I'm a bit confused about some medication my doctor mentioned. They advised me to take Duphaston, and I'm also hearing about Jigest. Are they basically the same thing? Could you explain the difference, if there is any?

I'm a bit worried and confused about something that happened recently. If a guy rubs his genitals and ejaculates in his underwear, and then there's rubbing against a woman's genitals with a very slightly wet surface, could that possibly lead to pregnancy, especially since it happened a week after her period ended?

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‚Äôs usually harmless, but an ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.
