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 a bit worried because my wife is about six weeks pregnant based on her last menstrual period, although the doctor mentioned it might be earlier. We had an ultrasound today and the gestational sac and yolk sac are visible, but the doctor wasn't sure if the fetal pole is there. I've got the ultrasound picture with me. Does it look like there's a fetal pole in this image? Can you let me know what you think?
Based on the ultrasound image, a fetal pole should be visible around 5-6 weeks gestation. However, without visually examining the image, it's challenging to determine visibility. To clarify, consult the ultrasound specialist or radiologist who performed the scan.

My mom needs open abdominal surgery to remove fibroids but our insurance only covers a general 6-bed ward in a well-known Mumbai hospital. Would she be better off staying there or going for a twin-sharing room in a smaller hospital? I'm worried about her comfort and recovery.
I can understand your concern. With your health policy documents comes a document in which all the affiliated hospital names are listed. Whichever you find the best, you can go there and get it operated. Any gynecologist would be able to perform this surgery. Therefore you have to consult a gynecologist of your choice and a hospital of your choice as per your insurance and then consult there.

I'm currently pregnant and considering taking M2 tone, but I'm really worried about whether it could cause a miscarriage. Could you please let me know if it's safe during pregnancy?
Tetanus Injection After a Cut: Guidance _Tetanus Risk Assessment:_ 1. _Dirty or rusty object_: Since the cut was from a kitchen knife, the risk of tetanus is relatively low. 2. _Blood exposure_: Blood was present, but this doesn't necessarily increase the tetanus risk. _Tetanus Injection Recommendations:_ 1. _Up-to-date tetanus vaccination_: If you've received a tetanus booster within the past 10 years, you likely don't need another injection. 2. _Clean and minor wound_: Given the cut is from a clean kitchen knife and is minor, a tetanus injection might not be necessary. _Precautions and Next Steps:_ 1. _Clean and dress the wound_: Immediately clean the cut with soap and water, apply antibiotic ointment, and cover with a bandage. 2. _Monitor for infection_: Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus.
