Question 1

I've had a lump in my right breast, around 35 cm, slightly toward the lower side, for about 5 years now. Tried homeopathy but didn't see much improvement. Got a mammogram in 2017 which showed it's a fibroadenoma, and the doctor advised removing it soon, but I'm not keen on surgery. Can it be treated with medication instead? If not, what could happen if I leave it since it doesn't bother me much just occasional mild pain during my period. Also, my periods have been irregular for the past 23 months, sometimes late by 2-3 days or up to a week, but recently it was two weeks late. Could this be related to the lump? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

Long-standing fibroadenoma usually needs surgical removal if symptomatic; medications don‚Äôt shrink it, and leaving it may risk growth or discomfort, though not typically linked to periods.

Question 2

I've been having really heavy periods that last 10 to 18 days with clots and bad cramps. My ultrasound showed a bulky uterus measuring 73x47x55 mm with a 12-13 mm endometrial echo. There's also a simple cyst on my right ovary around 30x14 mm. Should I consider surgery for this or are there other options?

Accepted Answer

You need hysteroscopy and D&C. If you completed your family then you can go for mirena insertion.

Question 3

I'm wondering if it's possible to lose virginity without having any blood spots. I didn't notice any blood after losing my virginity, but I got my period a few hours later since it was supposed to come around that time anyway. It's making me a bit confused. Can you help explain if blood spots aren't always present?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's possible to lose virginity without any blood spots. The presence or absence of blood can vary based on individual anatomy, such as the elasticity of the hymen. Menstruation can also coincide with this, which may cause confusion, but it doesn't necessarily mean the hymen wasn't stretched or torn.

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test that showed my glucose level is 160. I'm worried if this is normal for pregnancy or if it could cause any problems. Can you provide some guidance on this?
