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.

A woman may not know her hymen has broken, because it doesn't always cause pain or noticeable bleeding. Having a broken hymen doesn't necessarily mean a woman has lost her virginity.

I've been really stressed since I had sex on July 10 and July 26 with different partners, both times using protection. The first guy finished inside the condom, and the second didnt finish at all. Im now 40 days late on my period and starting to worry. I took three pregnancy tests on August 11, 29, and 31, and all came back negative. This week, Ive been dealing with a nasty fever, cough, and severe headache for three days. The fever was pretty bad for the first two days but got better on the third. I also felt pretty nauseous then, almost threw up a couple of times, but didnt actually puke. Plus, I had this mild pain in my left breast earlier in the morning, but it later disappeared. Im wondering if theres a chance I could be pregnant or if its just stress from my hectic lifestyle. Would love some advice here.
Based on the details you shared, including the use of protection, the negative pregnancy tests, and the timing, its highly unlikely that you are pregnant. The delay in your period may be due to stress, illness, or hormonal fluctuations. If your period doesnt arrive soon, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation. Take care!

The cost for surgery to remove an endometrial polyp and a right ovarian septate cyst in Kolkata can vary, but you can expect to pay between ‚Çπ50,000 and ‚Çπ70,000. It's possible to perform both procedures in one surgery, but the exact approach and cost will depend on the size and location of the polyp and cyst, as well as other individual factors, such as the size and location of the polyp and cyst.
