View allAm a bit worried, I'm an 18-year-old with a vitamin D level of 12 and my doctor says I need to get the arachitol injection. I've heard it's really painful, and I'm honestly scared about getting it. Is there any way to make this less uncomfortable or maybe avoid the shot altogether?
Yes you have to take the injection,if you are really scared and you have no signs and symptoms of vitamin d deficiency you can opt for tablets as well like VIT D 60K weekly once and CALCIUM 500mg once daily

I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction and went to see a doctor about it. He recommended I get tests for testosterone, vitamin B12, prolactin, and FSH. My results came back, showing testosterone at 2 ngml, vitamin B12 at 182 pgml, FSH at 2.99 mIUml, and prolactin at 7.21 ngml. I'm scheduled to see him on Thursday, but I'm feeling really anxious and worried. Is a testosterone level of 2 ngml considered critically low when the normal range is 2.8 to 8? I'm a 29-year-old male, 178 cm tall, and weigh 95 kg. I used to smoke. Can you give me any advice on this?
stop smoking
