Michi,
I am sorry you are going through this. My son is damaged and this is a never ending nightmare for him. Not only ED, but issues with his eyes, gut, bones, attention span, etc…Nightmare and heartbreaking. I will note however, he has improved over time. He is accepting what has happened and is going to college, etc. Life goes on. It is still early for you. Your body may recover naturally a bit. You are not alone.
I am watching this topic for my son (look up my other posts). He is damaged. Some things got better, others got worse, but yes, he is impaired. Others will have to chime in for the ED. I DO know that Zinc has issues, so maybe stay away. I think bodybuilding is a good thing, if your body can tolerate it. Time. You still have time on your side. Ensure you have good gut health, so your vitamins absorb. Be very, very cautious of any medical and most vitamin treatments.
As for a Uro, expect them to not believe and dismiss you. It matters not. They can NOT do a damn thing anyway, except maybe order blood work.
(My son’s T is about 525, up from 471)
My son went to a Uro this week. This Dr told him he did NOT have ED, refused to do ANY blood work, hardly glanced at his old blood work, told him to see a Psychologist and tossed some Viagra at him. The Dr said he had never treated a patient with ED from Accutane, although he had heard of it, but “people on the internet say things.” Waste of time and money.
IDK how others will take this advice…but here it goes… As far as interpersonal sexual relationships, one way to get around some of the ED is to focus on the other person’s pleasure. Increase your tongue game by 3 fold, your curved finger and toy game. Make her an orgasm, once, twice, 3x before you do anything, and then again when you are done. Don’t make her sexual experience about trying to get/keep you up. I am gay and I can go all night long. Never a complaint and I have no penis. I can go all night and I can’t kick em outta my bed. I am NOT trying to be tacky or a braggard, I am just saying that your penis working perfectly is not the end all be all in sex. You can still make a woman very, very happy (and do we not all want happy partners) with ED…
FYI, there is a government inquiry in the UK and they are asking for the public’s information. They are considering stronger warnings, etc. They NEED public feedback. Only 5 questions. So, take a few minutes and fill it out. https://www.surveys.mhra.gov.uk/5fa2caf33414eb1dd21958ad (You do not have to give your real name if you do not want to)
