Avatar n tn “Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.
Avatar n tn I am a 23 year old male and noticed approximately 4-5 weeks ago that I have been losing quite a bit of hair. Not in large clumps but when I run a wet hand through my hair, a good 10-20 hairs are stuck to it. If I keep running my hand through more and more keeps coming out. Although it is worst in the front it appears to be rapidly thinning everywhere. I have very thick hair so this may have been going on for longer and I may have just not realized it.

486867 tn?1307139011 Do you know what type of male infertility your DH has? I am really, really... hoping the surgery and Clomid work!
486867 tn?1307139011 Hi everyone :) ...DH and I are doing our first IUI in about 2 weeks. I should be starting AF tomorrow. I'm really nervous. I keep trying to convince myself to wait one more month to do our IUI. I make up excuses. I'm really looking for success stories. I need some extra support. I keep trying to tell myself if I think positive, positive things will happen.
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 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 n tn t ejaculate any sperm in their semen for them to actually go into the testicle and remove some of the testicular tissue, then they look underneath the microscope and find sperm, and do ICSI with IVF for the female.. not sure if this is the same situation or not, but i do know they have good success rates with the above procedure! GOOD LUCK!
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 n tn To my horror I came across this page and saw your posts. I stopped taking propecia more than a year ago and have not regained any of the sexual funtion i lost while taking the meds. My erections are LAME, my seaman volume is a joke (and it used to come out like a garden hose) and my orgasms dont even feel that great. I can go months and months now without masterbation and dont even feel horny. This NEVER used to happen to me.
Avatar n tn I took him to dermetologist, he priscribed Propecia for him. He said it has sexual side effect and goes away when yo sop taking the drug. He has lots of hair now and he does not lose any more hair. However, news is floting around saying that the sexual side effect comes from propecia is sometime not reversible. Asyesterday,he stopped his medicine. I am really worried if it has done any damage to him or not.
Avatar m tn I do not want to stop taking Propecia because it has done wonders for my hair. Propecia has halted my hair loss and has re-grown considerable amount of hair. Thus, I need to address my erection problems while still being able to take Propecia. I read that L-Arginine could help with my erectile problems and that it works similar to Viagra. Thus, I began taking L-Arginine, 1500 mg. twice a day. It has helped but it has not solved the problem.
Avatar m tn 5 mg for one year and 1 mg for 1 year till today), In october 2016 my derm put me on accutane 10 mg and minoxiline(100mg) for treating my mild acne, I had been drinking heavily for 5 days before starting my accutane course, 10 days into the course, I started to have Gyno(Unilateral, right breast with a movable tender lump and water like fluid discharge when pressed), I dropped accutane and minoxiline and also propecia after 23 days.
Avatar m tn Propecia) is available with a prescription. It comes in pills and is only for men. It may take up to 6 months before you can tell if one of these medicines is working. ref:http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/men/general/081.
Avatar n tn I had no problems before this period with a strong ejaculation. There also seems to be less volume of fluid.( I am a 40 year old male and had a vasectomy 2 years ago.) Is this a sign of a prostate problem? Also, I don't know if this is pure coincidence or not but the problem seemed to start after I started supplementing with "saw palmetto" for prostate health.

Avatar m tn I am a male with GHSV-1...i read the other day that GH can crush a man's sperm count and lead to infertility...is there truth to this? Thanks for your time.
1132002 tn?1260268657 I am a 27 year old male and i am having trouble keeping an erection. the problem only comes along when we get to the intercourse part of it during foreplay i don't seem to have this problem. over the past year this has gotten worse it seem like wants i go in for penetration thats when it all goes downhill (pardon the pun ) i get this mental thing going on to where if i don't enter on the first try thats when i lose it and sometimes just the thought of me thinking of losing it stops me.
Avatar f tn My DH also has male factor issues with a very low morphology (1%), borderline motility and a count that seems to fluctuate from good to poor. I have him taking a ton of vitamins, minerals and herbs, including B, C, D, E, folic acid, l-carnitine, l-glutamine, zinc, selenium, coenzyme Q10, lycopene, a multi-vitamin and maritime pine bark (an antioxidant).
1358758 tn?1390767067 Anyone ttc despite male factor infertility? It seems that this is a less common issue discussed on forums. Maybe I'm missing these posts. My DH has poor sperm morphology (1%) and I have yet to chat with anyone dealing with a similar issue. I'm having questions about doing IVF (with ICSI) in this case and would like to share information/thoughts with someone who is considering or already completed IVF using ICSI, particularly if morphology was the problem. Anyone relate???
Avatar m tn Tobacco, drugs, alcohol - all three are common, and they do not help male fertility. Severe weight gain/obesity. Tight underclothing or pants - especially while jogging or biking. Mostly anything that would contribute to poor health. Secondly, don't think you can correct these things today and you'll be fertile tomorrow - sometimes the body needs time to get itself back into balance.
