I'm a 41-year-old woman and have been healthy overall. Until recently, my menstrual cycle was quite regular at 25 days, but since April, it has shifted to once every 50 days, so now I'm getting my period every two months. Along with this change, I've also started feeling breast pain, much like the sensation during pregnancy. I'm wondering if these are signs of menopause starting. Should I be considering any medication for this? For context, my mom began menopause in her 40s too.

Its possible that youre experiencing early perimenopause, especially given the changes in your menstrual cycle and breast tenderness, which are common symptoms. Since your mother also went through menopause in her 40s, this could be hereditary. Its a good idea to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to discuss whether any treatment or lifestyle changes would be helpful for managing symptoms.

View allI'm a 20-year-old girl and I've been having some irritation in my private area. This year on February 29th, I had my first sexual experience with my partner. At first, he didn't use a condom, but then he did for the rest. It was really painful, and I even bled a bit. After about 5 minutes the pain stopped and I started to enjoy it. I took some emergency contraception because I was worried about pregnancy. But the day after, the pain came back. Then we had sex again with a condom on March 4th, and I ended up taking emergency contraception again. About 15 days after that, I started experiencing the pain more regularly, especially on days I wear tight jeans. Is this normal or should I be worried?
,it may be Vulvodynia, a unexplained pain or discomfort in the vulva(vaginal opening) area that typically strikes women between ages 18 and 25 and lasts more than three months. Symptoms include chronic burning, stinging, knifelike pain, rawness or irritation that comes and goes. The pain can interfere with sex, tampon insertion, and even make wearing undergarments or pants intolerable. So next time avoid tight jeans,, practice foreplay before sex and Vagina need to be ready (wet with vaginal secretion) before insertion of penis. Taking I pill also cause irregular pain and bleeding for many days or even weeks,, please avoid them next time, use condoms or Copper - T for unwanted pregnancy. And bleeding and pain after first time sex is common due to hymen tear.

I recently had an MTP at 6 weeks, and my ultrasound after 10 days showed there's still some products left in the upper abdomen area, measuring about 18x13.5x10.4 mm. I'm worried and wondering if a D&C is absolutely necessary, or if taking another dose of misoprostol might be an option. What would you recommend?
