So just to summarize:
- No PMO
- supplement with B complex, Fish oil, Magnesium, Zinc, vit C, Vit D, L arginine
- probiotics
- juice fasts
- resting the body (no workout stress)
That’s it?
Thank you very much for your time.
After 7 years I am agreeing with you that the brain is a big factor. I always thought it was the nerves and blood vessels in the penis and the greater region. Is it known the specific mental problems that are caused by finesteride? I do not mean symptoms, I mean actually mechanisms and pathways that are impaired in the brain. I will try targeting those pathways/mechanisms specifically to heal them. Cheers

Dear God, why are you punishing me so much?!

In my wholly worthless opinion I think people who are prone to pfs already have sensitive androgen receptors so they’re more likely to be obsessed with porn and masturbation. Not the other way around.

Alternatively, the pornography isn’t related.
Or it was a correlation with a particular type of person at a genetic level.
Looking at pornography doesn’t directly equate. Genetic predisposition is not going to be dictated by looking at naked people.

Some of what you said sounds right.

His recovery plan makes total sense from my own perspective:
- No PMO: TO ELEVATE DOPAMINE
- supplement with B complex, Fish oil, Magnesium, Zinc, vit C: THESE MOSTLY HELP WITH REDUCING INFLAMMATION.
*Vit D: INCREASE T IF DEFICIENT (THINK T:E2 RATIO)
L arginine: PROMOTES NO & HGH - probiotics: IMMUNE SYSTEM MODULATION & HELP CORRECT GUT DYSBIOSIS (THINK SEROTONIN)
- juice fasts (DETOXING & INCREASES T & DOPAMINE)
- resting the body (no workout stress): LOWER PHYSICAL STRESS & HENCE “INFLAMMATION”.
That said, he’s waited a long time. PFS is like an umbrella for many illnesses with similar symptoms. Everyone should get a bloodwork first and go from there.

I FUCKING HAVE THIS!
It’s scary how I look like you. Before crash: hyper hyper hyper addicted to porn, depressed, anxious … Now, I have the same symptoms as you said, but the most peculiar of them are these tissues under the skin of the penis that become prominent, as if they were calcification (peyronie), but they are not calcification. Perhaps it is in fact some allergic reaction of the corpora cavernosa. I’ve always tried here to find people with these lumps on the penis (as if they were symmetrical but tight lines on the left), but people here have everything but not that.
People here ridiculed you, but your report was one of the best I’ve ever read. In my humble opinion (with all due respect), probiotics accounted for 70% of your recovery, and the rest went from nofap. However, I do not doubt that a long time without ejaculating and watching porn arouses some positive dopamine feedback and changes our genetic level, because the need for sex is our instinct and is in our DNA. Can I PM you for more infos?
Does yours come and go? Where exactly is located?
Mine is located under the skin of my penis. It has so far not disappeared and reappeared. It has always been there. I have been with this for 7 months (time of my PFS).
By the way, I would like to know if the OP also had totally soft erections, as well as the extremely soft flaccid state.
Near the base?
Near the base and also in the middle of the shaft.
ICE see you are from Sweden. I am also a PFS sufferer for many years. Do you know of any good doctors in Sweden?
Unfortunately no. I doubt there is a doctor in Sweden that can help with PFS at the moment. Last time I visited a doctor for PFS he looked at me like I was crazy.
do you still suffer or did you find any way forward for improvement on your own?
Yes I still suffer and I have not seen any major improvements. Only time when I saw improvements and felt like my old self was during my 90 days of NoFap. But unfortunately everything went back to PFS baseline when I started to have sex and masturbate again. My main issues have always been sexual
You can remove “in Sweden” from that sentence to be honest.

Is’nt that just proof that the cause might be frequent masturbation syndrome described in various nofap forums and taking finasteride just make us more sensitive to it?
That’s what I thought first, but if that was the case why didn’t my improvements last? If you think that you suffer from PIED, you can try a 90 day period of nofap. You have nothing to lose. But it’s really strange and I often wonder why I had those improvements during that period and why they did not last
