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.

My wife gave birth to our baby boy nearly two months ago, and just recently, I've noticed she's had a couple of nosebleeds and her right eye looks red. Could this be something serious? Should she see a gynecologist, or is it better to consult an ENT or an eye doctor? Also, is it okay for her to continue breastfeeding? I'm really looking forward to some guidance here.
