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'm feeling pretty anxious right now and I need some advice. So, during sexual activity, the penis didn't actually go into the vagina but was rubbing around the opening a few times, and there was no protection used. I'm just really worried about the possibility of pregnancy from this. Can you help clarify whether this could actually happen?

I'm kinda worried because I've noticed some white discharge coming from my vagina and a line of black hair growing from my abdomen downwards. Im wondering, can just kissing on the lips lead to pregnancy?
