Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

I made changes to my lifestyle by reducing my alcohol and tobacco intake, refraining from sexual thoughts, maintaining an active routine, and seeking advice from an herbalist to ensure the health of my baby.

Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

I purchased vitamins and food supplement capsules from a herbalist to boost my immune system. Additionally, I drink plenty of alkaline water.

Tips and advice for any mental and emotional side effects of treatment

I find that doing simple things like relaxing, watching TV, and reading can help take my mind off things. Getting rid of things I no longer need and being competent in what I do also helps. It's important to believe in yourself and look forward to better days ahead. I also enjoy engaging with people. and also listen to good music

How this treatment impacted my life the most

It makes me feel excluded from social activities due to changes in my lifestyle, such as coping mechanisms for my sexuality and giving up alcohol and cigarettes.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Because it is less complicated, I believe it will work. I have already started noticing some improvement lately, but I still have six more months of treatment left. I am sure things will be even better by then.
