Question 1

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this dull pain under my left armpit that seems to connect to my breast, along with some pain in the upper back on the same side. This all starts happening about 10 days before my period. I actually made a note of it because it's been pretty consistent. Around a year and a half ago, I also experienced stabbing pain in my left breast along with back pain. I had mammograms done at two different hospitals back then and they said everything looked fine. They suggested I take Vitamin E tablets, which I did for a while, but even after stopping them a year ago, I'm still having these issues. Could it be related to my cycle, or should I be worried about something else?

Accepted Answer

Table  sigmoflam two times a day or as required after  food.
if Their is any  swelling or node under armpit,  so consult a general  surgeon.

Question 2

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and recently had my level 2 scan which showed an echogenic focus in the left ventricle. They found another echogenic focus measuring 3.5mm during a fetal echo. I've been trying to conceive for 5 years and finally succeeded with IVF, so I'm really stressed about this. Is this something serious? Can you help me understand what this means?

Accepted Answer

An echogenic focus in the fetal heart is a common finding during pregnancy ultrasounds. In most cases, it is considered a normal variant and not a cause for concern, especially if all other parameters are normal. However, given your history of IVF conception and the size of the echogenic focus at 3.5mm, it is important to monitor it closely. I recommend discussing this finding with your obstetrician. They may suggest further follow-up ultrasounds to track the size and appearance of the echogenic focus. In most cases, no treatment is needed, and it often resolves on its own. Just continue with your regular prenatal care and follow your doctor's recommendations for a healthy pregnancy.

Question 3

I had two periods in one month. My first period started on May 5th and then another one on May 20th. I'm trying to figure out when my fertile window might be. Could you help me understand this better?
