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 allMy last menstrual cycle started on 15/05/2019 but it was a mistake because she's pregnant now. I'm considering abortion but she's already had three surgical deliveries. Can you advise on the risks or what options we have in this situation?

My wife recently had her first period after an abortion that happened due to no heartbeat detected at two months into the pregnancy. It's been quite heavy, and we're on the fourth day now. While it seems to have lightened up a tiny bit today, it's still more than what we expected. Should we be concerned about the amount of bleeding she's experiencing right now?
As she is getting her periods after 2months, it can be little heavy. But if she is having pain or if she is passing clots or fleshy mass she has to visit her doctor. If not it will stop in 2-4 days. If the bleeding doesn't stop in 2-4 days, then also she needs to visit her doctor.

I'm a bit worried. I had protected sex yesterday and just to be extra sure, I took a pregnancy test today which came back negative. But then, I got my period later, though it was a little late. Do I need to take another pregnancy test, or should I be concerned about getting pregnant? I really don't want to be pregnant right now. Can you help me figure this out?
It's reassuring that the pregnancy test came back negative, especially since you got your period, even if it was a bit late. Delayed periods can sometimes happen due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. Since you had protected sex and the test is negative, there's no need to worry about pregnancy at this point, but if you're still concerned, you can repeat the test or consult with your doctor for further peace of mind.
