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'm feeling really anxious about my uterine fibroids. I have two of them, measuring 2.8 cm and 2.7 cm, and I'm trying to avoid surgery at all costs. Is it possible to treat these with medication only?
Elevated bilirubin levels and abdominal pain require attention. _Elevated Bilirubin Levels_ 1. _Mild elevation_: Your total bilirubin level is mildly elevated (1.71 mgdL). Direct bilirubin is within normal limits (0.32 mgdL), but indirect bilirubin is slightly elevated (1.39 mgdL). 2. _Possible causes_: Gilbert's syndrome, liver dysfunction, or hemolytic anemia might be contributing to the elevated bilirubin levels. _Abdominal Pain_ 1. _Location and timing_: Pain in the lower abdomen on the right side, especially after heavy meals, could indicate gallbladder or liver issues. 2. _Possible causes_: Gallstones, cholecystitis, or liver dysfunction might be causing the pain. _Next Steps_ 1. _Repeat liver function tests_: Schedule a follow-up test to monitor bilirubin levels and other liver enzymes. 2. _Ultrasound or imaging tests_: Consider undergoing an abdominal ultrasound or other imaging tests (e.g., CT or MRI) to evaluate the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. 3. _Gastroenterologist consultation_: Consult a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms, test results, and determine the best course of action. 4. _Dietary changes_: Avoid heavy meals, fatty foods, and alcohol to reduce liver and gallbladder strain. _Medications_ 1. _No immediate medication_: Wait for further test results and consultation with a gastroenterologist before starting any medications. _Worry Level_ 1. _Moderate concern_: While elevated bilirubin levels and abdominal pain require attention, they can often be managed with proper diagnosis and treatment. Please consult a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance and to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.

I'm an expecting mom and I'm really hoping to have a healthy baby. I've been trying my best to eat nutritious foods and drink plenty of healthy juices. I'm curious if there's any truth to the idea that you can follow a special diet during pregnancy to help ensure a fair-skinned baby. Can you help clarify if there's anything specific I should be doing or eating?
There is no such specific diet,as you are on healthy diet your baby will be healthy don't worry
