Avatar m tn If you experience side effects or if you plan to discontinue it, it is best that you discuss this with your doctor, who knows your medical history and the management plan of your condition. Side effects of proscar include trouble getting or keeping an erection, decrease in sex drive, decreased volume of ejaculate, and ejaculation disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Saw palmetto allegedly helps reduce prostatic enlargement and there have been a few citations for it being effective in benign hyperplasia. However its use has been associated with side effects and use is only advised after consultation with a doctor. Hope this helps. Take care!
250398 tn?1225263291 Thanks Dr. The Cardura was prescribed for the BPH, then the proscar was added later. In addition, I do take Norvasc for Hypertension, which is undercontrol, as far as the readings are concerned (120-130/80-84). Thans for your advice. Will follow-up accordingly.
Avatar n tn Propose that your partner try Avodart. I think it really helps with prostate enlargement. That is what the television commercials say anyhow. Unfortunately it also can cause a large reduction in semen production. AND women wanting to become pregnant should NEVER touch the pill as it can cause birth defects if they are exposed at all to it. You can Google Avodart read all of this yourself from a variety of sites, including Avodart's manufacturer.

Avatar n tn What I found interesting, was that after looking at my favorite top 5, increase and decrease in libido was not even mentioned although they were quick to note side effects such as depression, vaginal dryness and legathy. Even the official website for Arimidex itself and the "largest known site for the most comprehensive list of side effects" doesn't touch libido...at all. Hmmm However, women taking this medication tell a different story.
Avatar n tn It has a 90% cure rate and little to no side effects from the treatments... Its like I am cured and was never sick... I hope this helps you.
Avatar n tn HCV treatment can take on a certain drama and it may not be working out well in his household. The women may also be somehow physically exposed to the medications. Put them all away in a secure place and encourage the women to support the therapy by keeping him company,seeing to his exercise and dietary needs, and empathizing with his fatigue. I think they'll be happier and healthier if they come out of the medication loop.
Avatar f tn The most common side effects are hot flashes and vaginal discharge. Some women experience irregular menstrual periods, headaches, fatigue, nausea and/or vomiting, vaginal dryness or itching, irritation of the skin around the vagina, and skin rash. As with menopause, not all women who take tamoxifen have these symptoms. Men who take tamoxifen may experience headaches, nausea and/or vomiting, skin rash, impotence, or a decrease in sexual interest.
Avatar f tn Most women have no lasting side effects from an epidural. Only about 2-3% of women have lasting side effects such as headaches and even less likely partial paralysis. The most common side effect of an epidural is a drop in moms BP. This can sometimes reduce fetal heart rate but usually isn't enough to cause any harm to mom or baby. If you go in and there are any concerns with baby's heart rate they may not allow an epidural at all.
Avatar f tn A problem is, testosterone varies a whole lot in both men and women, by the day, hour, week, etc. and even more in women than men, so the only true way to know if you had abnormally low levels would have been to test you a lot, not just twice. You did have the same levels twice, so it might be a problem. A question would be, how's your sexual desire? How's your stamina? How's your ability to build muscle? How's your energy levels?
Avatar n tn What role, if any, could this medication be playing in this? If it is negatively impacting muscle growth, is there a way to counteract the effects that it is having on my muscle without sacrificing my hair?
Avatar f tn Headache, mood changes, abdominal pain, loss of libido, and vaginal dryness may be seen in few women using the implant. Few women may also have weight gain as one of its side effects. Few women may also develop ovarian cysts while on nexplanon. It is best to discuss the risks and benefits of any birth control method before starting to use it. It is best to have a frank discussion with your gynecologist about these side effects.
Avatar m tn The burning and itching goes away only to come back sometimes months or weeks later. The other side effects I have if I have nocturnal emissions i sometimes develop a bump where siemen touches for an unknown period of time, fishy smelling siemen and yellowish- off white color. due to long term exposure to whatever this is my penis has become curved in erection. and by the way my lab test came back negative today. my sex partner would only be diagnosed as a bacterial infection.

486867 tn?1307139011 I thought he was doing really good because he barely had any side effects till about 2 or so weeks ago besides his occasional mood swings. They told us if the Clomid doesn't work they'll consider surgery for his varicocele so maybe they'll do the surgery which is what I wanted in the first place. I'm glad to hear that the side effects will go away. I felt kinda bad for him.
Avatar m tn Now I am 26 unmarried, Please let me know do mastarbuation have done any side effects to my is my sexual stamina.
Avatar f tn Chronic stomach upset,fatigue and a very loud ringing in my ears are the most annoying symptoms. Are these tramadol side effects?
Avatar f tn I wanted to know from women in their fifties and sixties if there have been any long term effects from having one removed. Like for instance early osteoporosis or early menopause. Things that the doctors might not of thought of on their own. I would also like to hear from women that haven't had any issues. Thank you so much and God Bless!

Avatar f tn If you go to chemocare.com you can read all the side effects of Tamoxifen. What you mention are all listed there. The weight gain no doubt is due to fluid retention which is one of the side effects. You might discuss changing drugs with your Oncologist as there are others available but keep in mind that they all have similar side effecfts even though you mjight not experience them to the same degree. Regards .....
451366 tn?1211304932 Memory problems are common side effects for the same reason and the close relation between GABA and glutamate, glutamate being involved in learning and memory. Other side effects more likely to happen in women are dizziness, tiredness, balance problems.
Avatar m tn bacterial infections! So I started researching side effects to Adderall and after much digging around I finally came across a post in a woman's forum regarding a common STD which is a bacterial infection and the women were discussing Adderall. Sure enough, there were tons of ladies complaining that they have had an increase in all that is bacterial infections since taking the medicine. It seems to be linked, Bacterial Infections and Adderall.
Avatar n tn I took clomid CD5-9 for the first time this month too, and I'm CD12 today. No side effects whatsoever...so far, at least! But I have heard some of the other women on here say they've experienced cramping and hot flashes. I think those are the two most common side effects. Good luck to you!!!
Avatar n tn Do you agree with general guidance for invoking active treatment vs. observation if another biopsy done in 04/09 shows increase in positive cores to 3 or more or if any one core shows 50%+ positive for cancer? Also, is there any current opinion regarding use of Avodart or Proscar while in Watchful Waiting mode? I understand there would be a likely reduction in PSA, but that new PSA baseline be established and return to monitoring of PSA velocity.
Avatar n tn Believe me, you don’t want this unless it’s to save your life, as in if you’re diagnosed w/ cancer. Look up side-effects of radical prostatectomy - I think you’ll agree this is too extreme for prostatitis. There’s a good chance it will lead to permanent ED - some guys regain partial function (w/ help from Viagra, etc.), and a VERY small % regain most of it, but the majority don’t & many are left w/ permanent ED that even Viagra, Cialis, etc. can’t fix.
Avatar m tn I saw cases (on Internet) that it may erupt suddenly into grade 4 with every next infusion (some scary pics there). Anybody experienced really bad skin side effects with Doxil? Would it go away completely after chemo finishes? Anyone had positive effects from topical steroids? I would try them first before --if they help-- before other options. I am seeing my oncologist next week, after infusion #4 and obviously want to complete this chemo cycle with no interruption.
Avatar n tn Shortly after I started the drug, I started having hot flashes and bad leg cramps. My doctor then prescribed Effexor for those side effects. I started at 37.5 mg and worked up to 75mg which I took for 5 years. A month ago he changed my prescription to 37.5 mg and said to stop once the medicine ran out. I took my last pill 3 days ago. I feel horrible. I have nausea, dizziness, a swoshing feeling when I turn my head from side to side and just feel bad overall. I have been cranky and moody.
Avatar f tn Some women simply can't orgasm through intercourse at all, others can but so long as there's some clitoral stimulation from her partner, herself, or even a vibrator. I also find it's easier if things are better than usual outside the bedroom and I can completely lose myself in the moment because of it. I don't know what the spasms and panting are, though. That...is different. I would consider seeing a doctor.
