Post-Finasteride - Symptoms of hypogonadism-Help !(Hormon status included
Hello to all. First of all sorry for my bad english, but english is not my mother language therefore I am trying my best.
I am 19 years old, 176 cm , 70 kg.
I've been taking the drug finasteride for 2 years against hairloss and took my last pill in November 2012. Unfortunately I developed something called "Post-Finasteride-Syndrom" - nobody really knows what it is, but you develop symptoms like hypogonadism ( I've never used ROIDS) :
NO Errections , no sex possible ( no spontaneous,morning,nocturnal, only after physical stimulation he gets kind of hard.even not after taking 10mg Cialis)
low - no libido
testicle shrinkage
big decrease in ejaculate.
ejaculate is not"jumping" out, just fleeding out slowly ( sorry for details)
decreased body hair
I've been to two different doctors, the first one just made a hormon test, and all my values are in the big, wide normal range, so he says it is a psychological thing, then I've been to the second one, I just brought my whole stuff, he watched at it, just realized that he could not make any easy money with me and said : I've no experience in that case, just go to a hospital. ( I mean wtf ?.)
Soo, I just added my current hormon values, and here are those from 2 years ago,when everything was fine
Quote:
FT3 2.2-5.0 3.34pg/ml
FT4 0.71-1.41 1.14ng/ml
TSH basal 0.4-4.0 1.88mIU/l
Cortisol i.S. 5-25 12.20 ug/dl
SHBG 13-71 22.10nmol/l
Prolaktin 2.5-17 6.72ng/ml
LH 0.8-7.6 2.91mIU/ml
FSH 0.7-11.1 1.78mIU/ml
Oestradiol 20-56 41.20
Testosteron 262-1593 509ng/dl
DHT 250-990 791pg/ml
Androstendion 0.6-3.1 2.11ng/ml
DHEA-S 80-560 306ug/dl
17-OH-Progesteron 0.61-3.34 1.38ng/ml
Hormon values from Oct 2010 before Fin treatment.)
In comparison to those now :
As you can see, my Oestrogen decreased by 50 %.
my Testo decreased by 10 %
my Androstendion decreased by 30 %
my DHEA'S decreased by 34 %
my SHBG increased by 21 %
my 17-OH-Progesteron increased by 28 %
my FAI ( Free Androgen Index) decreased from 85 to 63. which means 26 %.
I think this might be kind of a change - what medication would you recommend me ( I will consult another doctor anyways, but that I have to give him some "advice" what he could do.
My first thought was a HTPA re-start with hcg,tamox,dhea supplementation and clomiphen, which could look like this :
HcG:
first 16 days - 2.500iu eod
Clomid:
50mg ed for 45 days
Tamoxifen:
20mg ed for 45 days.
DHEA supp:
no idea
What do you think ?
An other way could be a drug which sensitizes the androgen especially the DHT receptor, is there anything out which could do this ?
I really hope for an answer
Best & kind regards
