  1. Menstruation: Men do not have periods because menstruation is specific to individuals with a uterus, typically women and some transgender men or non-binary people.

  2. Biological Process: Menstruation involves shedding the uterine lining when pregnancy does not occur. Men do not have a uterus, so they do not experience this process.

  3. Hormonal Changes: Men can experience hormonal changes and symptoms related to other health conditions, but these are not the same as periods.

I've had gynaecomastia for about 2 years now and I'm really not keen on surgery. Are there any other ways to reduce male breasts without going under the knife?

Yes, several non-surgical options can be used to reduce gynecomastia, including lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, and certain medications. These methods can be effective for some men, particularly those with mild symptoms or whose gynecomastia is primarily due to excess fat or hormonal imbalances.

I'm really worried about my situation. It seems like my left fallopian tube is blocked while the right one is open. I went through 18 months of AKT for the blockage issue, and then we tried IUI at Fortis Hospital in Mohali for three cycles. During the second cycle, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy that lasted two months, but after that, the IUI just hasn't worked for us. Could you guide me on what should be the next step in treatment, besides IVF?

Considering your history of unilateral fallopian tube blockage, 18 months of Akt treatment, and three unsuccessful IUI cycles after an ectopic pregnancy, the next steps to consider before IVF could be: Laparoscopic tubal cannulation or tuboplasty to clear the blockage in the left fallopian tube; Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation to assess and potentially clear the blockage; or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with ovarian stimulation using Gonadotropins or Letrozole to enhance egg production; consult a fertility specialist to discuss these options
