1. **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. 2. **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. 3. **Hormonal Changes**: Men can experience hormonal changes and symptoms related to other health conditions, but these are not the same as periods.

I've been seeing doctors for my thyroid and cervical spondylitis issues, and during my recent visits, they found my lipid levels are off - my triglycerides are high at 200, my HDL is low, and my LDL is high. The endocrinologist recommended some diet and exercise changes, and the neuro physician prescribed STORVAS 10 mg to help control my lipid levels alongside my spondylitis meds. However, when I visited a gastroenterologist for a routine check-up, they told me not to start any cholesterol meds since Id need to take them for life. I feel stuck and unsure about what to do. Could you help me figure out whether I should start the meds or not?

Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..

I recently did a sugar test and my fasting level was 92, not sure if that's okay. After eating, it was 150. I have a family history of sugar problems, so should I be concerned about these numbers and think about seeing a doctor?

Based on your results, a fasting sugar of 92 mgdL is within the normal range, but a post-meal reading of 150 mgdL could indicate prediabetes or early signs of insulin resistance. Given your family history of diabetes, I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss preventive measures.
