Hi Doctor, I recently had a blood test done and found that my androstenedione levels are low, and my other hormone levels are closer to the lower limit of normal. I have been experiencing several health issues including premature ejaculation, hair loss, weight gain, fatty liver, vitamin deficiencies, weakness, and infertility (low sperm count). Please advise me on what this could mean and what treatment options I should consider.

Low androstenedione and borderline hormones may explain symptoms like low energy, hair loss, premature ejaculation, weight gain, and infertility. These issues may relate to hormonal imbalance, metabolic slowdown, or nutrient deficiencies. Lifestyle changes, diet, and medical support can improve many of these problems over time. Please consider a thyroid profile done before reviewing with your doctor. Please consult an endocrinologist or fertility specialist for proper evaluation.

Question

Hello, I have had varicocele for many years and sometimes I thought of getting it corrected but I came to know about complications as well. I do not have pain or discomfort but it occurs only if I do intense workout, so I stopped that and started doing light workout. My main issue is reduced fertility as I do not feel as aroused as before varicocele. I do get nightfall once or twice in a week. Reduced fertility and mental disturbances bother me and I sometimes feel underconfident while speaking with someone. Please check my report and advise based on the report?

Question

In my semen analysis, my sperm count was nil. I have done a scrotum scan, which was normal. I have also done tests for LH, FSH, and testosterone. What is this issue called, and is it curable?

Question

I am a 35 year old man trying for a baby. I have been married for a year and tried for 2 to 3 months. My wife is 33 years old and has normal parameters for conceiving. My semen analysis report shows sperm count per ml is 32 million, total sperm per ejaculate is 128 million, rapid linear progression after half an hour is 20 percent and after 2 hours is 10 percent, and total abnormal spermatozoa is 66 percent. Kindly advise if this report is normal for my wife to conceive or should I start some medications?
