power or speed height capsules but only saw a little improvement. I'm eager to increase my height quickly. What can I do to achieve this?
Intermittent pain can be concerning. _Possible causes:_ 1. _Muscle strain_: Overstretching or straining a muscle can cause pain, especially when bending, stretching, or taking deep breaths. 2. _Rib or cartilage issue_: Pain when taking deep breaths could indicate a rib or cartilage problem, such as costochondritis. 3. _Intercostal muscle strain_: Strain in the muscles between the ribs can cause pain when bending, stretching, or breathing deeply. _What to do:_ 1. _Apply heat or cold packs_: Try applying heat or cold packs to the affected area to relieve pain and discomfort. 2. _Stretch gently_: Gentle stretching can help relieve muscle tension. Avoid overstretching, which can exacerbate the issue. 3. _Rest and relaxation_: Get plenty of rest and try to manage stress to help your body recover. 4. _Consult a doctor_: If the pain persists or worsens, consult a primary care physician or an orthopedic specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance. _When to seek immediate attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If the pain is severe, sudden, or worsens over time. 2. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or chest pain. 3. _Fever or swelling_: If you notice fever, swelling, or redness around the affected area.
