Anorchia - No Testicles
 Riya asks,
My sister's husband has Hydrocele. There are no testicles. He does not have erection or ejaculation. What can be done?
 Dear Riya,
This is called Anorchia. This is very uncommon. Are the testes undescended? He can take testosterone injections to improve his libido and erection.

Dear Kamlesh,
This is a normal semen analysis report! Do a complete workup before starting treatment haphazardly.
You need the following simple medical tests:
- Blood tests for your wife for the following reproductive hormones - FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), PRL (prolactin) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) on Day 3 of her cycle, (to check the quality of her eggs). Do this from a reliable lab such as Specialty Ranbaxy (www.srlranbaxy.com)
- A HSG (hysterosalpingogram, X-ray of the uterus and tubes) for your wife on Day 8 of her cycle.
Please send me the detailed test results and medical reports. You can scan them in as a single file and email them to me.
With these test results, we can determine what medical problems are causing your infertility.
Metformin For Pregnancy Reading
Amy asks,
I was diagnosed with PCOS; I have been on Metformin for about a month and a half. I am pretty sure I ovulated almost three weeks ago. I took three pregnancy tests. I just wanted to know if the Metformin could cause a false (positive) reading?
Dear Amy,
No! Metformin will not cause a false positive reading. A positive test means you are pregnant - and you can confirm this by doing a blood test for beta HCG.
