Hey guys,
My story is kind of screwy, and if it doesn’t totally belong on these boards, feel free to delete it. Basically, I have penis problems and I’m not totally sure what did what.
It started a year ago when I took some lifting supplements. I had just gone through a break up and decided to get in really good shape with the help of supplements and then go out and get my dick wet. How genius of me. Anyway, this was my stack: Ultima (pre workout), Anabolic Pump USP Labs, Prime USP labs, and Optimum Nutrition Mass Serious Mass. I took this for about a week, and I noticed my penis had began to shrink. I figured my body had just been overloaded and this was a reaction to that. I quickly stopped all supplements but my problems remain.
My penis has shrunk and feels cold and slightly desensitized, my libido is pretty much gone, and I’ve gone altering variations of depression. I also have pain in my lower abdomen about 2-3 inches below my belly button, and my bladder seems to have shrunk or something, and I have to pee much more frequently. I am able to get an erection, but it is weak, and hard to maintain. I do get morning wood, but again it is weak, and that’s about the only one I get. For some reason, my penis seems to always hang to the right now. It is not normal for me, and it does this when erect too. It’s as if it slightly twisted itself. I should also note during this time I was taking Rogaine and Xanax/Ambien CR for a chronic Insomnia issue I have.
About a couple months after this, I was pretty down about everything and said fuck it, went to my dermatologist who quickly wrote out a script for Propecia. I took one pill and could not get an erection even while looking at porn and stimulating myself through masturbation. I did not take another pill after that.
I have been to two Urologists so far, and neither have taken me seriously. I’m 20 years old, and this shit is definitely not normal, but these asshat doctors don’t seem to want to do anything to help me. I believe my estrogen and testosterone levels came back within normal range, but I forget exactly what they were.
In combination with this, my insomnia and debilitating tinnitus, I’m dealing with a lot. I’ve taken Cialis which helps with getting and maintaining an erection, but my flaccid penis is still about half its normal size, and sex did not feel as good while on Cialis. I have also taken Horny Goat Weed, which definitely helps get me in the mood, however my penis problems still persist, and it is hard to maintain an erection.
I don’t know if taking the Propecia could have exacerbated my symptoms, but I see a lot of you have sexual side effects as well. I am currently off all medications for sleep, although I still do take Rogaine (topical foam).
TL;DR = My penis shrunk, erectile dysfunction, pain/bladder issue in lower abdomen, major decrease in libido, major depression.
I figure I should start trying different herbal supplements to see what may or may not help me, but I’m completely lost I don’t even know where to start.
Any thoughts, advice, or similar stories would be appreciated.
