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 f tn How is your estrogen and your DHEA-S? When your doc tests your testosterone, does he test bio-available testosterone, and does the doc test sex binding hormones, LH, FSH, to get the entire pic of your androgens and how your body is using the testosterone? Estrogen and testosterone and very very closely related - so it could be that your testosterone is simply converting over to estrogen instead of staying as testosterone. This cannot be controlled really - it just happens.

Avatar m tn I went through puberty with more estrogen than testosterone. I am on testosterone injection but it does not solve my ED issue. I am thinking of injections as Viagra does not work any more..
Avatar m tn It might be better if it prevented pregnancy than if it caused birth defects in an existing pregnancy, which the literature suggests it can do. Here is from another website: "Testosterone gel can cause side effects in women and children who come in contact with it on the man's skin or clothing. Children may develop aggressive behavior, enlarged genitals, and pubic hair. Women may develop unwanted hair growth or acne.
Avatar m tn ve recently started taking more supplements (and drinking lots of water), I actually take a lot but i make sure im not going to overdose or take too much of anything.

1713674 tn?1308576562 They deal with it by being supportive of their wife. If the woman is uncomfortable having sex after menopause and doesn't want to at that time, then they don't push her for it. Men also lose much of their sex drive as they age and testosterone decreases, so typically there isn't a huge difference in sex drives between the couple. If it becomes a big problem, then he should talk to his wife and express his concerns in a respectful manner.

Avatar f tn Long term pain management with opiates cause sexual dysfunction of 50% of all patients, both men and women. It causes testosterone deficiencies in both men and women, which is called hypogonadism. Docs are supposed to monitor testosterone levels, but seldom do because the topic just doesn't come up in the Doctors office. It's not just men that need to worry either, in fact it's of critical importance to women. Check it out, there's a lot more to read: pain-topics.
110491 tn?1274481937 Testosterone is made by the ovaries as well as with the help of the adrenal glands. In women without ovaries, all testosterone and estrogen requires the precursor androstenedione; this precursor is synthesized by the adrenal cortex. This is why even post-menopausal women have some estrogen and testosterone. I don't have much of the first one and none of the other.
Avatar f tn The multivitamin is a minimal supplement that pregnant women need in addition to their well balanced diet to fulfill the baby's nutritional needs. As a nurse, I have only seen vitamin overdoses in people that have literally taken a whole bottle of vitamins in one day. You should be safe, but contact your doctor if you are concerned or if you have underlying medical conditions that cause imbalances or absorption problems.
Avatar m tn The question about what kind of organic volatile compound can trigger allergic reaction on people but still produced in the body, has been asked so many times and used as a mockery against PATM. But do we really know of anything like that in real life? Any examples of this happening in real life? YES! It appears that some sex hormones do the same thing as the unknown compound for PATM. On the link below are real scientifically tested pheromones that works. It increases people’s sex appeal.
Avatar m tn In most cases when we think of hot flashes, we think about women. But believe or not men can also get hot flashes. Although not as common as women does, and also not by the same causes. When men passes the age of 40, the testosterone only goes down by 1 percent. In many of the cases if a guy often has often hot flashes. Its often lower mens testosterone will often help men cure prostata cancer. But since you already mentioned that your dad dont have any cancer treatment.
Avatar f tn Libido in both men and women is related closely to the level of testosterone in the blood (yes women have testosterone produced largely by the adrenal glands and men have so-called female hormones in their system). Testosterone level in the blood can be increased by a number of medications (androgel applied to the skin of the stomach, shots in the buttocks, etc.) all of which require a doctor's prescription.
Avatar m tn Hi folks, Back the December-early February timeframe I had two unprotected exposures with two different women. One of the women seemed to be clean and said she didn't have anything, the other claimed to have been with a lot of people and had an ex that was a drug user (I'm not sure if it was IV-drugs). In any event, the past two or so weeks have been absolute hell.
Avatar n tn I know it has been a long time since your post, but I wanted to comment in case you are still having trouble. I have been going through a very similar situation and recently came across some information about chronic blepharitis and low testosterone levels. (Yes, even women need a certain level of testosterone.) It would make sense in your case that the pregnancy/difficult labor could worsen hormone imbalance, as could other stressful situations.
1369218 tn?1282423884 I am seeing a new endo in a few weeks. I am low in progesterone, but was told it can cause testosterone to rise if you take supplements. I already have the hair growth thing going on too. My testosterone is elevated at times and normal other times. My periods are doing better since eating gluten free though. I was clotting so bad a few months ago I became anemic. I just feel like a big ball of a mess. I cannot seem to get it all to work right anymore. I used to be able to lose weight.
Avatar m tn Hello, There is nothing wrong with the size of your erect penis and it is absolutely normal. the average erect human penis is approximately 12.9–15 cm (5.1–5.9 in) in length and your parameters are completely within the normal limits. You need not take any testosterone for increasing penis length as it is not without side effects. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn High testosterone levels in women are often caused by PCOS (Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome). This is a benign condition which results in irregular or missed periods, excessive hair growth on the face and body and so on. Extremely high testosterone levels can also be caused by androgen-secreting tumors, located in adrenal glands. These are usually benign but in rare cases may also be malignant. Please keep us updated! Best of luck, E.B.
