Selenium Questions

I would like to have a better health supplements for my eye as I do observe some power loss while working 24/7 at Laptops. I have read at some health related websites for some essential supplements that required for better vision and healthier eye. They are, Vitamin C, 250 mg Vitamin E, 200 mg Beta-carotene, 5,000 IU Zinc, 25 mg Zeaxanthin, 500 mcg Selenium, 100 mcg Lutein, 10 mg Calcium, 500 mg Thiamin, 2 mg Folic acid, 800 mcg Omega-3 essential fatty acids (includingflaxseed oil), 2,000-3,000 mgN- acetyl cysteine, 100 mg Alpha lipoic acid, 100 mg Would you please suggest a tab that contains the above or a better tab that suits. If I do go for clinics they are trying to sell a spectacle rather than suggesting a tab and I am not willing to wear specs. Thanks in advance Regards,

Working on laptops will not change your eye power. It is true that it leads to dryness of the eyes which can result in redness, burning, watering and sometimes blurring of vision which can cause eye pain or headache. For dryness (also known as computer vision syndrom) you have to blink frequently and to relax every 20 minutes looking at 20 feet distance for 20 secs (20-20-20 rule. And lubricant eye drops. For eye power you have to glasses or contact lenses if you want to avoid glasses. But no tablet can improve eyesight.

I have male pattern baldness and it's hereditary. Lost about 40-50% of hair already, reduced hairline as well as overall thickness. I had tried minoxidil and took 2 prp sessions but had no results. I want to try the finasteride or any other effective methods. please suggest Finasteride tablet and any other methods or tablets like multi vitamin which will be helpful. I also have Seborrheic dermatitis since 4-5 years and I use a shampoo with selenium sulfide, which suppresses temporarily. Isn't there a permanent cure for this? I have very oily scalp and due to this shampoo my rest of the hair is dry and brizzy.

My eyes blink faster than normal, and it’s difficult to concentrate on anything, a year ago the confusion got worse, that I could’t do anything reasonably, I took (Swiss natural Total one multivitamin and mineral) with selenium, and the confusion reduces but now I am mentally lazy and can’t do anything. I tried using nootropics, I tried 1. (75 mg triacetyluridine, 500 mg Aniracetam, 75 mg CDP choline, 350 mg ALCAR, 100 mg Caffeine, 300 mg l-thiamine.

Dear Lybrate user, At your age, Memory problems like amnesia are not common. Many young people are having problems with memory. These problems are either they are too busy or due to anxiety and stress. Busy people use organizers or employ a personal assistant because they can't remember every task. You need to understand this. If you still say, you are having memory problems, we need to check your memory using memory test. If you want more of my help in this regard, please contact me. Take care.

Hi, i'm a 27 old male, I have red itchy (rash) spot on my chest also inside and around my ears, when I scratch it some white flakes appear. First it was a small dot on my chest then it grew larger everyday. When I apply hydracort 0.5% (hydrocortisone) cream on the rash disappears but as soon as I stop applying it, it resurfaces again. Also hair dandruff and hair fall appeared in the same time as this rash. My scalp became so itchy only when use a specific shampoo which has selenium sulfide, the dandruff and itchiness eases. Please look into my issue and help me diagnose my problem. Thank you.

Hydrocortisone is a steroid and should be used with caution and only under medical supervision. I will suggest you one hair oil - mahabhringaraj hair oil should help you.

Hi doctors, I am unable to last long on the bed with my partner during intercourse. I do give my partner proper foreplay but when she gets aroused completely, and I try to insert, even after one or two strokes, I ejaculate. That becomes too embarrassing since my partner is on high and about to reach to climax, but I don't last long. I am suggested by one of my friend, following homoeopathic medicines to last long on the bed, are these correct and can be taken and don't carry any side effects? Damiaplant drops / 2 times acid phos 30/ 2 times selenium 30/2 times for 1 month do let me know side effects of it, if any as well as share some your medicines considering my situation / issues which don't have any bad side effects on my sexual life. Please guide.

Dear lybrate-user, this is normal to have fluid discharged from urethra as due to your young age to get sexually aroused at subconscious level. Please donot take treatment as it is normal to have this. Some people have tendency to pass more fluid and some less. Regards.
