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

Hormonal treatments: Medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene can help balance hormone levels and reduce breast tissue.

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs): These medications can help reduce estrogen's effects on breast tissue.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): If low testosterone levels are contributing to gynecomastia, TRT may help.

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

Hormonal treatments: $50-$200 per month, depending on the medication and dosage.

SERMs: $30-$100 per month, depending on the medication and dosage.

TRT: $50-$200 per month, depending on the treatment plan and medication.

Lifestyle changes: No direct cost, but may require investments in gym memberships, healthy food, or fitness classes.

Surgical Treatment Costs (for comparison)

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

I'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend, I gave her Unwanted 72. An hour later, she started having a headache. She felt better the next day, but then in the afternoon, her head began hurting again, this time not as bad. However, by nighttime, the pain got really intense. Could this be a side effect of the pill? What should I do to help her feel better?

Your girlfriend may be experiencing a side effect of Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill. Headache is a common side effect of this medication. To help alleviate the headache, she can take a pain reliever such as Paracetamol (e.g. Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or becomes severe, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've been married for about four months, and every time my wife and I try to have sex, she experiences a lot of pain in her vagina. She's a virgin. What could be causing this, and how can we deal with it?

It's common for women to experience discomfort or pain during intercourse, especially if they're virgins. This can be due to tension, anxiety, or the hymen. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to ensure there are no underlying issues, and consider using a lubricant and taking things slowly to help ease the discomfort. Open communication with your wife is also important to ensure both of you are comfortable.
