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.

I've been trying to get pregnant for the past year. We've already done a semen analysis and HSG, and now we're doing a follicular study. We're in the second cycle now. My doctor has me on Mvista Maturova tablets from day 2 to day 7. Just two days ago, on day 13, my follicle was 24mm, and after an HCG injection and starting Susten tablets (2 daily for 15 days), my ultrasound showed a 32 mm cyst. It's causing me some ovary pain, and I'm pretty worried. Can you explain what this cyst might mean? What steps should we take next?

I'm feeling really concerned about something. I got an HSV IgG test result of 0.85 and I've been noticing some redness in the genital area, along with itching and these weird tingling pains in my thighs. Does this mean I have herpes or could it be something else? What's confusing me more is that when I did a test last month, it came back negative. Can you tell me if these results might be accurate and suggest any treatment options?
