 [ Symptoms ] what causes a searing moving pain throughout my thighs and calfs when sleeping it is after an hour on the eliptical i have chronic leg cramps overnight especially in my right foot where i have hardware from a broken ankle occasionally the cramps turn into a searing moving pain that travels through the muscles making it impossible to stand and walk the cramps out it must be from dehydration after exercise although i do drink powerade zero throughout my workout and at least 15oz of water at night [ Disease ] most men have no trouble fathering children in their lifetime but of those that do of couples that have a hard time conceiving that present to a fertility doctor 60 percent of the problems can be related to the female factor 40 percent to the male and because male factor fertility can actually be a symptom of something more serious it is not something to be ignored testicular cancer often can present as a form of male infertility hormonal and metabolic disorders can present as infertility so when a couple presents to a doctor and is having trouble conceiving it is really essential that the man go to a urologist get a separate complete exam blood test hormone test to be sure that there is not something more serious that is going on and with a lot of the new advances in sperm aspiration and retrieval and the new assisted reproductive technologies doctors are just saying well it does not work it is not great but we do not need much all we need is one sperm now and they bypass the evaluation so that the guys and their potential health or metabolic problems are being ignored you can have congenital absence of the vas that may be a warning sign of cystic fibrosis that you may want to know about if you are having trouble conceiving so again that can only be found with a good urological exam so the moral of this story is if you and your wife are having problems um    conceiving then absolutely you should be seen at reproductive specialist on both the female side and a urologist ideally one with reproductive fertility training
