Avatar m tn Well I think you should also take blood tests for FSH, LH and Testosterone and perhaps repeat prolactin again in a few months time. If you know that you produced sperm at some point in your lifetime, then probably you will be able to produce sperm again once the medication takes full effect and prolactin is stabilized. However, FSH is the best test you can take because then you will know whether your testicles are working or not.

Factors that contribute to longevity include genetic makeup (how long have his ancestors lived?) level of activity (couch potato or canine athlete?) and a lot of intangibles. Border Collies make lousy couch potatoes. They need a great deal of mental and physical stimulus to stay mentally and physically fit.

Avatar m tn My brother has severe COPD. He's on oxygen at least 16hrs. per day. He's also overweight, drinks alot and still smokes a pack or so everyday. His oxygen level is 72% but when he stays on oxygen it goes up to 80. He can't walk across the street without getting "all in." He says he only has a year or two to live. I think he's wrong and with all the medications and treatments available, he'll be around for 10-20 years.
Avatar n tn You dont have to worry about for instance touching a cold sore then opening a door and then the next person touching the door knob and then touching their face being an issue. For as common as herpes is - the virus really is a whimp. It really isn't going to be transmitted without direct skin on skin contact with the virus with some heat and friction to get it into the body.

Avatar n tn While I do not have any data, the fact that you can get it from towels,moist floor,and swimming pools,a punch from the glove of a boxer yes atleast a day most effective spread immedietly on contact.
Avatar m tn Hi, if you had a stent to the only blockage in your heart, then you can tell the Doctor after 3 months you don't wish to take a beta blocker any more. Some patients just can't put up with them because of side effects or whatever. I have no idea why, but it's just an automatic thing to prescribe beta blockers. If you have no other blockages and your heart has no damage, then it's plain to see that there is no need to play with your heart using meds.
Avatar m tn But long term use of testosterone and other steroids have transient effects and there is no scientific evidence that performance is enhanced. There is abuse liability so I would suggest you to follow up with a physician or endocrinologist for case to case prescriptions. Take care!
Avatar f tn Suboxone not only effects sex drive it effects Testosterone levels. There is a lot of misunderstanding of this out there. Viagra and Cialis without sex drive equals an erection that allows for sex but no satisfaction to the male if there is no drive. Low testosterone causes low sex drive and erectile dysfunction.
Avatar n tn The doctor checked my testosterone level due to and adverse affect of opiates, and I didnot have any. He put me on supplemental testosterone, but I have read it would come back naturally and taking supplements will stop the natural production of my testosterone. Anyone had this issue.

Avatar n tn Did you discuss the longevity of the medication with your doctor? He should have been able to answer your question straight out right there and then.

Avatar n tn The size is determined by the testosterone receptors which don’t change in number after puberty and thus taking any testosterone boosters is not going to affect the size of the penis. I sincerely hope I am able to address your query & hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar m tn I made an appointment with a Urologist a couple weeks ago because I have been having issues with maintaining an erection and one of the things that the doctor did was take some blood to check my testosterone levels. I am involved in a committed relationship and it has taken a tole on both of us for months. Back in 2007 I took testosterone (Steroids) for about 6-8 weeks. My testosterone level came back as 287 which is low for a man of any age.
Avatar n tn I am extremely depressed and am suffering with hypothyroidism, low testosterone, too much estrogen, high cholesterol and low Vitamin D what is wrong with me? I originally thought that everything here is linked to depression from stress and anxiety so I started taking Lexapro for the depression. But my wife thinks that maybe all of these things are linked to a health issue. About 11 months ago I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and low thyroid, so I am taking red rice yeast and .
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm a ~41 year old male. I recently had blood work done and found my Testosterone is a little low. The "Free" Testosterone was 45 and the "Total, MS" was 217. It was recommended I get injections every 4 days to get those numbers up to at least 500. In doing a little extra research of my own (because I was curious if there are natural ways to boost my numbers), I can't help but notice a lot of this could be due to diet and alcohol consumption.
Avatar m tn Has anyone else had a rise in BP with testosterone? Im 36 and in decent shape, BMI is 33 and am taking BP meds. Looking for feedback or personal experiences. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I just wanted to see if low testosterone was still common. I failed to mention I am bipolar and been on many meds and also overweight. Just wanted to see if there were any males that deal with low testosterone. I already had planned on getting the test.
Avatar n tn My urologist tested my testosterone only, which he concluded was normal, and said he expected my situation to improve. Well, it has not, and it is causing me major stress. I first began having problems about a year ago soon after a breakup. Since then, I have not felt right. My level of sexuality plummeted, and I simply don't know what to do. Have there been any traumatic occurrences lately in your life?
