I'm looking to prepone my periods and was wondering if it's okay to take Primolut N after 16 days from my last period? I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe to do this. Could you please advise?

I've had these lumps in my breasts for about 3 years now. I don't usually feel pain, but maybe once or twice a month it does hurt a bit. I'm really worried if this could be breast cancer. I'm thinking of getting it checked out. Should I see a gynecologist first, or should I go straight for a cancer screening? What do you recommend?

I just had my TIFFA scan at 21 weeks, and it showed that my cervix length is 2.9 cm. Is this normal? My doctor mentioned it's on the shorter side. Should I be concerned? Can I still do exercises, or is there something else I should be doing?

A cervix length of 2.9 cm at 21 weeks is considered short, increasing the risk of preterm labor; your doctor may recommend cervical cerclage, progesterone supplements, or pelvic rest; exercises like Kegel's and pelvic tilts may be beneficial, but consult your doctor before starting any new exercises or treatments.
