The most common cause is a problem in the placenta (the tissue that carries food and blood to the baby). Birth defects and genetic disorders can cause IUGR. If the mother has an infection, high blood pressure, is smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or abusing drugs, her baby might have IUGR.

I've just gotten my STD test results back, and I'm a little worried. My HSV 1 IgG test is positive, but the IgM is negative. I've never had symptoms before, and last month was the first time I had oral sex, so I thought itd be a good idea to get checked. The healthcare provider mentioned everything is okay, but I'm still stressing out. Should I really be worried about this? Could this be something serious?

I'm having this ongoing pain around my breast and underarm, mostly on the right side, and it's been happening for about 4 months now. It initially started with pain on the right side of my chest, and sometimes I even get nipple pain. There aren't any lumps or swelling, no redness, fever, or changes in shape. I had an X-ray and that came back normal. I also have sinus problems and my Vitamin D3 level is at 21. I'm not experiencing any breathing issues. Could you please help me figure out what's going on?
