Avatar m tn Does Amocicilin affect male fertility? My wife and I have been separated (because of work) and have only few chances to conceive our second child. One of those rare opportunities is here and at the same time this drug has been prescribed for me...
Avatar m tn Hello. I am a 24 year old male. My wife and I conceived and recently lost the baby at 10 weeks. Doctors advised she had a blighted ovum. I am concerned about my fertility as a male. If I had fertility issues, would she have gotten pregnant in the first place? Does a blighted ovum mean that I could have underlying fertility issues? If I could get answers, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much! Also, side not.
Avatar f tn everything seems to be working just fine but this has left me a little unsure. walgreens has a male fertility checker that measures sperm count would this be good enough to feel that I'm fertile still?thank you.
Avatar m tn s not lifestyle related, and not related to any current health conditions - there are treatments that men can seek to correct fertility problems - and allowing a DR to take a variety of tests to help guide and measure your fertility is 100% okay and having that direction will be beneficial.
Avatar f tn Abstract The function of the secondary sex organs was found to be markedly impaired in 29 participants in a methadone maintenance program. The ejaculate volume and seminal vesicular and prostatic secretions were reduced by over 50 per cent in methadone clients, as compared to 16 heroin addicts and 43 narcotic-free controls. Serum testosterone levels were also approximately 43 per cent lower in methadone clients than in controls or heroin users.

Avatar m tn Also, can I expect, with a diligent change in diet and vitamin consumption, as well as completely refraining from smoking and drinking, that my sperm quality will improve? If so how much? And do you have any ideas as to what vitamins might be beneficial to sperm quality? Thank you.

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 m tn I am sure you would be able to get a proper solution from a fertility clinic and hope that your fertility problem if any would be cured early.
Avatar n tn selenium, amino acids like l-carnitine, and antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E are important for sperm health. L-carnitine is particularly important for sperm motility. You may discuss with your doctor about any fertility enhancers for your husband. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar m tn Hello and thanks in advance for your services. I'm a 24yr otherwise healthy male, and my fiance is a 22yr old healthy female. My question is can alcohol affect fertility? I recently was a heavy drinker and party goer, drinking around 8 beers a day and on the weekends more, I know the health affects it has on my body otherwise that is why I dont do this anymore.
Avatar f tn As with heroin and all other opiates, methadone tolerance and methadone dependence usually develop with repeated doses. Tolerance to Methadone administered in a pain-control program usually occurs during the first few weeks of use; whereas respiratory depression, sedation, and nausea can be seen immediately.
Avatar m tn I am a 58yr. old male. I have hep c genotype 3 and cirrhosis. I have been on methadone maint. and clean for over 15yrs. Alot of the time I fell as if I'm going thru withdrawal, it's AWFUL. My clinic swears they are not detoxing me, and my liver Dr. says I MUST be stable to start treatment. So why do I feel as though I don't have any methadone in my system, or very little. I just don't understand, Is it because of my liver?

Avatar n tn My husband and I are trying to have a baby and we found out two years ago my husband has a fertility issue..He has gone through so many sperm analysis, which shows that he has a very low sperm count, very low motility, verly low viability and extremely low (0% normal) morphology.. He has also gone through the Varicose vein repair last year October 2007 but it seems that the surgery will not help.. Will we be able to have a child naturally?
Avatar f tn Hi, Thanks for writing in. Male fertility depends upon the semen analysis which determines sperm count, motility and morphology. Exposure to dry or wet heat can hamper sperm count and motility. Heat has an effect on sperm production. As your child is still young you can educate him on this.
Avatar f tn Is there any @home test for male & or female fertility.? I ask because doctors have said I have no problem and I'm a proud Step-Mother to my husband's 7 year old daughter... After "not trying not to" have a baby for roughly 3 years, I'd like to see myself if there's an issue, before involving doctors.
1094413 tn?1257260160 thanx,what do u mean by slugglish b/c my doctors are saying that at the dose im at right now my baby has a 10 percent chance of having withdrawls but everybody that on methadone and pregnant there body adapts differently and also does the babys,they said it depends how much actually crosses over through the placenta.
Avatar f tn ve read that L-carnitine works best when taken in conjuntion with L-Arginine and L-Lysine sp? They are amino acids if I remember correct and do help with male fertility. Watch zinc. While it is essential to male fertility, it is stored in the body and can be o'd and serious if is.
