Avatar m tn So, you will die, and so will I. It is only that one of us will die earlier, and it can as well be me. You are probably at an advantageous situation in that you know to a reasonably certain extent why and how you will de. You can probably set your things right. The purpose of every living thing is to ultimately reproduce and leave some of its genes behind. But I believe that each child deserves to have both parents, for as long as possible.
Avatar m tn Hey guy, we ALL have a LOT of apprehension and anxiety about this DCM thing (and of course, ED!!!!) but you need to somebody to look you straight in the eye like they finally did with me and say "You're NOT going to die, this is serious BUT manageable!!!" Unless, of course one can die from going soft before you can get the job done! I'll admit that's pretty dreadful.
Avatar m tn Yes, 0.808 would be considered normal for the test that was ordered. Unfortunately, that test is very outdated and really should never be ordered. what it means is that the lab should analyze TSH and if that's in range, they should do nothing further, but if TSH is out of range, they should analyze Free T4...
Avatar m tn You’ll just need to explore other options that don’t require an erect penis. Believe me, there are many! And don’t forget the importance of nonsexual touch, holding and stroking each other, etc. These can enhance your relationship in many ways.
Avatar n tn we were so, so happy that it worked, but I kepted feeling that there was something wrong. Sure enough 4 days later I felt wet and had to run to the toilet. I had started to bleed, not a brownish but pink/red colour. I was so worried & just started to rest up on my bed. Called the clinic and they said that this was normal & that I should take things easy & not too stress.
Avatar n tn Lupron is an injectable GnRH analog it decreases FSH and LH levels. It is used in Assisted Reproduction techniques like before an intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization. Sperm motility may be decreased due to tobacco intake, smoking, low intake of zinc etc.In such cases intrauterine insemination may help. Your doctor may be planning assisted reproduction technology for you. Discuss all your concerns with your treating doctor. Do write to us again if you have more queries.
Avatar n tn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_reproduction A pregnancy is possible ONLY if semen is ejaculated or deposited into the vagina. The vagina IS NOT connected to the anus in any way, and serve completely different functions which I assume you know. Please educate yourselves fully and empower yourselves with knowledge about reproduction, birth control etc., before having sex so that you do not catch STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) or get into an unwanted pregnancy.
Avatar f tn There is weight gain and an imbalance of estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and insulin all of which work together to regulate our metabolism and appetite. Your gynecologist may prescribe you Clomiphene.It is an ovulation inducing drug. The pregnancy rate is about 15 per cent in patients with PCOD who are on Clomiphene, but success depends on the length of treatment and other factors, such as whether you are overweight. It varies woman to woman.
Avatar n tn I would really appreciate the knowledge because we have no support groups where we are and we are going on one and a half years since my husbands accident. And so far we have had to learn on our own and really don't know where to turn. My husband recently was also denied insurance so we have been doing all we can on our own. Thank you so much.
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 m tn The decrease in bioavailable testosterone can then result in declines in sexual function and muscle and red cell mass, and contribute to the loss of bone density.”22 3. Soy and fish oil keep estrogen and SHBG in check. Another Japanese study examined how the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA (found in high concentrations in fish) affected SHBG levels in men 43 to 88 years of age.
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 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?
Avatar m tn With all the results you have, I hate to ask, but could you just post your TSH Free T3 and Free T4 and include the reference ranges provided for each? Ranges vary fron lab to lab, that is why they are needed to see how you are with your thyroid, as far as Testosterone is concerned, it normally does not affect the thyroid levels.
Avatar f tn m really worried about it! And apparently causes permanent reproduction damage if not checked!!?
