Does The Intake Of Clomid Increase Uric Acid Levels?
Question: My uric acid was normal before i started taking clomid to increase my sperm count now my uric acid is 7.43 how much zyloric i need to take and is it because of clomaphine citrate i am taking
Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXX,
Good day.
Hope you got the answer from the previous query.
Clomiphene citrate doesnt increase Uric acid much. ELevateion of uric acid is common in weight gain, obesity etc. We see this with metabolic syndrome as well.
You need to reduce red meat. ( if you take alcohol, that also need to be reduced or stopped). If your kidney functions are normal, you should take Zyloric 100 to 300 mg a day. If the kidney function is poor, the dose need to be reduced.

Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Clomid may not really improve your sperm count. You may have to discuss with your endocrinologist about FSH/hCG injections. You may also need a Y chromosome microdeletion study. there is a 40-50% chance of your sperm count improving with FSH/hCG if your testes volume is normal.
We need to examiine you before proper treatment can be done. I have already answered about your wife's problem in other question. Please attach her reports

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Y chromosome microdeletion is a blood test.
Infact, if your FSH and testosterone are low, usually we may require an MRI scan of pitauray ( after checking prolactin and thyroid function. This was normal in your case).
If that is normal, we need to assess your testes volume. Testes volume is assesed by examination. If you have adequate testes volume, FSH/hCG injections may help.
Unfortunately, due to legal reasons i can not prescribe you a dose online. Usually it is injected as weekly two to three times.
Tribulus is a natural supplement and is herbal. I dont know if that works.

Hi,
Noetd your reports. If FSH and LH are normal, pititary MRI is not needed. But if the levels fall on stopping Clomiphene, (and if your testosterone falls,) it may be worthwhile doing it. What is the latest semen analysis report ?
In any case, i personally do not feel that Clomiphene is a great drug in improving semen quality.
FSH /hCG injections are helpful in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in up to 40-50% of cases. You may need minimum 6 months of treatment

Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
One thing to remember is that, for sufficient sperm production, you need good healthy population of sertoli cells in your testes and sufficient stimulation of those cells by FSH. Besides, the levels of inratesticular testosterone should be optimum. What you have to understand is that, normally, intratesticular testosterone is atleast 400 times more than serum levels. This is essential.
A normal serum testosterone doesnt guarantee that the intratesticular testosterone levels will be high. It is difficult to measure that. Hence, there is a good scope with hCG and FSH treatment over Clomiphene. I realize that your LH, FSH and Testo levls have improved. However, if the sperm count hasnt improved much, it may be better to think an alternative to Clomiphene. There lies the imporatnace of FSH/hCG combination.
