monitoring improvements

i like to know which kind of improvements u got during months/years, on sexual sides

just an anedoctal statistic

Today i am 1 month off finasteride… i really don´t see improvements in sexual funcion.
Bad erecction, no morning erections, zero libido (nothing !! ), and poor eyaculation force and volume…
and i am only 24 years old…what can i say?..really bad…

i got noticeable improvements only more than 2 yrs after quitting.

1 i get the “reconnection” brain/penis
2 more sensitivity
3 less cloggyness on my lower belly

now after3 yrs still not regained my 100% old self, but i feel better compared to the past

Hi Prop, did you experience any penile shrinkage in those first years? If so, has that gradually improved aswell?

i got hourglass shrink.

is improved in the last 6 months,
the improvement is evident only in erection

in pre erection phase still present a shrink but better than beginning

i suspect a mild incipit of fibrosis that maybe is going to recede

anyone here is experiencing cyclic sides?

in the last semester along with improvements i suffered from up’n down sympthoms
these are coming back less strong each time, so i’m well disposed

i can point out that strong cloggyness was like an alarm
that adviced me when bad cycle was arriving

i feel that prostate has a major role in all this

Sounds a lot like my post fin recovery process. Up…down…UP…WAAAY Down…WAAAY UP…WAAAAY…Down…WAAAAAAY UP…down…WAAAAAAY UP…down a little…

Prostate has really been fluctuating the past six weeks since I started recovering more. I think as my T levels have increased, the DHT has not increased proportionately and therefore the Estrogen ratio is not where it should be. Hence, the inflammation in the prostate.

did you have shrinkage?
if yes how is recovering?

i 'm seeing less wrinkes on mine month by month but still waiting for better

Yes had penile shrinkage, testicular shrinkage, penile structure changes, wrinkles etc. These are also improving similar to in your case.

And how is the ED for you guys? Better? Gone?

it was an issue more or less in the first yr after discontinuation.
after is improved month by month, with good and bad periods

now is a problem of excitement, i mean, i can get erection
and perform, but it’s a mechanical sensation, not real enjoyement

is more a matter of lack of libido.

now in “bad period” i feel a slight numbness in my lower belly that put down pleasure sensations and excitement

Getting more normal by the day. Still not what it was pre fin. I can’t get an erection by thinking about sex about 25 percent of the time. It is usually not fully erect and a little stimulation gets it fully erect. Pre fin it was instantly very hard. ED is sporatic. At my worst now, I can at least get it going with a minute or two of stimulation. Libido is still slowly coming along. I hope I can return to the raging bull I was again. At least now I can feel somewhat confident that it will work if I need it to. I hope this improvement holds.

I am like you guys these days, fluctuating between very high and very low.

if we have luck we are on the right way

everybody here keep posting here any minimal improvement,
is good for moral :smiley:

I’m not going to because everytime I improve, I fall back to an even worse state. This time around after having a good week I just can’t stop thinking about suicide.

u had shrink? it fluctuates too?

Yes. Last week when I felt great the shrinkage reversed entirely, in fact my penis actually looked better than ever but right now it’s back to shrunken, bottleneck shape.

hmm
better investigate on which kind of shrink we all get

i mean, anybody here had a penis ecocolordoppler test done?

i want figure out if and which tipe of fibrosis is occurred to us.

if results turns fine it’s all a matter of prostate, no fibrosis involved.

This is an interesting topic. I have been off fin for just over a year now. Sensativiy is at an all time low, butt getting an erection is no problem 80% of the time. Keeping it is a little more challenging. I take calis to achive this.

I think i have found a combination that haults the progression of sensativty loss and gives the penis a warmer, fuller feeling. I a using tamixfon 20mg daily and i am cycling andractim gel on my penis and niples twice daily for 4 weeks on 2 weeks off. Libido is is up from zero to about 10% of what i once was.

I am convinced its a postate issue. I get very unusal feelings in that region, during climax or even when bennding over or stretching. I constantly feel full and bloated and have trouble getting a full breath.

Its encouraging to see people her imporiving years off. When i first quit fin a was devestated that it might take months o recover. Now I will be happy to make a recovert at all. So if it years in the future i’ll take it.

i was convinced too

mY cloggy feeling is that thing that never abandoned me in all 3 yrs after discontinuation.
I always pointed out that this symptom is a monitor that shows me when good or bad periods are approaching.

i get back sensitivity, but strange feelings r always with me

the arousement or the climax is depowered in some ways
it’s like a “blob” under the umbilic that stops the spread of sensations
and even the “squirt power”

sometimes i feel it concentrated in center someothers wider in the lower belly
