Testosterone tablets?
Although all medicines have caused side effects of one sort or another for someone, it is unlikely that testosterone tablets would result in sweating and discomfort in the groin. You should see your family doctor to be checked for fungal or other infection in the groin. J. Bruce Robertson, M.D., FACS, CPE, AME READ MORE
How can I stop kidney pain?
How to stop kidney pain depends upon the reason you are having pain. Kidney stones, kidney infections, kidney cancer and a number of other things can cause kidney pain. In addition, sometimes pain from a disc or other back problem can mimic kidney pain. I suggest you see a urologist to determine the cause severe pain and what the solution should be. Best of luck.

Can a man with low sperm count get a woman pregnant?
Yes. If there are any sperm in the semen it is possible for a man's partner to become pregnant. Certainly the chances of pregnancy go down as the sperm count goes down but even men with very low sperm counts have occasionally fathered children. Men with zero sperm in the semen are considered sterile or infertile and cannot father children. READ MORE
When should you see a doctor about frequent urination?
Frequent urination can be a sign of many things including bladder infections, prostate infections, kidney stones, narrowing in the urethra, etc. some people simply urinate more frequently than others. You should see a urologist if this is bothersome enough to you that she would like these questions answered. You should certainly see a doctor if you have painful urination or blood in the urine.

Can you have a kidney infection without pain?
Many physicians tend to lump all urinary tract infections under the broad heading of a kidney infection. The classic manifestations of a kidney infection include flank or back pain, fever, frequent urination, changes in urine character such as a foul odor and, occasionally, blood in the urine. It would be very unusual for someone to have an actual kidney infection without flank or back pain. READ MORE
