I’m
a 40-year-old suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. I’m told that I
snore loudly while sleeping. My current weight is 128 kg. Is there any
permanent cure for my problems?
You are suffering from
obesity and its related comorbidities. Bariatric surgery is currently the only
cure available for your problem. You need to be evaluated and most probably a
gastric bypass surgery is the solution to your problem.

It
has been 2 years since I got married and as much as I try I fail to understand
my wife. We fight a lot due to differences in thoughts and outlook. How much of
an understanding is justified on my behalf? I love my wife and I want our
relation to work.
It does happen at times
that in spite of mutual love that a couple shares, they start having disharmony
due to errors in communication, faulty expectations or sometimes due to
external pressures of work life balance. I recommended that you consult a
professional and take guidance, I am sure with mutual feelings you share, with
professional help you would be amicably able to sort out the differences and
your relationship would becoming positive.
Hi,
I am a 32-year-old working as a software developer. My wife and I have been
trying to start a family for the last two years without success. I am worried
that it may be due to a problem with my sperm count. Please suggest what are
required.
It is advisable to get a
complete evaluation done. Please have a look at the Couples’ Pre IVF
Investigations. Based on this your doctor will tell you the best way forward
for your wife to get pregnant.
Hi,
I am a 54-year-old retired man. I read recently that prostate cancer is the
second largest type of cancer in the US and is increasing on the rise in India.
Could I also be at risk ?
Prostate cancer is a
disease which only affects men. It brings to grow in the prostate, a gland in
the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer is mostly a very slow processing
disease. In fact, many men die of old age, without ever knowing they had
prostate cancer; it is only when an autopsy is done that doctors know the stage
of the cancer, or how far it has spread which helps the doctor to give a
prognosis. It also helps to decide on a course of treatment.

Is
semen deficiency correctable?
Semen deficiencies can be
corrected only if a correctable cause can be found. Medicines can be used to
correct conditions such as deficiency of pituitary hormone production or
infections of the genital and urinary tract. Surgical correction can be dome
for some types of blocks in the path of semen travel and severe varicocoele or
hydrocele. However, most semen defects are irreversible and empirical treatment
administered with drugs to improve semen quality is ineffective.
