Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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 2

Im really worried because I can feel my heart rate is really high and fast, even when I'm just resting. Its been at 94-95 bpm since this afternoon, and I'm not sure why. I have hypothyroidism and Im on 25 mcg of thyronorm. Could that be affecting my heart rate? I'm kinda scared. Any advice would really help.

Accepted Answer

Given the situation, it's essential to take precautions.

Consult a doctor immediately, as cat scratchesbites can transmit rabies and tetanus.

Even without visible wounds or symptoms, it's crucial to consider post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies.

Tetanus injection is recommended, especially since your last booster was in 2016.

Antirabies injection might be necessary, depending on the doctor's assessment.

Don't delay; seek attention within 24-48 hours.

Question 3

Is one of the symptoms of diabetes an itchy back?

Accepted Answer

Itchy skin can be a sign of diabetes especially if other symptoms are also present and blood sugar levels are elevated from prolonged time.

I did my IUI on December 25th, 2020, and I'm currently taking Duphaston. Today I'm feeling some abdominal cramping, kind of like period cramps. What should I do?

Abdominal cramping is a common finding in patients who are taking duphaston. It is however advisable to consult your gynecologist for further evaluation.
