Could Thyroid Level of 18.6 Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

I have a received a blood result of 18.6 for thyroid, could this be the cause of my ere tule dysfunction and inability to orgasm?

Answered on 3rd July '24

Hyperthyroidism (1) has an 18.6 hormonal imbalance which can lead to sexual dysfunction (ED) and limited sexual satisfaction. Such typical signals might be a lack of erection in the process of intercourse and a misguided desire to reach climax. The thyroid is among the body mechanisms that produce hormones the body needs to function well sexually. Treatment includes regulating thyroid levels with prescription drugs from a doctor.

I hv stop medicine sizomant suddenly after eating of 45 days and I noticed omitting, nausea, confusion, less concentration, irritating, running here and there, anxiety.. After that I went to another dr. He gave me toficalm 50, nexito ls , arip mt 2, trymptor 10... I feel fresh but no sleep at all...asleep all the time...3 days I had that tablet. Now in confusion whether to eat sizomant after 15 days or eat this 4 tablet

Female | 43

It looks like a sudden withdrawal of your medication resulted in several extremely uncomfortable problems such as vomiting, confusion, and anxiety. The new physician has prescribed a different set of drugs to you to alleviate the condition, but now you are having sleep issues. It is crucial to neither start nor stop drugs without consulting your doctor. You should give them a call and tell them how you feel.

I am 36 years old. I have TSH level of 3.6 microIU/mL. What should be the dose of my medicine. Currently I was prescribed with 50mcg.

Female | 36

If your TSH level tests positive with a figure of 3.6 microIU/mL, this is within limits but slightly on the higher side. Higher than normal TSH levels often come with symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and feeling cold when others are warm. In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms, alongside the fact that 50mcg is your current dose, it means that you may need to adjust it depending on what your body demands. You must always consult your doctor when there is a need to do so.

my sugar level is always high and feelign tired all the time , poor vision also. not taking medicine need consultation from doctor

Male | 41

Your body may be having trouble dealing with sugar properly. If sugar levels are too high, it can cause tiredness and trouble vision. These are diabetic signs. You should get checked by a medical professional. They will suggest dietary options and probably a medication to control your sugar levels and make you feel better.

Why am I loosing weight even though I eat a lot? Other times I take appetite stimulants and after I gain weight, I loose it within a week or two. Is this normal? Because I actually eat a lot

Female | 27

People associate eating more and suffering from weight loss with potential problems. Some reasons include a fast metabolism, thyroid issues, diabetes, or stress. People who consume appetite-causing agents may appear to temporarily gain weight; however, a quick reduction in body mass could indicate a possible underlying cause. In response to this, continue to consume a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get checked by a medical professional.

Hi, i am a 30 year old male. i have panhypopituarism. have 4 hormone defieciencies such as growth hormone, hydrocortisone, thryoxin and testosterone. i got treated for other 3 hormones except testosterone and those are fine now . i went to 170cm height from 110 cm. after the HGH replacement. and for other two i am taking those as tablets. Now the issue is i started taking testosterone replacement as well for last 6 months. I got genital hair some strength in my body and my penile length increased. can get semen out from fapping. but the issue is testes havent dropped or descended. my flaccid penis is too small like a toddler. when erected its 6 inches. will it get ok by the time ? or any serious concerns

Male | 30

Your hormone­ therapies' progress is wonde­rful. Changes often require­ patience, so don't fret. Continue­d testosterone tre­atment may aid your underdeve­loped testes and small flaccid pe­nis symptoms. However, consulting your doctor about concerns e­nsures proper progress tracking.

I am 29 year old male and recently tested my testosterone level. It is 2.03 ng/ml. So i want to ask..is this is normal?

Male | 29

Typically, this hormone sits within the range of 2.5 to 10 ng/ml in men. A level lower than 2.03 ng/ml might indicate you have an issue. That's not too far below average. Having low T can cause symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and mood swings among others. Many things can lead to it happening including stress obesity or certain medical conditions. I recommend talking with your doctor about what these results mean for you and what steps can be taken toward balancing them out.

Hi doctor, my daughter is 2year and 4month old, today morning she took my thyroid medicine bottle, when i saw her she was holding the bottle, but i am not sure that she had the tablet or swallow, i am so worried, as of now i don't notice any changes for her, what i will do, is there any side effects or reaction will happen inside the body.

Female | 2

You need to bear in mind that if she hasn't swallowed any of your pills, there may be side effects involved. Track the following symptoms: Stomach Ace, nausea or vomiting, and feeling shaky. If you find any of these, get help from a doctor or poison control center immediately for first advice.

My sugar level is 444 what to do

Male | 30

Having a sugar level of 444 is dangerous as it is extremely high. It may make you feel thirsty, and tired, and go to the bathroom too frequently. High sugar levels generally occur in diabetics. To reduce the number, you should react promptly. Drink water, consume sugar at a slower pace, and take the medicine as indicated by the doctor.

I was wondering if having sugar levels at 109 is high or low

Female | 17

Having sugar levels at 109 is neither too high nor too low. This is normal. You may not have any symptoms at this level. 109 is a healthy range, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. Eating healthy foods and doing exercise regularly can help you to maintain this level. If your sugar levels go too high or too low, you might feel tired, thirsty, or shaky.

Male | 37

Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels fall below normal, which can cause symptoms like trembling, sweating, hunger, or dizziness. This often happens due to missing meals or not eating enough. To prevent hypoglycemia, aim to eat regular, balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. If you have concerns, consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and advice.

Thyroid high hone se kya bimri ho jati hai

Male | 17

The thyroid gland cre­ates hormones. Too many hormones me­an hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, fe­el anxious, have a fast heartbe­at, or sweat excessive­ly. Graves' disease cause­s hyperthyroidism. Medications lower thyroid hormone­ levels. In seve­re cases, surgery re­moves part of the thyroid. If you suspect hype­rthyroidism, consult your doctor immediately. They can e­valuate symptoms and prescribe tre­atment.

I am 20 y.o and experiencing hypogonadism symptoms, yet my bloodwork is completely fine. I tested Testosterone total, testosterone free, TSH, LH, FSH, prolactin, estrogen - everything was within ranges. Still though, symptoms are real: erectile dysfunction, low libido, delayed puberty (no genital growth at all, voice is still too high for a man, facial hair is kinda scarce, pubic hair is dark, but chest hair is nonexistent). Ultrasound showed, that my testicles are around 6.5 ml in volume. What could it be, if not hypogonadism? What else would you suggest testing? I'm going to redo my bloodwork in September

Male | 20

With these symptoms, it seems you are battling the hard times. I would like to recommend checking your adrenal glands and thyroid function, which, if imbalances are found, could cause symptoms similar to the one you are having. Besides, a Klinefelter syndrome genetic test may be worth considering. This syndrome is one that men have which comes from the addition of an X chromosome. It is very positive that you are taking the initiative to have your blood work repeated. That's why we can rule out other potential causes of your symptoms.

Hello sir, myself Ranjit Yadav and my age is 19 years height growth was stop from 2yrs i was at same height 5.0 and i want increase my height, Someone suggested me to take height growth hormone (hgh) so this my question is that good to take and from where i get ?

Male | 19

It is expected that the height growth will stop changing around age 16-18. Growth hormones are unsafe to take without the doctor's advice. Height is the consequence of genes. Healthy nourishment, sufficient sleep, and physical activity can support you to grow to your highest potential. If you have any concerns, it is most appropriate to consult with a doctor who can provide you with the right advice.

Female | 29

Your symptoms are likely caused by Cushing's syndrome. This results from your body's overproduction of cortisol. This may include weight gain, lethargy, and mood swings. A doctor should be consulted to receive a diagnosis through tests. Typically, a doctor either gives you medication or does surgery to decrease the cortisol levels for the treatment.
