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 had unprotected sex at the end of May and took an i-pill within a day. I had some bleeding after that on the 6th of June, but my period was supposed to come around the 11th and it hasnt yet. My breasts feel tender now. When should I expect my period to come? I'm worried about whats happening.
After taking the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) and experiencing withdrawal bleeding, it's common for menstrual cycles to be disrupted; considering your periods were due on June 11th, you can expect them to arrive anytime between now and 4-6 weeks from the date of withdrawal bleeding, so wait and watch for another 2-4 weeks, and if still no periods, take a pregnancy tes

I've been dealing with a urine infection ever since I got pregnant and I'm 25 years old, currently 23 weeks along. My recent routine report showed RBC at 24, epithelial cells at 25-30, and pus cells at 10-15. Everything else seems to be in the normal range. I'm really concerned about these numbers and not sure what they mean for my pregnancy. Could this be harmful to my baby, and what should I do about it?
