Arimidex for men infertility
Common Questions and Answers about Arimidex for men infertility
arimidex
After seeing an endocrinologist who ran all types of blood work which came back normal with the exception of his estrogen level a bit higher then normal and had an X-ray of his hand which showed bones of a 13 half to 14 half yr old (I was told was good ) want to give my son arimidex. My question is......is this safe for teen boys. I read its not FDA approved for children.
Anyone taking Arimidex or has taken it in the past. I am looking for feedback if it helped lower the ca 125???
My CA 125 is rising from 93 to 156 and now in the 230's... however nothing has changed on my pet scan and no
measurable disease... I am seeing my onc on Monday...and he had recommended to try if i want Arimidex.
I have other options like trying different chemo's... but then we are just treating the number... I wanted to give this
a try.... what do you think...
I have only had Arimidex. I only took it for about 2 months during my remission. I didn't really understand that it could have actually prevented my recurrence. It did cause a similiar bone pain to the carbo/taxol I had done. For that reason I quit taking it. There are doctors also using one now called Femara. Maybe one of those would work for you.
Varicocele is found in approximately 15% of the general population, 35% of men with primary infertility and in 75-81% of men with secondary infertility...Although most men with varicoceles are able to father children, there is abundant evidence that varicoceles are detrimental to male fertility.
Yesterday I got a negative blood pregnancy test after having my first and only IVF. I'm 40, in excellent health but, I've never been pregnant. After all standard fertility tests was told that I was okay. My husband is 45 and has a low sperm count (about 8 - 10 million), poor motility and morphology. After stimulation, 5 eggs were retrieved, 4 fertilized via ICSI and were transferred but apparently none implanted.
I heard that Chlamydiae and Gonorrhea can cause infertility in men, after how long do they cause infertility in men and do they cause infertility if the disease does not cause epidemititis?
If you were my patient, I would begin a work up for infertility regardless of your age. One of the first things I would do is a semen analysis (sperm count), as your partner's weight definitely could be a factor. Additionally, I would recommend that you begin using ovulation predictors to see if you are ovulating regularly. Believe it or not, Clomid can help improve fertility for both men and women.
Hi,
I found this information for you.I am also taking Arimidex and of course I am very interested in knowing more about this medication.My breast surgeon told me also that by taking Arimidex reduces the development of new breast cancers by 50 per cent.

Don't forget Arimidex is an Estrogen Inhibitor, that should give you a clue on what to expect.
Take your time and read all you can from the enclosed forum link.

) I also now occasionally consult a holistic MD (referred by my oncologist) for nutritional advice. I am thinking of adding a supplement with the arimidex (broccoli seed extract - a natural aromatase inhibitor) and monitoring estradiol/estrone with blood tests after starting the supplement. If there were a negative interaction between the arimidex and the broccoli seed extract, how accurate would the blood test's estrogen results be?
They can cause infertility. There are some supplements on the market that mess with testosterone to simulate steroids without being illegal as well.
My case is very similar to yours,my bone density is not very good either.I've been taking arimidex for almost a year now and so far, I've been tolerating it pretty well . For my bones I take Calcium+vitamin D, and once weekly Novo Alendronate which is the equivalent of what you are taking now.
Lots of discussion regarding diabetes and infertility in men. Most say diabetes "may" or "can cause" infertility, including "they suggest" but no mention of who "they" is. A few mention "studies show" but again no name of study to research the so-called study. Bottom line, nothing is conclusive.
I would seem odd to have this type of reaction since you've been on Arimidex for over 2 years but I suppose anything is possible. Since the Oncologist thinks your symptoms may be caused by something other than the drug you might want to ck. with a Neurologist regarding this numbness OR perhaps an Internist, since this may even be a circulatory issue.Sounds like it's going to be a process of elimination in order to find the cause. Regards ....
Yes. Certain diabetes complications can cause issues for men that contribute to infertility. For example, nerve damage from diabetes, multiple sclerosis or a spinal cord injury can lead to retrograde ejaculation – where the semen goes into the bladder. Since the semen never reaches the female reproductive system, infertility may be an issue. Erectile dysfunction, or the inability to achieve an erection, is another diabetes complication that can lead to fertility problems for men.
I just completed 5 years on arimidex and have been asked to be part of a study and go on it for another 5 years. Has cancer reoccurred in patients while they have been on arimidex, not due to the drug, but due to the cancer. In other words, does taking arimidex prevent cancer from reoccurring while a patient is on it?
A related discussion, <a href="/posts/Pediatrics/Is-arimidex-safe-for-teen-boys/show/1816779">Is arimidex safe for teen boys</a> was started.
I started taking Arimidex about five months ago. Since then I have had many of the typical side effects such as hand/joint pain, neuropathy in my hands, hot flashes, wakefulness at night etc. However, my sight in one eye has also begun to noticeably deteriorate. I know, because I had my eyes checked and a new eye prescription just before I started taking Arimidex. I saw my eye doctor again last week and my vision has deteriorated from 20/40 to 20/70 (with correction) in just a few months.

Introduction
Background
Sertoli-cell-only (SCO) syndrome, also called germ cell aplasia, describes a condition of the testes in which only Sertoli cells line the seminiferous tubules. Typically, these men present between age 20-40 years for evaluation of infertility and are found to be azoospermic, a term describing the absence of sperm in the ejaculate. Physical examination is often unremarkable, and the diagnosis is made based on testicular biopsy findings.
