Intermittent pain can be concerning. _Possible causes:_ 1. _Muscle strain_: Overstretching or straining a muscle can cause pain, especially when bending, stretching, or taking deep breaths. 2. _Rib or cartilage issue_: Pain when taking deep breaths could indicate a rib or cartilage problem, such as costochondritis. 3. _Intercostal muscle strain_: Strain in the muscles between the ribs can cause pain when bending, stretching, or breathing deeply. _What to do:_ 1. _Apply heat or cold packs_: Try applying heat or cold packs to the affected area to relieve pain and discomfort. 2. _Stretch gently_: Gentle stretching can help relieve muscle tension. Avoid overstretching, which can exacerbate the issue. 3. _Rest and relaxation_: Get plenty of rest and try to manage stress to help your body recover. 4. _Consult a doctor_: If the pain persists or worsens, consult a primary care physician or an orthopedic specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance. _When to seek immediate attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If the pain is severe, sudden, or worsens over time. 2. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or chest pain. 3. _Fever or swelling_: If you notice fever, swelling, or redness around the affected area.

Can gynecomastia be treated without surgery and does it really cause infertility in men who have it
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breast tissue, can sometimes be treated without surgery, particularly in cases of mild or early-stage gynecomastia, or when it's caused by excess body fat (pseudogynecomastia). However, more severe or glandular-based gynecomastia often requires surgical intervention. While gynecomastia itself doesn't directly cause infertility, a hormonal imbalance that contributes to gynecomastia can sometimes also affect fertility.
