Question 1

Can a woman get pregnant after family planning operation?

Accepted Answer

It is still possible to become pregnant after undergoing the procedure, but tubal ligation is usually highly effective. The surgery involves cutting and tying off the fallopian tubes to prevent an egg from entering the uterus. Undergoing tubal ligation increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?

Overcoming Gynecomastia Without Surgery

_Possible Non-Surgical Treatments_

1. _Hormonal treatments_: Medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene can help balance hormone levels and reduce breast tissue.
2. _Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs)_: These medications can help reduce estrogen's effects on breast tissue.
3. _Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)_: If low testosterone levels are contributing to gynecomastia, TRT may help.
4. _Lifestyle changes_: Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding certain substances (e.g., steroids, marijuana) can help reduce breast tissue.

_Cost of Non-Surgical Treatments_

1. _Hormonal treatments_: $50-$200 per month, depending on the medication and dosage.
2. _SERMs_: $30-$100 per month, depending on the medication and dosage.
3. _TRT_: $50-$200 per month, depending on the treatment plan and medication.
4. _Lifestyle changes_: No direct cost, but may require investments in gym memberships, healthy food, or fitness classes.

_Surgical Treatment Costs (for comparison)_

1. _Male breast reduction surgery_: $3,000-$6,000 or more, depending on the surgeon, location, and procedure complexity.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance. I was diagnosed with a cyst in my right ovary and was prescribed Regestrone for five days, which brought on my period. The doctor also advised me to start taking Diane 35 on the fourth day, which I've been taking regularly. I've only two more tablets left from my pack. I did have unprotected sex during the first week of starting the pill, but there was no ejaculation inside. Should I be concerned about the possibility of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

The chances of pregnancy are slim.
You shouldn't worry about it since you said there was no ejaculation inside.
Kindly wait for your periods or consult a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.

I'm finding some lumps around my nipples, breasts, and arms, but I don't seem to have any other symptoms right now. Should I be worried about these lumps? What could they mean, and should I get them checked out soon?
