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've been trying to figure out what's going on. I had a miscarriage back in December 2014, and my doctor mentioned it was due to a viral infection with terms like cytomegalovirus and Rubella igG coming up, and something about HSV 12 igG too. After a TORCH profile test, my gyno told me to wait six months before trying again, but it's been eight months now, and I still can't get pregnant despite following all the doctor's instructions. I'm feeling pretty worried and wondering what steps I should take next. Any advice on what I might be missing?
Consider a follow-up appointment with your gynecologist to reassess your fertility and discuss further testing, such as ovulation tracking, semen analysis, and hormonal evaluations, to identify potential underlying causes for delayed conception; also, ask about additional blood tests to check for immunity to cytomegalovirus and other infections, and explore options like fertility supplements, lifestyle modifications, or fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.

I'm 30 and have had PCOS for two years my HSG test showed blocked fallopian tubes. Besides pregnancy concerns, is surgery absolutely necessary to unblock them? Just wondering if it's something I really need to do or if there are other options
While surgery can be an option for unblocking fallopian tubes, it's not always necessary and there are other treatment approaches, especially if you're not focused on pregnancy. Your doctor will need to assess the specific cause and location of the blockage to determine the best course of action
