Hi, I'm 43 yr old male. I had full blood test 3 years ago and found low testosterone (2.6, which is just below the reference range). My sports medicine doctor had prescribed testosterone replacement to gain muscle - very low dose twice a week - which I did for 1 year. I found a little improvement. However, I have found that my sex drive has significantly diminished over past 3 yrs. I just did my blood test again and found the same testosterone level (~2.6). I also have very low energy levels. My blood work also showed slightly anemic conditions (just below reference range). Everything else was normal. My doctor has given me similar testosterone (testogel) therapy again, but I'm hesitant to use it. I have 2 questions: 1. Is there anything I can do to naturally improve testosterone levels - supplements, diet, exercise, alternative medicine, etc. Any ayurvedic medicines that might help? What are reasons for reduced testosterone? I also have same question about hemoglobin (how I can improve naturally), but understand this might be out of your area of expertise. (2) What are side effects of testosterone therapy? I have small prostate (<16cc), so am not at high risk. Any other risks? I understand one side effect is reduction of the testes size- does that mean libido, energy level, vitality will drop more than baseline when I stop testosterone treatment? What can I do to offset side effects of testosterone therapy? Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the long- questions.

My wife was on birth control for about 15 to 20 years. She got pregnant a little over 6 years ago and stopped taking birth control and shortly after she had the baby she had her tubes tied. But ever since she has been off of the birth control she has been in bad depression and anxiety attacts. Always scared of having some kind of cancer. At one time she thought she found a bump on the side of her chest and rubbed on it so hard and Long she bruised it badly. I took her to the doctor and they done some tests they scheduled her to come in and get a biopsie, so in the mean time I some how got her to quit rubbing it and when she came back in they couldn't find it. Anyway it is always something. I really think it has to do with being off the birth control, I think it messed up her hormones. Should she get back on the birth control or what?

My cousin (17 years old) felt the pain of appendicitis and he was taken to the hospital although the pain was not that severe. Doctor diagnosed appendicitis and preferred an operation after 6 weeks. He was brought back home. Another doctor said that the inflammation is at initial stage and could be treated with medicines. My cousins's grandmother also got appendicitis and had more severe pain but the same doctor treated her with medicines and up till now, its been 12-13 years, she does not feel any kind of pain or complications. Same is the case with our another relative of the same family. CAN MEDICINES REALLY CURE IT IF IT IS IN STARTING STAGE??? PLEASE REPLY ME SOON. THANKYOU :) WAITING....
