I'm a bit concerned because my husband accidentally bit my nipple, and now my left breast is hurting and feels a bit injured. It's been five days, and I haven't taken any medicine yet. Should I be worried about this, or is it time to see a doctor? Would really appreciate some guidance!

Consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a breast specialist, as soon as possible, as a nipple bite can lead to infection, abscess, or even nipple necrosis; although it's been 5 days, seeking medical attention will help assess the injury and provide guidance on wound care, pain management, and preventing potential complications, such as mastitis or breast abscess.

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. _Surgical Treatment Costs (for comparison)_ 1. _Male breast reduction surgery_: $3,000-$6,000 or more, depending on the surgeon, location, and procedure complexity.
