Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus made up of muscle and fibrous tissue, but they are not the same as fibrosis, which refers to the thickening and scarring of connective tissue usually as a response to injury or inflammation.
- Uterine fibroids are benign tumors composed mainly of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue.
- Fibrosis is a process where excess fibrous connective tissue builds up, often leading to scarring and organ dysfunction.
So, while fibroids contain fibrous tissue, they are distinct from fibrosis as a pathological process. If you have concerns about uterine fibroids or symptoms, consulting a gynecologist can provide personalized advice and management options.

View allI've recently noticed a small lump under my areola on my right breast, right next to the nipple. It's kind of like a hard ball and doesn't hurt when I touch it, but I can move it around a bit. I'm feeling under the weather with a cold right now. Could it be related, or should I be worried about something more serious?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried and need some advice. Can pregnancy actually happen if it's just fingering on the 8th day of my cycle and there was some precum involved? I'm certain there wasn't any ejaculation or actual penetration, but I can't stop thinking about it. Is there a real risk of getting pregnant this way?

I'm a virgin, but I have a boyfriend, and we've been doing some other stuff together. I've noticed that when I get really excited by his touch or kiss, a whitish milky fluid that can sometimes be transparent comes out of my vagina. It also happens when I masturbate. After this, I feel kind of weak and get pain in my legs. Occasionally it also gets a bit itchy. Is it normal to have this kind of discharge along with the weakness?
The milky fluid you are describing could be normal vaginal discharge, which can vary in consistency and color throughout your menstrual cycle. However, if you are experiencing weakness, pain in your legs, and itching, it may be a sign of an underlying infection. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible treatment.
