I'm having this persistent pain in my right side nipple that's been going on for over a month now, and it's really affecting my daily life. I got a USG done, and everything seemed clear, but I'm constantly feeling tired and there's always this mild pain. I'm currently on treatment which includes Asmitha and 21 Aciloc RD Primerose, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there any specific screening for nipple health, not just breast checks? Sometimes it feels like there's something inside the nipple if there's no pain. I've already seen more than five gynecologists and I'm really stressed out about this. I'm unmarried, and I had one ovary removed three years ago. Could you suggest the next steps for screening or treatment that might help?

Considering your persistent right-sided nipple pain, fatigue, and mild pain despite normal ultrasound results and ongoing treatment, consult a breast specialist or a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation; additional screening tests, such as a ductogram, nipple discharge cytology, or a high-frequency ultrasound, may help identify the underlying cause; also, discuss the possibility of nipple thrush, eczema, or other dermatological conditions with your doctor, and explore alternative treatments, such as topical creams or antibiotics, to alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

I've been diagnosed with a 4.5cm chocolate cyst and my doctor suggested laparoscopic surgery. Is this procedure safe and will it affect my chances of getting pregnant afterward? Also how long does recovery usually take after this type of surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery for a chocolate cyst is generally safe and can even improve fertility chances after surgery. While there are some risks associated with any surgery, the laparoscopic approach is minimally invasive, reducing the risk of complications. Recovery usually takes a week or two, with most activities resumed within that timeframe

I'm worried because I've missed my period after taking the i-pill three months ago. I did get my period twice after taking it, but now Ive skipped it in December. Could you please suggest any medications or withdrawal treatments that might help regulate my cycle, like it used to be before I took the i-pill?

You can consider taking Regestrone or Deviry to induce your periods and regulate your menstrual cycle.
