I have several questions about breast size and genetics. 1) Are there seven genetic factors associated with breast size, and are all of them entirely genetic? 2) If my father's side of the family has a hereditary smaller chest size, my mother has small breasts, but only my maternal grandmother has a larger chest, what is the probability of me inheriting a small breast size? Can breast size skip a generation? 3) If there are seven genetic factors influencing breast size, do both parents contribute to each of these genes? 4) During overall body weight loss, do women lose breast fat as well? 5) If I gain weight, I always gain belly fat and upper arm fat first, but never see an increase in my breast size. Is this normal, and is it genetic? 6) If I lose weight, will my breasts reduce further? 7) If I don't have a tendency to gain fat in my chest, will I have less tendency to lose it as well? 8) If my mother has the same chest size as mine and my father's side of the family has a hereditary smaller breast size, but my maternal grandmother has a bigger chest size, do I have a chance of getting small breasts only? 9) If I want to find out more about my genetic history, will 23andMe help? 10) Do fenugreek capsules, fennel seeds, or pumpkin seeds help in increasing breast size? Do herbal supplements help in increasing estrogen levels and breast size?

My period stopped in January. I took Zoloft for 2 weeks in May and then stopped. Do you think it affected my period, and is 2 weeks enough time to cause long-term irregularities?

I got tested for herpes and my HSV2 test came back 1.5, and I have no symptoms. Could this be a false positive? I also have HSV1. How long should I wait to get retested, and what does a low-positive result like 1.5 indicate?

I am 24 years old and have been experiencing pain during sex, dryness, and visible cracks in the outer area of my vagina for the past 2-3 weeks. I have only one partner, no recent STD screening, and no irregular results from past exams. I have attached a picture of the cracks. This is the first time I have experienced these symptoms. I also notice a bit of pain after periods during sex, which goes away on its own. I have tried applying paw paw ointment, which helped with the dryness. My vaginal discharge is usually white, with no specific odor. I have been using oral contraceptive pills for about a year now. What could be causing these symptoms and what treatment can I try?

I recently took a pregnancy test that came back positive, but I've been experiencing heavy, dark bleeding and cramps, which are getting worse. I'm concerned about the back and forth pregnancy results and the symptoms I'm experiencing. What could be happening, and should I go to the ER?
