My father has had type 2 diabetes for 20 years and also had bypass surgery 8 years ago. He's currently on insulin but we found two ayurvedic tablets IME9 and BGR34 from Indian labs. Which one would be safer and more effective for his condition?

As a doctor, I would advise caution with IME9 and BGR34, as they are not well-studied in large clinical trials. Since your father has long-standing diabetes and a cardiac history, it's best to continue his current treatment and consult his physician before adding any supplements, as they may interact with existing medications.

The varicocele itself can sometimes cause or contribute to lower testosterone levels, even if the overall level is within the broad normal range. Since your urologist doesn't recommend surgery, here are some natural ways to potentially boost your testosterone levels and address your symptoms:

I'm a bit concerned because I recently had a treatment with FSH injections to help with conceiving. They told me only one egg developed in my right ovary, and none were growing in my left ovary. Does this mean my left ovary might be inactive, and follicles won't ever develop there? Is this something I should be worried about for the future, or is there a way to stimulate the left ovary to produce eggs too?
Eggs can grow on either ovary, but ovulation occurs more frequently from the right ovary than the lef
