I used finasteride 0.25mg for a total of three months in the summer of 2024. Over the course of my first year off, I had incredibly strong windows of improvement, followed by periods of worsening, but overall I was getting better. But by the one year mark, I stopped having windows entirely and I stagnated for the next four months. My erection quality also declined, and I started on 5mg daily cialis to prevent my penis vasculature from declining further
However, I developed tinnitus as a result, and one of the drugs I tried to treat it, a chemical called prednisolone, crashed me severely. Now, two months later, I am having erections again, but they are weaker even than my previous low in the autumn. I can’t get more than about 20 to 30 percent hard any more. My nocturnal erections are also noticeably softer than before when I wake up
At this stage, I am fairly sure I have a venous leak that is slowly worsening over time. I am looking into finding an endocrinologist to prescribe me HCG and some other steroid like Clomid or DHT cream in order to try and halt my long-term decline. I would like to know if any other users with steadily declining erection quality and sexual health over time managed to halt this decline using hormonal interventions. I doubt shockwave therapy or PRP will help much without addressing the underlying cause. I am not yet ready financially or psychologically for a penis implant
Any advice would be much appreciated
