after taking viibryd, my sperm thickness is less. is this a side effect?
hi doctor,i am on viibryd for depression and lipitor for cholesterol. i am 25 years old. now, i have a very hard time to get up and keep up my interest. it seems to have made my sperm less thick. i have read the side effects and discussed with a few people. i never had these issues before taking these medicines. my question is will my sperm still be potent enough to get a baby? because, i have been thinking of starting a family now. but, i do not know if i will be able to. please help.
hi,
welcome to icliniq.com.
i read your query and understood your concerns.
i like to inform you that the decreased sperm count is not a side effect of viibryd (vilazodone) and there is nothing to worry in this regard.
i understand that you got this feedback from your friends, but there is no such case observed by any experienced clinician so far.
regarding ability to impregnate a woman, i will request you to get a semen analysis done from a nearby laboratory.

i had a vasectomy 25 years ago, and almost immediately regretted it. i would have never done it knowing what i know now. the good part is no more kiddies, and i was ready for that.the bad part is i had some of the major side effects:1. post surgical infection of both incision points. i had abscesses the size of a nickel on both sides. took 60 days for them to clear.2. my balls ached for at least a yearthe sad part was my urologist didn't give a shit, and no one from his office would return my calls. 3. then there is the primal/psychological aspect of it. anyway you look at it, you are infertile. you know it, and your female knows it. rational or not, that fact sits in the back of your head. in college i had a girlfriend were we intentionally timed sex so that she was constantly carrying my live load in her womb for over six months. it was a fetish, obviously but we both really got off on it. primal. now, my wife was great about it, and appreciated not having to get a tubal ligation, as her gynecologist was leaning on her hard to get off bc pills. i'm pretty sure it didn't make any difference to her, but it did to me. not very likely that contraceptive cause that. if you are not nursing mother then perhaps dedicated mri of pituitary might be next step to evaluate finding provided that repeated prolactine test is consistently high. see more... Hello Miilla,



  

Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.











The difficulty of couples in having a baby can be caused by fertility problems in women and men. Fertility disorders in men often occur due to lack of quality and quantity of sperm cells. Therefore, sperm analysis is one of the most frequently performed examinations in cases like this.



  

Various indicators will be assessed in sperm analysis, including sperm cell concentration, motility and morphology, semen liquid volume, acidity level, time of liquefaction, as well as fructose levels. Ideally, sperm analysis checks are indeed carried out on direct examination from the examining doctor. If it is needed, this examination can be done independently on the examination of the patient. However, given the interpretation of the results of the analysis of sperm cell analysis must also be done directly by a doctor, then you should continue to consult a doctor or a specialist in urology surgery. With his competence, after checking your general health condition, he certainly understands more whether it is necessary for you to undergo a sperm analysis examination or not.



  

To take the examination specimen, the doctor will generally invite you to ejaculate in a special place, then then collect the ejaculation fluid that comes out in a container. In some conditions, you can also do this ejaculation at home, that is by masturbating or ejaculating during sexual intercourse that is accommodated in a special condom (not just any counselor). However, even if it is done at home, this ejaculatory fluid must be stored at room temperature and taken directly to the doctor in less than 1 hour to be examined. Before taking a specimen, to get accurate results, you need to delay sexual intercourse and masturbation for 2 to 3 days in order. Also avoid consuming alcohol, caffeinated minerals, drugs, or any supplements without first consulting a doctor. So that the results are right, this examination can also be repeated 2 to 3 times in 2-3 weeks.



  

Hope this helps ... you'll need to be evaluated by your physician and possibly have blood tests. don't try to self diagnose. taking medication for mild constipation will not solve your weakness. see more... hi kevin<br/><br/>they may well have harmful effects, yes. no one really knows, because they're never studied properly, and so the long term study to prove that they're safe is a non existent one. there is some evidence that they may be risky, especially phedra cut, because of the stimulatnt effect on the heart, and so i don't know that it justifies the risk. the problem is that there's no evidence that they work either. or that you need them. fact of the matter is that you don't need them now. you've just started out with your trianing and rather than waste money on these products (with some risks), i'd encourage you to make sure your diet is good and that you're training well. supplements are not part of the answer - diet is. so rather spend that money on the diet, by seeing a dietician.<br/><br/>good luck<br/> dear sham park<br>cholesterol medication can cause abnormal liver functions - one is usually worried when the count is 2-3 times higher than normal. i would just monitor this to see that the levels stay stable and change or stop medication if it constantly increases. mirena (levonorgestrel) it secrete progesterone and after your body gets used to it the heavy bleeding should stop altogether . it might take a few months though. cramping at first can be a side effect as well as irregular bleeding see more... sorry about your diagnosis. i too was given the diagnosis of pof this past february, after a failed ivf cycle. i was told that my only chance to have a successful ivf cycle would be to use donor eggs. so that is what my husband and i are doing next month. i have regular monthly periods though, apparently unlike you. if you truly have a diagnosis of pof, there are not any fertility medications that will make it possible for you to create a genetic family. sorry. it's a fact. you can use the strongest fertility stim meds at the highest doses, and it won't do you any good. furthermore, having a period does not mean that you're ovulating...which is exactly the point of having pof. there is no pharmaceutical way, nor technological way available right now to provide the opportunity for a woman who has pof to have her own eggs retrieved. perhaps you were mistaken with what your diagnosis was? i would ask your re again. best of luck to you. if you have any further questions, please feel free to email me. i am here to provide support for you as well.
addtl info: i just realized that you stated that you aren't able to get into an re until june 2nd. so who gave you the diagnosis of pof? i suppose your gyn? not meaning to knock your doctor, but the reality is that a gyn is simply not educated enough nor specialized enough to make this diagnosis. coming to the conclusion of pof is made via blood work and exams. also, it usually is made only after a round of stim meds fails miserably. i suggest you get a real diagnosis when you see an re. you probably simply will find that you just need a some clomid to help "kick start" your period. but that's a far cry from actually having pof. both products can affect your kidneys. use either up to 3,000mg of tylenol or 1500 mg/day of naproxyn (naprosyn) sodium ( aleve). 7-10 days is a good beginning duration and have your pcp do blood and urine testing to check your kidney function. see more... i would get on some sort of birth control. this sounds like a hormone thing. your body is trying to regulate itself again and birth control would even out the hormones.
