View allI'm really thinking about those testosterone tablets I saw from well-known brands like Cipla. Here's the thing, I'm dealing with obesity and my height's not ideal, plus I've been having some ED issues. It's tempting to think these pills could turn things around for me, you know, make me stronger with great muscles and increase my sex drive. I've never tried any self-medication before, but the idea of these tablets got me really curious. Do you think they could turn me into a 'superman'? What's the actual purpose of these pills? Could they help my health, or might they just make things worse? I really want to understand what these are all about before I do something potentially harmful. Could you shed some light on this for me?
strongly advise against self-medicating with testosterone tablets, as they can have serious health consequences, particularly for someone with obesity and ED; testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) should only be prescribed by a doctor for medically diagnosed hypogonadism, and not for athletic enhancement or bodybuilding; misusing testosterone can lead to adverse effects like prostate issues, blood clots, liver damage, acne, and mood changes; instead, focus on healthy lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, exercise, and stress management, which can help improve overall health, ED, and testosterone levels naturally.

Is there any truth to the idea that growing or shaving a beard can affect height at around 15.7 years old? Also, what exactly is the age of puberty? I'm a bit curious and confused about how these things are related.
Growing a beard at the age of 15.7 does not directly affect your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which usually close around the age of 18 to 21. Puberty typically starts between ages 10 and 14 for girls and 12 to 16 for boys, during which growth and physical changes occur.

I'm trying to understand the best sperm count and motility needed for a successful IUI. My husband's count is only 3 million and his motility is 20 before washing, but it goes up to 40 after. Is this considered good for IUI? We've already tried four times, so I'm wondering if there's still a chance for success on the fifth try.
For IUI success, optimal semen parameters are: count > 10 million, motility > 32%, and post-wash motility > 40%; your husband's count is low, but motility is adequate after washing, and while chances are lower, you may still consider a 5th IUI attempt.
