Avatar f tn Congratulations on trying to conceive! I was being treated with Metformin for my diabetes risk and irregular cycles. For women, Metformin can also make them super fertile (odd side effect) while regulating blood sugars. I'm not familiar with men and fertility issues, so I did a quick search and found this: Male Infertility & Diabetes DCS: What about diabetes and infertility as it is related to males? Does it cause fertility issues in men, too? Dr. Falcone: Yes.
Avatar f tn reported observations on some differences between women and men in response to Lyme disease in a poster at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases. The short story: Women with Lyme disease display more clinical symptoms than do men with the disease and also are less likely to seroconvert following treatment, according to findings from a prospective cohort study involving 77 patients.
Avatar f tn t effect men more than women. By this I mean that women are more confortable talking about feelings and emotions and probably feel a little safer than men to speak of sexual abuse. Since women tend to speak about their feeling more freely they probably seek professional help more often or work things out quicker by talking to someone they trust.
Avatar f tn Men can conceive later in life than women, but their sperm does deteriorate with age, just as women's eggs do. But, there are men who have successfully gotten women pregnant in their 50's and even 60's. But age always works against us, no matter if it's men or women.
Avatar f tn Hi There, The fact of the matter is that eating disorders are very common in older women and I think that the reason that it is not a well known fact is simply because as older women this is something that we hide pretty well. I am 38 "Soon to be 39" and I also have an eating disorder. I flip flop between bulimia and just not eating at all. I am 5'0" and I weigh about 113. I have a medium frame and I work out like a demon. I both love and hate food.
Avatar m tn UNCONTROLLED diabetes can lead to erectile dysfunction (both men and women). diabetes has no direct link to reduction of desire. However being uncontrolled will lead to complications, that lead to depression, that will have an effect on desire. So control your diabetes and have a great sex life!
Avatar n tn Hi, Skin tags are very common soft harmless lesions that appear to hang off the skin. They develop in both men and women as they grow older and most often found in the skin folds (neck, armpits, groin). They also tend to be more numerous in obese persons and in those with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Skin tags are made up of loosely arranged collagen fibers and blood vessels surrounded by a thickened or thinned-out epidermis.
Avatar f tn that is an internal problem with the woman in my opinion. There are women driven by attention and yes, they'll cheat because their insecurity and need for this attention will cause them to act on impulse. But I would say that most women don't 'hate their husbands because they don't tell them they look pretty in an outfit". Nope, don't believe that.

484508 tn?1290010544 Usually morning testosterones are highest though the variation in the course of the day tends to diminish as men get older. Generally, though, I would suggest a morning value along with a prolactin (another hormone that rarely is related to low testosterone) as well as a check on your thyroid function. If you do need hormone replacement it will need to be a life long treatment, just as diabetes requires life long care. The gels and patches give the closest to normal replacement levels.
356518 tn?1322263642 The Mayo Clinic study, to be presented Saturday at the American Society of Anesthesiologists annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., involved more than 1,200 men and women admitted to a three-week outpatient pain treatment program.

1072551 tn?1258203266 He tried to leave her and she got physical (she has also been physical in the past and left bruises and scratches on him from punching him and hitting him with objects). So he shoved her out of the way and left. She called the cops and now he is sitting in jail for domestic abuse. I feel biased because this is my friend so I want to know what other people think. Do you think ths is fair?
Avatar f tn There are no guarantees in marriage. Partners get sick all of the time and a loving spouse stands by you in healthy and not healthy times.

4368956 tn?1357406071 I personally do not care for women gyns...they are rough and rude normally. Whereas men are more gentle and seem to be more understanding.

I tried to explain to him that hes a dr..hes not getting off with his hands and medical instruments in my vag..of course it didnt help...
