Partnership: The best treatment relationships are partnerships between patients and their physicians. Your physician has much training and experience that can be useful to you in assessing your health and recommending treatments. Ideally, you & your doctor are discussing options -- and you're able to have your questions answered. If uncomfortable with treatment recommendations, you can seek a second opinion.

Question 4

my doc prescribed cormid for my low t, any advice ?

Accepted Answer

Clomid (clomiphene) works for low: Clomid (clomiphene) works for low testosterone in men. It works because it makes the male brain think you are very low on estrogen. Since men need some estrogen, and men don't have ovaries to make estrogen, the brain sends a signal to the testicles to make more testosterone and tries to convert some testosterone to estrogen later. Beware, daily Clomid (clomiphene) will quickly stop working. Every other day is better.

Slowly, gradually...: I don't know your dose or how you've been taking it; but tapering should be done by lowering by very small increments very slowly.  Best thing would be to be discussing this with the dr who has prescribed it for you.

Question 8

hi, doctor i want healthy  body please tell me advice about health?

Accepted Answer

I'm so glad you are: interested! A lot of what makes for good health has already been determined by your parents: genetics! But a tremendous amount is in your hands. First, develop a daily habit of exercise...moving more. Put a healthy combination of foods in your body, mostly fruits and vegetables. Be safe in your personal behavior. Embrace relationships that nurture you. Pursue what gives your life meaning. Be well!

Question 10

i need doctor's advice on dealing with the emptiness from a dogs death?

Accepted Answer

Decide what it means: Only you can decide what the death of your pet means. You may decide, "Remember the good times", find a religious answer, think about how much better your dog's life was than the lives of most other dogs, find you answer in gratitude, or some other. If it is right, get another dog. It will not replace your past friend, but it will help. And perhaps a human love will enter your life.
