Yet another guy that propecia ruined (at least sexually)

Sometime my penis seemed to be in semi permanent “after cold swim” status. That is not the case for past 2 years.

Urghhh this is my biggest issue right now. There are days (like today, for example) where it will be 75 degrees and sunny outside and yet my dick looks like I just swam 100 laps in an ice cold pool. This worst part of this is that once it gets like this it usually stays for the rest of the day. The only things that seems to reverse this is sleep or a warm shower.

But this happens at totally random occurrences. Tomorrow could be 30 degrees and windy out and my dick will look just fine.

Same thing here. It is random, I cannot link it To food or habit. When this happens, my balls enter inside my body and my scrotum turns small and hard… Usually I feel waves of hot/cold from my scrotum throught my spine.
Ps: temperature in my city is always above 20 C

Sure , I knew it otherwise it would be out of context. My last Question is did you drink coffee and/ or so called energy drinks high in caffeine or other soft drinks or did you only drink water or tea ?

First and foremost congratiulations to your recovery .

Like you propably expected I have a few questions

Did you have Genital shrinkage ( Penis or Balls/Scrotum) ?

would you say that time was the only heal factor or that a diet and excercise was essentiel to your recovery ?

Did you take supplements if so can you name it . I mean you said that you wanted to heal naturally but I am talking about supplements like vitamin B , Vitamin D , Folic Acid something like that .

Might be just time. As I said I did eat a bit healthier and less sugar but was not dramatic change as I was a eater of poor nutrition food in the first place. I was in a bad place at times but I didn’t give up hope. Wish I had better answer.

Wrote this too fast. Supposed to read: “I wasn’t a eater of poor nutritional food in the first place”

I never drank energy drinks. I drank mostly water but some green tea and black tea (which I am sure had nothing to do with my recovery). Not much hard alcohol. Some beer. Not much soda. Maybe 2 sodas a month.

@kornilios

do you get spontaniouse erections/without touching it?
what about mornning erections?

Yes morning erections and sometimes erections during/after taking a nap.

Sometimes get spontaneous erections. Not the same frequency when I was early 20s, though sure this would be the case if
I had never taken propecia. Also can get erections if making out with a woman though not every time.

Pine909, this is a valuable question. Did you have a partner/girlfriend/wife through all of this, and were you having regular sex?
I think that the “use it or lose it” mantra applies here, just as most urologists prescribe once a day cialis for prostatectomy patients to take for often more than a year afterwards. I believe that regular sex and daily Cialis use can help us recover faster!

I hope this posting does not get erased.

Cheers!

My urologist told me to “use it or lose it” too. Because of that I decided to masturbate regularly. I think that was about a year ago, although I don’t feel the urge to do it.
I used to follow a regime, more or less based on cdnuts’ protocol. This had no noticeable results for me. In november, after I had followed the regime for two years, I decided to quit and live like I used to do before PFS. Since then I noticed some improvements, my erections have improved and my semen has become thicker. I cannot tell what caused the improvements, but I tend to believe that time and regular masturbation are beneficial factors.

this guy didnt have a fullblown pfs. He didnt even have penile shrinkage or facial changes. In addition he only recovered 85%.

During 5 years most of the other time was random hookups but they were disappointing and frustrating because o my condition. Toward the end I got a regular gf.

For me I didn’t want to risk any more drugs so I didn’t try any ED medication. I wanted to be “normal” with out help. As I posted in this thread I improved what I ate (but it wasn’t that bad to begin with) and tried to keep mentally strong.

I don’t if there exact definition of pfs but I sure the hell suffered a great deal. I went from no problems and regular sex to almost being able to do nothing overnight.
I still remember when it happened. I was having sex with my then gf and it going limp. That had never happened. After that it was 5 years of frustration. I Could hardly/not at all get it up, could not feel my penis when flaccid, discomfort when I did cum, lower volume of ejaculate, etc.

I wish I could tell everyone the magic formula for recovery but I can’t. I took 5+ years to start to be normal.

I am normal now.

[Ukguy82]

Thanks for posting. This is so positive and I am so glad that you got better. It gives hope to all of us.

[pine909]

I wish luck to everyone. I have been there. It was horrible.

I can’t say it will be ok but I did come back, I wish I recovered in a few months and not 5 years but it did happen. There is hope.

People have to decided what is right for them but please think before anyone puts more chemicals in their body to try and recover.

[Ukguy82]

I’ve been having a bad few days and reading this post has really cheered me up. Thanks for posting. I’m so glad that you have got better and I hope that i’m on the same track as you.

hy pine did you experience numbness of penis and scrotum, like there is very small feeling to touch. did you revered that completely.

[pine909]

I don’t get the numbness in my penis and scrotum now. I absolutely did in the first 3-4 years. There were days when it almost felt my penis wasn’t attached to my body. There was also pain in my scrotum. I could touch my penis and rub it and nothing would happen.

Thankfully that doesn’t happen any more.

[Cooper]

You mentioned about your orgasms feels ok now, can you say that it is 100% back to normal? My orgasms seems to be duller and more shorter than before. The build-up feeling is gone. Before accutane, my build-up orgasm feeling and ejaculation feeling was really good and lasted long. Now it feels shorter and less intense. Can you please specify this particular thing? Can you say that it is the same as pre-fin after your recovery?

(I really started to doubt that 100% healing is possible… i now, it sounds pessimistic but how people could really remember the exact feeling of the orgasms that he had 5 years ago… I hope people who recover compare the changes of Pre-Fin - Post-Fin health rationally. Im not saying this for you. Just wanted to add for other members ) @pine909

[iHATEMerck]

Finally fucking it… a complete reversal of numbness

THIS MADE MY DAY/NIGHT.
