Avatar f tn Anybody else on here have sex issues from taking any nucs. I feel my test levels are down and Estrogen up. My erections are not what they used to be and I don't last long anymore. I'm feeling like self medicating hrt because I know doctors aren't going to give you a script unless you're extremely low. I hate estrogen pills like arimidex and aromasin. Is cialis safe to take with Entecavir?
Avatar f tn One of the benefits of soy is that it breaks down to a type of estrogen substitute. I have never taken estrogen replacement and my levels have always been great. Try a few soy products (ice cream, appetizers, supplements) and see if you feel better. Also, have you MD test your glucose levels. Both higher and lower levels will make you sweat!!
Avatar n tn I would check out that link to make sure there is some hard science to back it up, because cancer does like estrogen and a large load of blood glucose does cause a temporary insulin surge. I would guess unrefined sugar and most carbohydrate foods probably cause a bit less of a glucose load in the bloodstream and therefore less of an insulin surge than refined sugar products, and my guess is that there should be a lot of information out there in the diabetes literature.
Avatar m tn Hi Guys, i'm basically 32, morbidly Obese, Height 5'7''/67inches, Weight 245 Pounds/110KG, Finally I went to see a renowned Endocrinologist of my City, he suggested me to do couple of blood tests, results are as below: ➢ Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Test for Diabetes (Blood glucose) – 6.3 nmol/L = eAG of 134 ➢ 2-Hour Insulin Glucose Challenge Test Results: CPS-2HOURS (Cohas) = 5.06nmol/L Insulin (2HOURS) = >2089 pmol/L ➢ Insulin1 – 370 pmol/L ➢ CPS = 2.
Avatar f tn ve been reading about as I asked for progesterone and estrogen testing - thyroid was not something I considered. Thanks for any help or insight.

Avatar n tn ) ANYWAY, two days on the estrogen lotion and my shoulder pain and weakness and let up SO MUCH! This is the first time I have had any relief in about 5 years. Anyway, this is just a suggestion and I hope that you find relief soon because I def know where you are coming from!!
Avatar m tn You may need to do further blood test to assess the health of your thyroid, liver and also check up your glucose level. A check on estrogen level both total and free may be also required to know if the reduction in free T is due to high estrogen level. By the way, I am eager to know what your doctor has commented, since only he knows more about your health status after physical examination.
Avatar n tn 1 When absorbed, DIM promotes estrogen metabolism to produce healthy and cancer-protective 2-hydroxy estrogens,2 and minimizes the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes,3 thereby reducing cellular inflammation. Activating these pathways encourages remarkable weight loss and hormonal balance and provides many other benefits towards healthy aging.
Avatar f tn I started out tired in the fall. Now I have a goiter and suffer from internal shaking (head, arms, legs). Exercise aggravates the problem. I stopped taking birth control pills in March. However, since June I haven't had a menstrual cycle, and my estrogen is high. Can anyone help with these lab results? My endocrinologist has me all over the place--neurologist, sleep study, lab work, ENT--no answers. January: TSH .784 (.350-5.
Avatar m tn In case you have not taken recently some herbal medicines to boost up testosterone, or some drugs that interferes with brain functions, I would think that these levels were more or less of the same range even before. But, higher estrogen levels indicate high fat level in your body and possibly combined with high average insulin levels. Reducing estrogen level would definitely be helpful.
Avatar f tn I had a glucose test at 25 weeks (I'm now 26 weeks) as high risk as my mums side of family have diabetes, I wasn't allowed to eat after 10 Pm I was only allowed water till my 8 o'clock appointment had to wait two hours before going home as they do.
Avatar f tn Low t3 and TSH For years my doctors have not been taking my hormonal issues seriously. I have been misdiagnosed with PCOS, and my last conversation with my doctor concluded with her telling me that she thinks I have some sort of compulsive psychological disorder, i.e. she does not believe in the severity of my symptoms, which include (I'm a 21 y.o.
Avatar f tn I'm 26, no I don't take birth controls. I'm not even sure how I got hormonal imbalance. My doctor said it's stress, and that my estrogen level is at 203. I'm not sure if that's high. My sex hormones I don't have it anymore either. I constantly keep getting yeast infections. And I have to keep seeing the doctor for fluconazole but it isn't working at all.
Avatar m tn I would think you meant heavily built, and in that case, your low T could be caused by higher level of estrogen in your body, do you know your estrogen counts? If in fact high estrogen is the culprit, you should not only keep away from estrogen pills and estrogen rich food, but also try to bring it down by regular exercise and balanced food intake, there by reducing your weight. Reducing your estrogen level will naturally push up your T level.
Avatar f tn I have both hypothyroidism and PCOS, but I was diagnosed with pcos 10 years ago, and hypothryoidism 3 weeks ago. I do understand that they are very much related and often go hand in hand...
393685 tn?1425812522 Female hormone imbalance The ovaries produce many hormones. Chief among them are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone interact to coordinate a woman’s menstrual cycle during her reproductive years. The brain produces the hormones follicle stimulating hormones (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which trigger hormone production from the ovaries.
Avatar f tn I take 20 mg of Lexapro daily and on other medicine. About one year ago, I had a glucose test done at my annual pelvic exam visit, and my sugar was higher than usual but not diabetic. I'm wondering if I might be having diabetic symptoms and not even know it for sure or if it's just a side effect of me taking Lexapro.
1034736 tn?1319559035 Also, get your estrogen level checked by a gyn to see if you have a hormonal imbalance- headaches can come from estrogen dominance and hot flashes from estrogen dips. Also, if you have migraine headaches, certain foods can trigger these. If you are taking niacin, some people get flushed and hot from that. Also, stress can bring on flushed hot face.

Avatar n tn hello,i have low estrogen and my doc said it was possible hypogonadism - premature ovarian failure. all the other tests turned out fine. i took a dose of clomid and my day 21 preg. levels were very good. a good ovulation took place. i get my peroid every 28 days, just like clockwork. my husbands sperm was checked, and is okay, just 40% make it thru the cervix, and 60% the opposite direction. if i were to take a higher does of clomid would it work?
Avatar f tn She said my TSH and LH were normal. Estrogen and lining just slightly lower than they want. And, obvious low progesterone. She stated that all labs are just one cycle so hard to tell where someone is at the next month so I guess best to be overly cautious and treat for. I will also be on baby ASA as a precaution to make sure I am getting enough blood flow. Low estrogen also helps build the uterine lining, supply blood. i never heard much before, usually hear only about progesterone.
Avatar f tn Maybe you should get your female hormone levels checked (specific days of your cycle the gyn doctor can tell you when), like FSH. Also, estrogen and progesterone levels. I'm wondering if you are getting a number of estrogen dips causing hot flashes? If any endocrine numbers related to your pituitary aren't normal, ask for a dynamic MRI with and without contrast of your pituitary gland. Also, does your heart rate go fast usually but slow down toward your mense?
Avatar n tn Has anyone mentioned that you might be borderline diabetic? With you hemoglobin A1c at 6.1/6.2 and a blood glucose at 108 (assuming this was fasting) - that's the first thing that comes to my mind.... Another thing that strikes me with the "tired, no energy" is pernicious anemia - vitamin B12 deficiency...........
