A little background, for the last 4 years ive lost all sexual intrest, I feel like ive been castrated and cannot get horny or in the mood at all, even when I meet an extremely attractive girl and have her clinging around my neck in a club, or end up back at her place... there is zero male sexual hormone flucuation & activity along with zero neurotransmitter activity...Zero sex drive, premature ejaculation, and lack of morning wood (3/7 days ill get morning wood) Id rather watch tv or read a book than have sex with a woman, and its starting to cause issues for partners, so much so ive ended up breaking with girlfriends because its not fair on them not being satisfied (intercourse)
My life has become aimless and non goal orientated, I feel as if im merely exsisting and no more, I have spouts of anxiety through the week and have lost all assertivness, I feel less of a man daily and have started to become emotional at little things and starting to feel feminine, its really a mindfhk. At work id rather sit next to and feel more comfortable with the women than sit with the guys. Ive gained a high% bodyfat although im quite light, and it is carried on my hips, waist and chest. 170lbs, 6ft, 22-25% BF
I do not smoke, and I do not drink.
Over the past 6 months ive started to develop short term memory issues, forgetting where ive placd a set of keys 5 minutes previously, and spending half an hour looking for them, and developed brain fog, where I can be in the middle of a conversation and its just a cloud of confusion, I cannot remember what I am saying, and cannot spit the words out ? Night sweats have also been on and off for the last 2 months.
I went to my doctor 12 months ago and had bloods done, they came back with a basic testosterone value; 12.5nmol. I was told this was normal and sent away.
I changed my lifestyle for 6 month period, ate healthy, started cardio 5 times a week and lifting x3 a week. I supplemented with omega 3, vit D and lost 36lbs. After all of this change I still felt terrible and there was no change. I really struggled with weight lifting and with cardio, even after 6 months of consistancey.
I returned to the doctor, only this time a different person after 6 months of 'lifestyle change' and explained everything to him, he agreed that a male of 21 should not have lost intrested in sex etc, he ordered another basic testosterone test which can back at 13.7nmol My testosterone had increased by 1.1nmol. He agreed to send me to a specialist.
September 2011 - 12.5mnol
August 2012 - 13.5nmol
January 2013 - 10.7nmol
I saw the endo in January and had full blood work taken, the results are below (note these were taken at 09.20)
He said that the ' testosterone is a bit low but normal' and that the 'estrogen is a bit high'. He also said hes confused as to why the lh and fsh is a pretty good value but the other values ( T & E) are out... I really dont hold much hope. he says that the answer isnt being put on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), I really dont hold much hope...
Anyway I got bloods taken again yesterday and return to the endo in 3 weeks to discuss them again..... Any opinions on my readings ? any ideas on what would sort me out ?
