I'm really worried because my wife has been diagnosed with fibroadenoma in her right breast, and it's positioned just above her ovary. Our doctor thinks surgery is the best option, but I'm not entirely sure and feel like I need a second opinion on whether this is necessary. What do you think? Could there be any other treatment options we should consider?

I'm wondering about the safety of using an expired lubricating gel like Lubic Jelly with my wife. It expired back in December 2018, and we don't have sex very often. Is it still okay to use it, or should we be concerned about any potential risks?

Using expired lubricating gel is not recommended, as it may lose its effectiveness and could potentially cause irritation or infections. For both your safety, it's best to discard the expired product and replace it with a new one.

I've been taking Nostra to delay my period, but now that I've stopped, my period still isn't coming properly. Can you suggest any tablets I could take to help with this issue? I'm really worried about what to do.

Its common for periods to be delayed after stopping Nostra, as your body adjusts. I recommend consulting with your gynecologist to explore options like progesterone therapy (such as Regestrone) or other treatments to help regulate your cycle.

I'm currently using a Symbicort 320 inhaler and I'm a bit worried about how to manage it after my c-section delivery. I'm concerned I might not be able to inhale it properly when the time comes, considering the incision and all. Could you advise me on any alternative medications I should consider for that period? I'm at 30 weeks and 0 days into my pregnancy today.
