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.

View allI've been dealing with a urine infection ever since I got pregnant and I'm 25 years old, currently 23 weeks along. My recent routine report showed RBC at 24, epithelial cells at 25-30, and pus cells at 10-15. Everything else seems to be in the normal range. I'm really concerned about these numbers and not sure what they mean for my pregnancy. Could this be harmful to my baby, and what should I do about it?

I'm really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?
