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 having these painful and burning bumps down there that I think are vaginal boils. It's really uncomfortable. I'm also dealing with some white discharge. Could you guide me on what I should do or take to help with these issues?

Medications and Constipation_ 1. _Codeine_: A common side effect of codeine is constipation, which can be exacerbated by other medications like antibiotics. 2. _Paracetamol_: While paracetamol is less likely to cause constipation, it can contribute to the problem when combined with other medications. _Laxative Use Precautions_ 1. _Consult your healthcare provider_: Before taking any laxative, including Senokot, consult your healthcare provider to discuss the best approach for managing constipation. 2. _Choose a gentle laxative_: If recommended by your healthcare provider, a gentle laxative like Senokot (containing senna) may be suitable. However, avoid stimulant laxatives or those containing bisacodyl. 3. _Monitor for interactions_: Be aware of potential interactions between laxatives and your prescribed medications, such as antibiotics and codeine. 4. _Adequate hydration_: Drink plenty of water to help prevent constipation and facilitate laxative effectiveness. 5. _Dietary adjustments_: Increase fiber intake through foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help regulate bowel movements. _Alternative Constipation Management Options_ 1. _Prune juice or fiber supplements_: Your healthcare provider may recommend alternative constipation management options, such as prune juice or fiber supplements. 2. _Gastrointestinal motility agents_: In some cases, medications like metoclopramide may be prescribed to help stimulate bowel movements.

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?
