I'm really worried because my wife recently went through an IVF procedure at a fertility center in Chennai after we tried the IUI process 9 times due to my low sperm count but had no success. I've heard that IVF can sometimes fail, and I'm concerned about whether going through this process multiple times could affect my wife's health. Can you help me understand why IVF might not work and if repeated attempts could cause health issues for her?

I'm feeling this painful lump on my chest that really hurts when I press on it. I noticed that the muscle there feels uneven and doesn't seem normal compared to the other side. My right chest even looks bigger and kind of more girlish, with a darker brownish-pink color compared to the left side, which seems normal. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing these changes?

That could be Gybaecomastia,no need to worry visit General surgeon for further evaluation
