I've had cysts in both breasts for the last two months and they sometimes cause pain. Can you tell me if this can be treated with medication or if surgery is needed? Also, is it safe to try for pregnancy right now with this condition? I've attached my ultrasound and FNAC reports for reference

excision of the cyst is advised.

I have a 37x15x14 mm oval-shaped T1T2 hypointense submucosal fibroid with polypoidal extension into the endocervical canal. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that could work instead since I want to have another baby and already have a 2-year-old. Should I go ahead with the surgery or try other options first?

surgery is option only.

I'm noticing some brown discharge before my period and my period itself only lasts for a day, with more brown discharge after. I'm married, but haven't been able to have a baby yet. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and could they be affecting my chances of conceiving?

it might be due to less hemoglobin, eat good amount of fruits like apple
