Menstruation: Men do not have periods because menstruation is specific to individuals with a uterus, typically women and some transgender men or non-binary people.
Biological Process: Menstruation involves shedding the uterine lining when pregnancy does not occur. Men do not have a uterus, so they do not experience this process.
Hormonal Changes: Men can experience hormonal changes and symptoms related to other health conditions, but these are not the same as periods.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my mom who is 52. Her name is Gayatri Singh. She has blood pressure but isn't diabetic. The doctor said her blood pressure is normal, but when we did a fasting sugar test at home, it was 162. What does this mean? Could it be that she might have diabetes? I would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Question

Am I considered diabetic if my fasting sugar levels range from 105 to 116? Im a bit concerned because my postprandial sugar is always normal. Should I be taking any precautions, and is it possible to manage this without medication?

Question

I've been really puzzled and a bit worried. I had an IUI on the 16th of March and got an HCG trigger shot of 10,000 units on the night of the 14th. But then, a few days later, I decided to take a home pregnancy test and got a negative result. I even tested multiple times and still got negatives. How could this be happening?
