After medical review of this for the past 5 years.
---- To rule out cardiovascular disease, for ED is known to be a precursor.
---- Tests showing normal testosterone levels
After my husband's decline in interest intimately for three years preceding that five years.
After venomous denial regarding that the ED was the result of
---- Aging issues, medication (finasteride & HBP meds)
And much emotional hardship, as my husband wanted to truly believe his libido loss was due to one or all of the following:
---- Falling out of love
---- Being in a monogamous relationship
---- Something which his spouse did or didn't do, that he could not quite put his finger on.
Currently, spouse is considering going off finasteride (as a dr suggested) and trying natural remedies for enlarged prostate which includes:
---- Eventually stopping Finasteride (He has to be the one to stop)
---- Taking the following supplements:
Saw Palmetto Extract, Pygeum Extract, Nettles, Pumpkin Seed, Lycopene, zinc
I've just started him on zinc, Pumpkin seed & Lycopene, and will add the Saw Palmetto, Pygeum & Nettle combo soon.
I also plan to put him on L-Arginine which is suppose to assist with erections.
I have scanned the internet and do not see interaction of any of the above sups with that medication, and am tempted to put him on those for a month prior to him consenting to wean off of the Finasteride.
Does this seem a wise course of action, and have any of you gentlemen been on that medication while taking such herbal sups & vites?
Furthermore, have any of you run into other combinations that helped?
My spouse gives up easily, and I want this trial that he has consented to, to have the greatest chance of success possible.
What opened the door to this consenting to try was an 8 year support and sensual support without any demand or expectation from him. I didn't want to shut the door completely on intimacy, so despite insults and hostility, I stayed sensual, supportive and calm.... as I watched out for his physical and emotional health. I Provided massage, tantric touch which included prostate massage, encouragement and the occasional reminder that his erection could still work (when he let me to provide that). **** Ladies, if you can't get his ok, the massage will make him less guarded and then you may have access to provide that sexual release and confirmation he can still orgasm... Massage is great like that.
It's been a very long 8 years. Maybe other people have clearer vision at this point than myself, for I am in an emotional healing recover myself at this point as I continue to offer him support.

My nearly 3 year old daughter has caught this virus and we found out todday.
She has chicken pox like spots on her hands, feet, legs, arms and bottom.
Her tongue has large blisters and looks very painful.
We are giving her Calpol and Calprofen but it doesn't seem to help for too long.
She wont eat much. The best results we have had so far are from Sushi which she keeps going back to. I will try the chicken soup in the morning because i am worried that she hasn't eaten much....
Her sleep patterns are very poor and now looking back she has been up for the last 2 to 3 nights a couple of times. Normally she is a good sleeper and will sleep from 7-8pm till 5-6am but now she is awake and crying and it is 9:20 pm

I have an open wound and I have been to the doctors to get it packed and dressed by the nurse. They are closed on the weekend so she told me to change the dressing myself when it needed changed but to make sure the packing stays in. I changed it this morning and the packing slid out! And some of it is still stuck in the wound at the bottom. I'm worried that the wound will close over with the remains of the packing still in it and that the wound will be closing over instead from the inside first. Any advice would be Helpful as I my next appointment with the nurse isn't until Tuesday morning!

So yesterday my boyfriend and I were messing around a bit. I still had my undergarments on, and he was grinding against me (his penis was out). He didn't climax, but my panties kept snagging and I think he might've accidentally penetrated me a bit. I've never had sex though, so I have no idea whether he did or not. Would I have definitely been able to tell? Also he hadn't ejaculated in awhile, so his pre-ejaculation fluid couldn't have had any sperm, right? (I'm not even sure that there was any pre-ejaculation fluid.)
I know the likelihood is not high at all, I'm just scared. I'm really young and I can't talk to my parents about this without my life turning upside down. Is there any chance at all of me getting pregnant? Should I scrape together money for a morning-after pill?

Is there a difference between disc displacement and dislocation? I see those terms being used around here a lot and was wondering if one indicates whether a disc could be recaptured and whether a disc is not reducing?

I have a “beer belly”. My wife is teasing me and so do my friends. Sedentary lifestyle and too many beers did their part. I want to lose fat, especially my beer belly. What do you think about shaping stomach by swimming? Can I lose my belly by swimming? I don’t want to get smaller anywhere except in the stomach region.

About a month ago I noticed I had a sore on my left buttox and I picked at it and it turned into an open sore. I went to the doctor and was prescribed the antibiotic keflex. It started to heal a little bit but after 7 days the medicine ran out. It is now an open sore that is always oozing liquid. It won't heal and it's very painful. What do I do?

My 5 year-old son has been taking adderall for four months now and I can’t stand to watch him suffer this much. We haven’t noticed any changes in his problem but I noticed some really bad behavioral problems that occurred when he started taking this drug. He would just get angry suddenly with no reason at all, he would go around the house slamming doors and this is just not the way a five year old should behave or suffer. I don’t know what to do? Look for another treatment or….? Is there anybody who could relate to this problem?
