The nipple on my right breast is aching and when I squeeze it, I can feel a hard mass in there making it swollen. I'm unable to get to the doctor right away. What could this be and are there any temporary home remedies I can do to ease the pain until I can get to a doctor?

I've been experiencing brown discharge for about 5 days, which I've only had before my period in the past. I'm on birth control and have been skipping the placebo pills for the past 2 months. I've never had a pap test before, and there's no unusual smell, but sometimes it itches. I always use protection during sexual intercourse. What could be causing this discharge, and should I be concerned?

I was diagnosed with Vestibular Papillomatosis (VP) around 2017. Recently, I noticed some new growths near the clitoral hood that look concerning. I'm unsure if these are still VP or if they could be Human Papillomavirus (HPV). I have had no itching, the growths are the same color as my skin, and I have not been on any medications. I am 25 years old, have a weak immune system, and have had shingles at 24. I also had one abnormal PAP test that was low-grade and negative for HPV, followed by normal results in the subsequent year. What could these new growths be?

In February, I found out I was pregnant. I believe I experienced a missed miscarriage and had a D&C done due to health risks. I had 15 abdominal X-rays around week 5 without knowing I was pregnant and was on doxycycline for Lyme disease throughout the first month of pregnancy. I had morning sickness that suddenly disappeared, followed by extreme cramping, severe lower back pain, and discomfort. I had no bleeding, just grayish discharge and very light spotting. Is it possible that a miscarriage happened or was happening?

I took Plan B right when my period ended. It’s been 4 days now and I have heavy bleeding, heavier than my actual period. Is this normal?

My CA 125 readings are high and I have various mild abdominal pains. My right ovary is twice the size of the left, and I've had multiple ultrasounds with conflicting opinions from my Gynecologist, a Chinese medicine doctor, and my regular doctor. The Chinese medicine doctor suggests a biopsy, while my regular doctor sees no issue. I'm scheduled to see a Gyn-oncology doctor tomorrow. What should I do, and are there any other tests I should consider?
