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.

I'm 28 years old and I've been having a period cycle of 26 to 27 days. I've recently gotten married and noticed I've gained 8 kgs in just 3 months. Is my period cycle normal, and should I be concerned about the sudden weight gain?

A lump near the belly button can be concerning. Possible causes: - Umbilical hernia: A small protrusion of intestine or tissue through a weakened area near the belly button. - Abscess or cyst: Infected or fluid-filled lump. - Lipoma: Benign fatty tumor. Consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may perform: - Physical examination - Imaging tests (ultrasound or CT scan) - Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
