It is not recommended to consume medications that have changed in smell, as it may affect their effectiveness. It is best to dispose of them properly and consult with a pharmacist for a replacement.

I just had my company's annual fitness test, and it turns out my SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin levels are high. I don't have any symptoms, which is confusing. I've attached all my reports for you to see. Could you tell me what's going on and how I can bring those levels down?

Yes, sperm donation is a real thing and a vital option for individuals and couples struggling with infertility. It's not as simple as blood donation, as it involves a rigorous screening process, including medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations. To donate sperm, you can visit a fertility clinic, sperm bank, or reproductive medicine center. Some well-known sperm banks include Cryos International, European Sperm Bank, and California Cryobank.
