I just answered your question about glucose on another thread. Now, with all these symptoms, it's clear you have fever that needs to be worked up. All the symptoms, including the slight elevation of your fasting blood sugar might be related to your febrile condition. Fever could be caused by malaria, typhoid, infections of the lung, urinary tract, soft tissue, and even blood. There're other things that could cause fever. Your doctor needs to do culture and sensitivity of your blood, urine, and chest x-ray, and other tests.

Thanks sir for you advice, input and time. I will following it up. I'm really grateful. Once again, thank you!

Hello doc,

VERY LONG POST BUT PLEASE TRY AND  READ!

I need your assistance. I have been suffering from weak/soft erection for the past 4yrs. I noticed this the first time i tried to make love to a girl. I started masturbating when i was 16, then a met a girl at the age of 20 and now i'm 24. Before we made love, we have been doing foreplay, during foreplay, i discovered that i couldn't sustain my erection for long, sometimes it doesn't even get up, no matter how long we foreplay. Because of this, i had hard time starting the real thing, because i know i wasn't up. One evening, after enough foreplay, i knew she was high and needed me to go in without any excuse, so we started, I really found it difficult to go in, because my erection was soft, when i finally got in, less than a minute i came. This was shocking to both of us. She told me because it was the first time, that was why, but i knew it wasn't the first time and over excitement thing. After that day, i was never able to make love to her again, so after some time we ended.

Few months later, i met another girl, this time around, i couldn't even penetrate her, no matter how hard i tried. This was quite embarrassing. Because of this disappointment, i decided to look for a solution to the problem. Because of the numerous advertisement i had from traditional therapist who prophesied that they handle such problem without stress. I ran to the first one (popular, but i don't want to mention names) who gave me some drugs. After i took those drugs i noticed changes in my entire system, not particularly my reproductive organ, but the entire system. Before i took the drugs, i had this early morning headache, which was quite uncomfortable and make it difficult for me to get up from bed every morning. Also, i was having general body weakness and some signs which i cannot explain. All these were fixed  after i took the drugs. Early morning erection, that i never saw for long, came back. I could easily got arouse by merely thinking about a girl. I felt i was normal again. Since i was having no girlfriend then, i masturbated few days after. I began to feel the soft erection again, early morning erection doesn't stay long anymore, until it disappeared, though other part of me was OK.

I went to the lady and told her that, everything went well expect for the soft-erection issue, she told me that i need to continue the supply until the problem stopped. I ordered for another, which had little or no effect on me.  I had to stop because it was too expensive for me to afford.

After that, i just stop disturbing myself about it and focused on other things. 2 years back i met another girl.
Whenever we are together, though i have the urge for (sex), but the erection just come and go. So i knew the problem was still there, so i went to another traditional therapist. He gave me another set of drugs. After i took the drugs, i noticed something strange. My sperm became watering, it was not as thick as it was before. I also
noticed that, when i don't rush while masturbating, the sperm seems to be thicker. . Sorry, before i went to the second therapist, i went to see a doctor at a specialist, he only advised me and told me it was fear and all that, that there was nothing absolutely wrong with me masturbating. That wasn't enough for me, that was why i went to the second traditional therapist.

I went to the hospital for the second time, after a saw whitish substance came out from my penis while i was urinating. I explain everything to the doctor, he made me to take some test, after seeing the result, he told me that there was nothing wrong with me and told me to take some strong anti-biotic. After taking the anti-biotic, i experience some improvement in my health, but not with the soft/weak erection, though i still masturbate and watch porn.

Recently i discovered that while consuming a lot of carrot (because i like eating carrots ) my body was responding well. I start to experience early morning erection again, can easily get arouse and all that, though i have not tried it with a girl yet. Now carrot season is gone and since i still masturbate, the problem came back.

I have decided to STOP MASTURBATING and see how it  turns out (this i have done for two weeks now).

Somebody online told me to check my testosterone, cholesterol, Cortisol and hormone. I have not thought about that yet.

Now, i would like know if this problem is due to my excessive masturbation ( 1 - 4 times a week) or something is wrong with my body system.

I really need your advice even your criticism, since i know that, what i have been doing is wrong. Please help a brother in need.

Thx 4 d advance. Wat abt the watering sperm? Did u think those traditional drugs could be responsible? Should i stop masturbating? Wat abt those test i mentioned? More advance pls!

There's nothing like watery sperm. However, there's seminal fluid which is made by the prostrate to lubricate and transport sperm in a friction-less and nourishing environment. What you call watery sperm is not sperm at all, but seminal fluid that normally occurs after s strong erection, and sometimes post-ejaculation, it has not yet mixed with the whitish sperm, so it's usually clear or watery. Sperm is white, because it's produced and stored in the testicles, transported very rapidly through the spermatic ducts to the epididymis, mixes with seminal fluids for increased volume, before coming out of the penis.
You could test for testesterone and other hormones if you like, but that will be a waste of your time and money. If they're not normal, you probably wouldn't be masturbating and enjoying it the way you do. Once again, my advice would be to take it easy, relax, or go to someone who knows about these things in details.

Sex education is not only for teenagers. If you're enaged or married, I would recommend a sex therapist. You just need some basic information about the genitals, sex, and how things work. I'm in NYC, and if you're in Nigeria, I wouldn't know any referals out there.

Doc thank you for offering to be our doctor.

Pls i need your help Doc, i've noticed that each time i take some malaria drugs or antibiotic, my eye get swollen up and clears after 2 days.  Pls advice my on the possible cause of this reaction and what to do.

Hi Doctors,

I have an 8month old baby that developed a rash on his arms and legs. The Doctors all say its scabbies and prescribed Benzyl benzoate to rub on his body. This is so harsh even for an adult. I used it and it killed the rashes, however after about 2 weeks, i noticed new rashes. This means that there is still a source.

I have 2 guesses.
1. The new househelp i just got or (2). my parents dog ( can dat be a source).

I have read online bout the use of Dogonyaro,  they say it chases mites out of the house.

Please help, i am tired of applying Benzyl Benzoate on my baby.


N/B: We have had all his clothes washed with hot water and izal

He bathes with Tetmosol soap now.


What am I doing wrong?

I'm happy that you report some improvement. Once again, if you have been diagnosed with tinea capitis, you need to take griseofulvin by month for about 6 months. Unfortunately, the cream doesn't effectively eliminate this species of tinea. Your hair will naturally regrow after the infection is eliminated.

 Dear Doctor,
You are doing a good job for your fatherland. I am also into news ,reviews, and articles on health, fitness, exercise, diet and other health issues that can help you maximise your health.

You will all be glad to know my daughter just qualified as a doctor and will be starting her first job here in Scotland. She is hoping paediatrics will be her speciality. They now have what they call foundation year programs. She starts off with 4months paediatric surgery. Maybe one day I might introduce her to nairaland. She thinks I spend too much time on it anyhow!!!

Congratulations, moreso to your daughter for following her daddy's footsteps. It certainly runs in the family
