What is the best treatment approach for breast cancer?
Hello doctor,
I am 63 years old and have just found out that I have breast cancer. I will likely need to undergo a mastectomy. I have been prescribed two medications, Ribociclib and Alpelisib. I want to know if I should take the medications and wait or proceed with the mastectomy as soon as possible. Please help me.

My vagina is dry and sore after using sanitary pads. Will this cause pain during sex?
Hi doctor,
I am a 21-year-old girl. Two weeks ago, after I finished my periods, I noticed my vagina was irritated. This happened before when using sanitary napkins and took about two weeks to go away. My vagina is sore and dry, but I noticed that it hurt when I had intercourse with my boyfriend. The itching had gone, yet the pain was still there. And now I have symptoms of a UTI, or kidney infection. I do not have any strange discharges and have recently become sexually active. My boyfriend has no STIs. Kindly give your opinion.
