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 currently using an Aerocort inhaler for my asthma attacks, but now that I'm three weeks pregnant, I'm worried if it's safe for my baby. Is Aerocort okay to use during pregnancy, or is there a safer alternative I should consider?

Aerocort inhaler, which contains beclometasone and salbutamol, is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy for managing asthma, as it helps control symptoms and reduce risks to both you and the baby. However, its essential to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to review alternative options based on your pregnancy stage. Your doctor may adjust your medication to ensure both your safety and the baby's health.
