Hi all
I’m not sure if my symptoms are of PFS or just a phase/ stage in my life.
I’m 31 year Old. I stopped taking Finesteride about 6 months ago (had previously taken for 2 years on and off).
Symptoms: I’m experiencing Erection and Libodo problem from last 3/4 months. The problem is not persistent, I get good erections(30-40%), average erection (50-60%) and no erection other times (less than 10%). I have had no problem before that, I used to have nearly 100% good erection before that. I also have symptoms of Adrenal fatigue (Tiredness, memory issues, cluttered mind, anxiety…) I sometimes get light pain in the testicles, but without fever, rashes or swelling. Sexually speaking- My testicles have reduced in size a bit, but not testes, semen volume has reduced considerably, so has the force of ejaculation. Psychological part is not that troublesome (I have read of people with suicidal tendencies).
Test Results
I underwent tests to see If my blood and hormone levels are okay. My results are:
- Free Testosterone & Bio Available and Total Testosterone: All Good, within prescribed range, i the middle of the range
- Estradiol: Within the prescribed Range
- DHT: Within the Range
- Cortisol: Within the Range
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin : Within the Range
- Free Androgen Index: Within the Range
- Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT): 61 (Normal Range- 5 to 41)
- Uric Acid: 8 ( Normal Range 3.5 - 7.2)
- Kidney Profile: Normal (Except Uric acid)
- Lever Profile: Normal (except SGPT)
- Total Cholesterol: 205 ( Normal Range <200)
- LDL: 135.4 ( Normal Range <100)
- HDL: 44 ( Normal Range >45)
- TSH: Normal
My doctor says my problem is mostly related to Cholesterol and possibly temporary, he is advising Cialis and other natural remedies as it is in the beginning. Do I have PFS or is it just general ED? what do you experienced people think?
