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 a little worried because I didn't take the first dose of mifepristone like I was supposed to. If I go ahead with the second and third doses, will the abortion pill still work, or is it necessary to have taken the first dose for it to be effective?
If you missed the first dose of Mifepristone, it's essential to consult the prescribing doctor or a healthcare provider for guidance; taking only the second and third doses (Misoprostol) may not be effective in inducing abortion, and the regimen's efficacy and safety may be compromised; seek medical advice to discuss the best course of action and potential alternatives
