Attention everyone! People who have previously experienced a heart attack or stroke often require an aspirin to prevent another event.

Heart Health Alert! 🚑❤️

Considering taking aspirin for heart health? Here's what you should know:

Secondary Prevention: If you've had a heart attack, stroke, or coronary surgery, aspirin can help prevent another occurrence.

Primary Prevention: For most individuals without known heart disease, aspirin may not be beneficial and can increase the risk of bleeding.

Remember:
Maintain a healthy diet 🥗
Exercise regularly 🏋️‍♀️
Quit smoking 🚭
Control cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes 📊
Always talk to your doctor before starting any new medication.

A recent patient of mine stopped taking aspirin based on a friend's suggestion, but fortunately, he disregarded the advice.

🧬 Understanding the Impact of Excessive Testosterone on Fertility 🧬
Did you know that taking too much testosterone can harm your fertility? 🤔💔
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Taking Too Much Testosterone: It might seem like a quick fix, but excessive supplementation can lead to serious consequences! 💉
2️⃣ Brain Stops Signaling: Your brain thinks there’s already enough testosterone in your system, so it stops sending important signals. 🧠🚫
3️⃣ Te**es Slow Down: As a result, your te**es produce less s***m due to the lack of signals. 🥺⚠️
4️⃣ Infertility: Ultimately, this can lead to lower s***m production and potential infertility. 😢❌
Stay informed and think twice before starting any supplementation! Your health is worth it! 💪✨
