My wife hasn't been pregnant for 2 years after having two abortions, but lately, there's a watery liquid coming from her nipples. We saw a gynecologist who did a prolactin test, and the result was 42.88 ng/ml. The doctor said not to worry and gave some medication. Will this condition go away with just the medicine, or is surgery needed?

The watery discharge from your wife's nipples, also known as galactorrhea, can often be managed with medication, especially if the prolactin level is elevated. If the prolactin level is not too high, medication might not be necessary, but the doctor may prescribe it to regulate the hormone levels. Surgery is typically not required for galactorrhea unless the cause is a pituitary tumor, which is rare

Can STDs be cured?

Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs cannot be cured, but you can manage symptoms with medications. There is a vaccine against hepatitis B, but it will not help if you already have the disease.

I'm experiencing some worrying symptoms with my menstrual cycle. During the time I usually have my period, I'm not getting my normal blood flow. Instead, there's this white waxy discharge, and it's also really itchy around that area. Along with that, I have some abdominal pain and redness. My menstrual cycle seems abnormal, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could these symptoms be connected, and what might this white waxy discharge indicate?
