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 dealing with this white discharge that smells really bad, and it's kind of watery. I'm not married, and I travel four hours every day for work. It's been worrying me, and I'm not sure if it could be related to my daily routine or something else. Could this be something serious or just a common issue? What should I do?

I'm a 37-year-old woman who's had four abortions could this affect my sexual health or libido in the long run? I also had family planning surgery after the last abortion could frequent abortions have damaged my genital organs?

In most cases, a history of four abortions, even with a subsequent family planning surgery, is unlikely to significantly impact sexual health or libido in the long run. However, individual experiences can vary.
