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

  1. Hormonal treatments: Medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene can help balance hormone levels and reduce breast tissue.
  2. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs): These medications can help reduce estrogen's effects on breast tissue.
  3. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): If low testosterone levels are contributing to gynecomastia, TRT may help.
  4. 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

  1. Hormonal treatments: $50-$200 per month, depending on the medication and dosage.
  2. SERMs: $30-$100 per month, depending on the medication and dosage.
  3. TRT: $50-$200 per month, depending on the treatment plan and medication.
  4. Lifestyle changes: No direct cost, but may require investments in gym memberships, healthy food, or fitness classes.

Surgical Treatment Costs (for comparison)

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

I'm just a bit worried after my abortion started on April 10th, and even after the medicine course, my bleeding didn't stop. When I visited the gynecologist, the ultrasound showed an incomplete abortion, and she advised going for a vacuum aspiration to prevent any infection. But honestly, I didn't want to go through that procedure, so I took more misoprostol for three days, around 400 mg twice daily, making it 8 mg per day. After that, I experienced more bleeding and cramping, but everything seems to have stopped after a week. There's no more bleeding, no cramping, and the only discharge I'm noticing is the usual natural white discharge. It's been 12 days now, and everything feels back to normal. So, I'm curiousdoes this mean my abortion is now complete and there are no leftover tissues? Could you give me some advice on this?

Although you've experienced bleeding and cramping after self-administering additional misoprostol, it's crucial to schedule a follow-up ultrasound with your gynecologist to confirm complete abortion and rule out any remaining tissue or complications.
