Serious help! Erectile dysfunction

**Steveng12** · 02-23-2018, 07:36 PM

Hey guys,

Im here because im really concerned. I took a prohormone 3-4 years ago and took a pct. I was new to doing hormones so im not even sure they sold me a real pct or not. I still have no erection. I had regular tests ran from the doctor recently and he said everything was normal bur i think the only hormone tested was testosteone and other regular blood panel.

I know for a fact it had to do with the hormones because as a week past when i finished my erection never came back.

My question is what should i do next? Im thinking something may be off with estrogen but im waiting to see a urologist. This has put me in a depressed mood and not confident in anything.

So any advice would be gladly appreciated

Thank You

Hey there seen no one posting on this but hopefully I can give some ease of mind. It's not the end of the world bud personally I never had this issue because I been doing PE exercises for quite some time. I'd look into that, I've used high doses of deca and never needed used any Ed meds in my life span. My questions are ... What was the name of PCT? Are you still getting horny? Have you checked Google on which things can cause ED? Many factors go into this but some PE exercises should help you in many ways as it has for me. Hope everything works out man I'd Check out pegym forums great things to learn about there good luck.

What doctors consider normal might be for a 90 year old man. Ask for your bloodwork and post it up for everyone to check. Also need age and stats..

**Steveng12** · 02-25-2018, 09:40 AM

I dont remember about the pct it was years ago and being new to it i trusted the guy at the shop. I was solid always horny during the prohormone cycle. Week later i was also taking the pct and i just went plain limp nothing. I still have the sex drive and only can get semi hard at most when i touch it. Its been years man i thought levels would return on its own even if i did screw up down the line. The guys i did it with have no problems with ED but i dont even think they did a pct

I didnt know that i thought they would go by age and tell you, your good for your age. Im 27 180 5'8. I did this when i was like 23

What it sounds like to me the pct was way underdosed compared to the pro hormones you were using and was not able to get you back on your normal levels. How do you feel? Have any energy? Do you plan on getting on more or a gear cycle? I used PH in the past and it is dangerous as hell to do due from all the side effects you get , and deal with the pct as you would on gear but if you can't get your hands on gear like I couldn't at the time I fully understand man.

**Steveng12** · 02-25-2018, 11:10 AM

What is gear?
I'm to scared to take anymore pills. I havent tried another pct or anything like that. I just now started reaching out for medical help because i was pretty embarrased to tell my doctor but i felt like it was time.

Im planning on making an appointment with an urologist next week to see what he thinks and get more tests done. My general doctor said test looks good, so i was thinking maybe my estrogen levels are off.

I feel quite fatigued and i need preworkout to still hit the gym or i wouldn't go at all. Im not as motivated in it either i would rather not be there lol i used to love it now it feels like a job working out.

this is more the likely NOT from taking a pro-hormone 4 years ago. the HPTA is stout and would have recovered just fine naturally, in fact you said blood work came back in normal range, which is proof it has recovered.

what are your stats, age, body fat percentage ?

The testosterone levels are normal from what the doctor said. I dont think he tested estrogen. Why i think it was hormones is because ive never had problems with erections, id see a hot girl and it would pop up. Almost right after the hormones were finished my boners were gone.

Ahh I miss read your first post , gear headed will be able to help you out better than I can! But as in gear I meant as in the good ol juice! You said you feel depressed mood and that could be the cause of how you are feeling , been there during a injury and man it is the worse best of luck !

have you tried Cialis ? figure out if its a blood flow issue or a libido issue or a desensitization issue.

lots of things beside test or estrogen. it could be LOW DHT . and you have a ton of DHT receptors in your dick, without elevated levels of DHT you will have no feeling in your dick and not be able to get hard. just one example

I haven't yet my doctor gave me some generics to try. I can get hard if i touch myself but only for like 2 mintues and it goes down unless im constantly touching it. I can see attractive girl and i try to get it up but nothing happens unless i rub on it for a few.

From your knowlege do you think i will ever return back to normal?

**GearHeaded** · 02-25-2018, 11:52 AM

it could be progesterone or prolactin as well .. perhaps thyroid. docs should have ran a FULL hormone panel so they would have all the info they need to make a correct diagnosis. sucks that they didn't.

DHT can be enhanced naturally and there are supplements that can help. I'm just throwing that out there with no blood work to go by.

try the cialis for a couple days.

**GearHeaded** · 02-25-2018, 11:55 AM

also 'free testosterone ' , maybe your total levels are normal , but all if its bound up and not usable. you may have little androgenic activity going on , this is making your mood weak and lethargic, where with high androgens your are confident and aggressive, this carries over to libido

Well he ran regular full panel test and i asked for testosteone to be added. He didn't know the situation at the time, i just thought for sure it was the problem.

I told him this last visit he said i could go see a urologist and gave me some generic cilas. He also mentioned it could be in my head but he reccomend to get everything tested from a urologist.

From your knowledge Do you think i will be able to recover from this? I mean boner is not totally gone i can get it hard for a few mins but idk. Ive never been in this spot and my girl is disappointed too. Its very depressing.

**GearHeaded** · 02-25-2018, 12:08 PM

you'll be fine, its just a 'phase' your going through. the cialis will help with your confidence and blood flow. this will give you time to try other things and help optimize your hormones.

Ok i was just worried because 4 years is a long time and i thought it would all return on its own. Hoping doctors can figure this out.
