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 11 weeks pregnant and have a 99 mm chocolate cyst do I really need surgery for it and if so is it safe for the baby

A 99mm (almost 4 inches) chocolate cyst during pregnancy, while large, doesn't automatically require surgery. Your doctor will assess the cyst's growth, your symptoms, and other factors to determine the best course of action. Generally, cysts larger than 4cm are often recommended for removal, but other factors like your symptoms and pregnancy stage play a role.
