View allI'm pregnant and I've noticed that one of my nipples is retracting or going inward. What could this mean, and should I be worried? If I decide to see a doctor, do you have any idea how much a hospital visit might cost for something like this?
You can take a urine pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. It sounds like you may be experiencing inverted nipples, which can sometimes occur during pregnancy. To help with this issue, you can try using a nipple extractor or breast shells to draw out the nipple. Additionally, gently massaging the nipple and expressing milk can also help. As for the cost at the hospital, it can vary depending on your location and the specific services you receive. It would be best to contact the hospital or your healthcare provider for more information on the potential costs. During pregnancy, it's important to take care of your breasts and nipples to prepare for breastfeeding. If you have any concerns or if the issue persists, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

My aunt is 49 and has a bulky uterus measuring 17138 cm with multiple fibroids, the largest being 70mm. She's on medications but doesn't have excessive bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. How serious is this does she need surgery or can she keep managing with meds until menopause?
A 70mm fibroid in a bulky uterus (17138 cm, which seems to be a typo and is likely a measurement in a different unit, perhaps 171.38 cm) in a 49-year-old woman can be managed with medication if there are no symptoms or significant complications, especially as she approaches menopause. Surgery may be considered if symptoms worsen, if the fibroid grows rapidly, or if it causes complications like infertility or pelvic organ compression
