  1. Menstruation: Men do not have periods because menstruation is specific to individuals with a uterus, typically women and some transgender men or non-binary people.

  2. Biological Process: Menstruation involves shedding the uterine lining when pregnancy does not occur. Men do not have a uterus, so they do not experience this process.

  3. Hormonal Changes: Men can experience hormonal changes and symptoms related to other health conditions, but these are not the same as periods.

I've been seeing doctors for my thyroid and cervical spondylitis issues, and during my recent visits, they found my lipid levels are off - my triglycerides are high at 200, my HDL is low, and my LDL is high. The endocrinologist recommended some diet and exercise changes, and the neuro physician prescribed STORVAS 10 mg to help control my lipid levels alongside my spondylitis meds. However, when I visited a gastroenterologist for a routine check-up, they told me not to start any cholesterol meds since Id need to take them for life. I feel stuck and unsure about what to do. Could you help me figure out whether I should start the meds or not?

I'm looking for a doctor who can help me with the complications I've been facing due to using anabolic steroids. I also need guidance on how to manage things during and after my steroid cycles. Can someone with experience in these areas provide some advice? I'm really quite concerned about this and just want to make sure I'm handling everything properly.

Find a Specialist: You can search for these specialists through referrals, health networks, or direct consultations at your local hospital or private clinics. Test Your Health: Make sure you get baseline tests done before starting or after finishing a cycle, such as hormone panels, liver and kidney function tests, and cardiovascular screenings. Regular Follow-Ups: If you have already been on steroids for some time, regular follow-ups with these specialists are critical to prevent long-term complications.

I've just turned 19, and I'm a girl who weighs only around 36-40 kgs. It feels like no matter how much I eat or how properly I do it, my weight just doesn't seem to go up. It's getting really frustrating because I'm looking really slim and can't figure out why. Could there be something else going on that I should be worried about?
