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.

View allI'm feeling a bit anxious about something. My wife usually gets her period around the 25th of each month. We were intimate on August 10th, and she found out she was pregnant soon after. She took abortion pills on September 4th and got her period the next day. We were intimate again on September 26th. I'm just wondering, is there a possibility she could be pregnant again?
Since your wife had her period on 5th September after taking abortion pills on 4th September, it's likely that her fertility cycle reset. Given that she had sex on 26th September, which is close to her ovulation period (typically around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle), there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, it depends on her individual cycle and ovulation timing. It's advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor for more clarity.

I'm feeling really nauseous and getting vertigo after taking the ipill. I'm also feeling really weak. Is there anything specific I should avoid eating? Maybe there's a diet plan you can suggest to help with these symptoms?
Your liver function test results show slightly elevated SGPT (49) and bilirubin levels. The bilirubin indirect level (1.47) is close to the upper limit of normal. Fibrosis value (liver stiffness) of 6.3 kPa indicates mild fibrosis. Consult your doctor or a gastroenterologist to discuss these results. They may recommend further tests, such as an ultrasound or liver biopsy, to assess liver health. In the meantime, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.

I was diagnosed with hydrosalpinx in my right tube and got two different opinions one doctor recommends laparoscopic surgery with tube clipping while another suggests removing the tube completely.

A hydrosalpinx is fluid blockage in your fallopian tubes that may make it difficult for you to become pregnant. Damage to your fallopian tubes, most often from an untreated infection, can cause a hydrosalpinx. Treatments include draining and repairing the tubes or removing them (salpingectomy
