Do uterine polyps cause weight gain?

Question 2

I've been having this really intense itching in my vulva for about a month now. It mostly gets worse at night. I did take an ipill around the same time, and I'm wondering if that could be linked to the itching. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and what can I do to relieve it?

Question 3

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.
