Question 1

my nipples look puffy most of the time but when I take cold showers they appear normal my testosterone levels are fine and I really don't want surgery is there anything else I can do about this

Accepted Answer

Puffy nipples, especially if they fluctuate with temperature changes and you've ruled out underlying conditions like gynecomastia, are likely related to hormonal fluctuations or temperature sensitivity. If you don't want surgery, you can try lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, targeted exercise, and stress reduction to see if they help minimize puffiness

Question 2

So, I've been advised to take a B12 injection weekly for six weeks and then once a month for the next six months. I'm just wondering, is there a specific time of day that's best to get these injections? Also, I'm currently taking Zitten 20mg in the morning for diabetes and Razel 5mg at night. Should I be concerned about any side effects or interactions with these medications?

Masturbation Frequency and Infertility_

Masturbating 2-3 times a day is considered a normal and healthy frequency. Research suggests that masturbation has no direct link to infertility.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) states that "masturbation does not affect fertility."

_Sperm Count and Semen Analysis_

If you're concerned about your fertility, consider consulting a urologist or an andrologist for a semen analysis. This test evaluates:

1. Sperm count (concentration)
2. Sperm motility (movement)
3. Sperm morphology (shape)
4. Semen volume
5. pH levels

A semen analysis can help identify potential issues, but it's essential to note that:

- Sperm count can fluctuate due to various factors, such as stress, temperature, and frequency of ejaculation.
- A single semen analysis may not provide a complete picture of your fertility.

To ensure accurate results, follow these guidelines:

1. Abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days before the test.
2. Provide a fresh semen sample.
3. Repeat the test after 2-3 months to confirm results.

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried about my thyroid levels. I had a TSH level of 23, but my free T3 and T4 were normal. So, I decided to try the B56 homeopathy drops. At around the fourth month, my TSH improved to 8.4, but after finishing eight months, it's back up to 23. I'm just wondering why it would increase again and if maybe I should consider a different treatment?
