Hello, sir/mam hope you all are doing fine, I am 26 years old with a lot of belly fat around waist area and no full beard and don't feel that much manly like I should be at my age. So I got my testosterone checked and here are my results:- testosterone total (clia)- 2.5 ng/ml (chemiluminescence) testosterone free- 10.35 pg/ml clia and my doctor told me that levels are fine but I don't feel fine, bcs I guess levels may be in normal division but for my age levels are not upto mark. As after 30 level tends to decrease. And to be honest I totally agree with my doc that levels are normal. But thing is I am facing problems. I feel that I haven't transformed into full man. After 16. Kindly help me out. And following was also written at the end of my report:- clinical use to assess androgen status in male hypogonadism increased levels * androgen resistance * cushing's disease * congenital adrenal hyperplasia decreased levels * hypogonadism * p450c17 enzyme deficiency.

Hello- Your T levels are on the lower end. A low testosterone level can affect both your quality of life and your health. It can cause fatigue, erectile dysfunction, depression and other emotional issues, insomnia, poor concentration, decreased bone density, and increase in body fat. In case the test shows low testosterone level and you experience the signs and symptoms for the same, don't worry. Ayurvedic aphrodisiac herbs and some simple lifestyle and dietary changes can help boost your testosterone level naturally.

The only way to link the cough and cold to the defects in the baby is to prove that it was due to rubella infection. You can go for torch igg and igm tests. Usually it also causes a rash starting behind the ears with swelling of glands in the neck. If you remember having those then you must do the test. Otherwise some chromosomal errors can also cause major heart defects in the baby. Fortunately, they are rare and not repeated. In next pregnancy you have to avoid drugs, food additives, toxic fumes and others smoking in the same room. Take folic acid regularly even before you conceive.

Yes you can but may be some problems come or may not be. If problems come, it may be treated well by Ayurved. However if you take preventive Ayurvedic measures like Aartav shuddhi and use of phal ghritam etc for some time, you enhance chances to conceive.

I have a 20 to 25 degree congenital penile curvature to left, is it normal or does it affect my sex life?

There is large variation in the angle of an erect penis. Some erect penises point straight up, others straight down. Some have a slight bend to the left or right. There is no right shape. So don't worry.
