I masturbate regularly and found my erections less hard nowadays. What to do?
Hello doctor,
I am 40 years old. My sexual life was good but due to hysterotomy performed on my wife due to fetus complication, I am not able to have sex with her till date. In the event of this, I have been masturbating three to four times a week to relieve my urge for sexual excitement. However, lately, I have noticed that while masturbating my erections are not that rock hard like a couple of months back and even the force by which I used to ejaculate has drastically reduced and my sperm does not come out in force but just dribbles out of my penis on orgasm. I have no sort of medical problem or diseases and lead a normal diet without any medicines. My wife's gynecologist had once prescribed CoQ LC and Fertisure M medicines for me. However, I need your advice as to which medicines I should take and the dosage to overcome my problem and even get ready to make my wife conceive naturally.

Is it advisable to do yoga after sex to conceive?
Hi doctor,
I am 31 years old. Last month I had periods on 10th and then we had sex on 22, 23, 25 as those were the fertile days. Also I am doing yoga from past 1 month. This my date was supposed to come before 10 as I normally get period before date. But got my periods today on 14th. Is it because I am doing yoga so I got my periods and failed to conceive? As initially in this month I was having frequent urination, sore breast symptoms but sadly I failed to conceive. Can you suggest shall I continue yoga and is it advisable to do yoga after having sex? Current medications: Folvite and Neurobion forte.

I get profuse bleeding during my periods for the past three months. What should I do now?
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old female. I weigh about 191 lbs. I am a mother of a 2-year-old kid and still breastfeeding. No history of PCOD and my periods are regular with a cycle of 28 days. I conceived after three years of marriage life. I had a natural delivery in 2018 and got my regular periods back in March 2019. My period PMS symptoms include bloating, mood swings, and temperaments. Now my problem is for the past three months my periods are super heavy. I am using 10-11 pads per day for the first three days and normal to less in the next three days. This makes me drained and weak. I am unable to sleep properly and cannot do anything. It also leads to bad stomach cramping. Today is my second day of menses and yesterday, I fainted as well. What to do?

My estradiol level is low. Will taking DHEA help in increasing the same?
Hello doctor,
I had a miscarriage two months ago resulting in a D and C at 10 weeks.I am now pregnant (4 weeks and 3 days) and taking 400 mg Progesterone suppositories once per day due to low progesterone levels both in the last pregnancy and in the weeks leading up to the confirmation of this pregnancy. However, my doctor has told me that my estradiol is very low, and that is concerning me. My results so far:
14 DPO
hCG 69 U/L
Progesterone 77 nmol/L
Estradiol 220 pmol/L.
Two days later:
16DPO (yesterday),
hCG 129 U/L,
Progesterone 75 nmol/L,
Estradiol 239 pmol/L.
Is my pregnancy doomed because of my very low estradiol? I was hoping my doctor would prescribe estrogen medication but he does not seem to think that would be an option. Why would he decide that? Do you think estrogen supplementation would help? Instead he is having me take 25 mg daily of DHEA. Do you think this will help and is it safe to take in pregnancy? Will eating foods high in phytoestrogens e.g. soy help increase my estradiol? Also, do you think my low Hcg levels are a bad sign? At 12 DPO they were 15 U/L so they increased rapidly to 69 U/L on day 14 but then slowed a bit to get to 129 U/L on day 16. I am due for another blood test tomorrow. I really do not want to lose this pregnancy, but these low numbers are making me worry.
