View allI'm a bit worried because my period was supposed to start on December 29th, 2017, and I found out I was pregnant on December 31st. Since January 6th, I've been spotting with a brown color. My doctor gave me Trenaxa 500mg to take three times a day for five days, but it hasn't seemed to help. Do you have any ideas on what I should do next?

I'm 23 and just starting to get into intercourse. The first time really hurt, and I actually had to ask my boyfriend to stop because the pain was unbearable, although I didn't bleed. When we tried again, entering was easier, but it still stung quite a bit. I've heard it takes time for it to stop hurting and start feeling good, but I'm wondering if I should get checked now that I'm becoming sexually active. How long is it normal to experience this pain before it turns pleasurable? We've been using condoms as I'm aware of the side effects of the pill, and thankfully, my periods haven't been affected yet. Is there anything we can do to lessen the pain, or any tips for this situation?
Considering your painful experiences during intercourse, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions like vaginismus, vaginal dryness, or anatomical issues; in the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, lubricants, and gradual, gentle penetration to reduce discomfort, and continue using condoms for contraception,

I've got this lump on my right breast and was told to take simrose tablets as it's supposed to be normal. But now there's another lump, and it hurts when I sleep because I lie on my breast. Should I be thinking about removing the fibroid? Who should I talk to about this, especially since I'm new in the city?
Given the recurrence of breast lumps and associated pain, especially with pressure, consult ageneral surgeon in your new city for a thorough evaluation, including a clinical breast examination, ultrasound, or mammography, to determine the nature of the lumps and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include fibroadenoma removal or other interventions
