What causes breast discomfort and nipple discharge?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. However, I need to know a few things. Since when is she having this discomfort? Does she have any discharge through the nipples?

This ultrasound (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) shows some cysts, which can be physiological as well, but she needs to get examined once. As of now, I suggest taking capsule Evion (vitamin E) 400 mg once daily for 21 days.

Can preeclampsia occur again in second pregnancy if I had it in my first pregnancy?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern.

I suggest you get one Doppler ultrasound in the first trimester, and if needed, you can be started on Ecosprin (Atorvastatin and Aspirin) tablets. You can consult your local doctor or me for the test report assessment.

TVS shows empty gestational sac with no pain or bleeding. Do I need medical help to expel it?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I would advise you to repeat your scan after one week as your beta hCG has progressively increased. If you still have just the sac and no pain or bleeding, you can go for medical management to terminate. Then it will be a missed abortion. TVS (transvaginal scan) has good sensitivity in detecting the sac and location so do not worry.
