Avatar m tn Low growth hormone should mean more testing - however, insurance in the US (and I assume elsewhere) will not pay on the IGF-1 test as growth hormone pulses so you can take it at different times and it would be different so you have to have several tests to show low and then a stimulation test in order to get medication. I take it myself. GH should also be tested at least once just for source.
Avatar m tn If you have current thyroid hormone test results, please post them and be sure to include reference ranges, which vary from lab to lab and have to come from your own report. Type I or Type II diabetes?
Avatar m tn I will try to go through your question step by step but feel free to give feedback or provide additional information during our discussion. Growth hormone deficiency has been linked with numerous causes, including idiopathic (no know causes), benign pituitary tumors including carniopharyngioma and pituitary adenomas, sarcoidosis, and infectious causes, amongst numerous other things.
Avatar f tn DHEA-sulfate test measures the amount of DHEA-sulfate in the blood. DHEA-sulfate is a weak male hormone (androgen) produced by the adrenal gland in men and women. If your levels are high, you may have the unwanted side affects of excess hair or other male characteristics. This is something to follow with PCOS.
Avatar f tn m trying to understand some things. I understand a lot of what happens to men when they have one of these let alone 3. My partner (or whatever he's calling himself right now) was just diagnosed with all 3. I knew something was very wrong but needed to research it to figure out what I was seeing: depression, fatigue, weight gain, no motivation, no sex drive, rage, confusion, inability to make decisions, frustration..

Avatar f tn :-) aww! They don't all cheat. I promise. Read "An Idiot's Guide to Intimacy" ! Seriously. It was really eye opening for me b/c I was always one to "blame the guy", too but after reading it, I realize I have my own intimacy issues, too.
Avatar m tn Any men out there who found that their erectile dysfunction / libido returned with treatment?
Avatar f tn It is still very tough and yes, I wish men could remotely understand what this is like. Most men cry over a cold, they have no idea what this is like. Hang in there and know you are not alone.
Avatar m tn t produce enough of the sex hormone testosterone.

Avatar f tn Yeah, sadly it sounds like you happen to be with an as$hole. Have a talk with him, and try to settle it, or even take him to the doctors office for your appointment, and have the doctor explain the hormone changes, and why it's normal to not want sex all the time. He may be more inclined to listen to a medical professional giving a valid explanation, as guys usually find anything we have to say just us b!tching at them, and never listen.
Avatar m tn As we men age, our testosterone depletes fairly quickly. I read somewhere that after the age of 35, our testosterone ("T" count) drops like 5% a year or something like that. I would consider getting your T levels checked because those can greatly affect the intensity and volume of your O's. I started getting T therapy when I turned 40, and I have noticed MASSIVE difference in how things feel.
Avatar n tn If the thyroid levels are normal, then use a tape measure instead of a scale to indicate if you are advancing in getting healthy with your exercising and eating healthy. Measure your waist and hips as a guide for trimming down. As we exercise we build lean body muscle mass which weight more than fat so the scale reflects no weight loss when in fact the body is trimming down fat. The tape measure will measure loss of inches and your clothes will start to feel looser. Hope this helped you.
Avatar f tn There is a question of whether my mother has men or not. There are 9 kids in our family, plus our children. I so far have had a single parathyroid adenoma and small goiter. I do have multiple medical problems that being treated, which include kidney stones. My labs are good except my K+, which is low. Do you think that there is any risk in genetic testing and do you think that there is any need to test?
Avatar f tn You don't need a doctor, you need a psychologist. You appear to have a fear of and hatred of gays, which isn't unusual at your age when you're sexuality is new and very strong hormonally but you lack experience to guide you. The shame you feel is tied to your negative feelings about being gay and probably has nothing to do with whether you're gay or not, and you're probably not.

Avatar f tn He is following the erroneous belief that a low TSH always means thyrotoxicosis (too much thyroid hormone). But how can that be the case, when your FT4 is even below range, and your FT3 is only at 9% of its range. Obviously that is not "too much thyroid hormone. The problem is that the ATA/AACE Guidelines for hypothyroidism say that thyroid medication dosage should be adjusted as needed to keep TSH in range.
Avatar m tn Well, men have hormones, of course. :-) Sometimes the hypothalamus misfires, and since it is in charge of sending hormones out into the body, the person can get hot or cold flashes. The doctor should definitely get your testosterone levels and be thinking about if your hypothalamus is operating as it should. And if it is not, why not. I also think there can be a connection between diabetes and hot/cold flashes, but let your doctor be your guide in diagnosis. Good luck!

15220746 tn?1439216649 Hi, you should see a doctor that specializes in hormone therapy, and have a complete hormone panel done.They should be able to guide you on how to proceed. I have premature ovarian failure because of undiagnosed hypothyroidism. There are progesterone creams over the counter you can use day 14 to 26, but in your case I strongly advise you to see a doctor to guide you, and to tell you honestly how good are your chances. Progesterone helps sustain the pregnancy not just help you conceive.
