My nineteen-year-old daughter just got results from her first pap test, showing pre-cancerous cells. Her doctor wants her to get a biopsy after her period. What does this mean, and what should we expect in terms of treatment and future risk?

I am 69 years old and finished menopause about 18 years ago. In the last couple of years, I have been experiencing hot flashes, sometimes 3 times a day and sometimes once every 3 weeks. I have had no gynecological surgeries and took replacement hormones for about 8 years. Could I possibly have a gynecological tumor that is producing weird hormones or could it be an adrenal malfunction?

I am 35 weeks pregnant and had a manicure today. I ate food with my hands after the manicure, even though my nails still had a chemical smell. How worried should I be about potential harm to the baby from the chemicals in the nail polish?
