His symptoms of feeling of heat in genital region was better by thirty percent. Fear of performance during sex had reduced by twenty percent. Loss of sex drive was also better by five to ten percent. His problem of acidity had improved. There was no change in the frequency and duration of symptoms, but the intensity had reduced. Belching had decreased than before. He had stopped eating outside food. Hair fall had increased slightly. He also reported that his wife was pregnant. Based on this follow-up changes were made in the prescription.

Belching was completely better. Retrosternal burning had markedly reduced. There was not much improvement in the hair fall.
