Does TRT help with staying hard?

Sure it can... but not for everyone. A lot of men see great improvement when T/E are dialed in, but not all. Those exceptions then turn to Cialis - which is a miracle drug

yes - most definitely. My TT was below 200 when starting TRT. Now that I've been on TRT for 4 months I can say the quality of the solder solute is much better. Even with a TT that low, I never had ED issues. Now on TRT it's as hard as concrete and I can last forever in the sack.

Whoa now guys. There's a difference between being able to achieve an erection and losing one/being able to climax. Testosterone and estradiol dictate sex drive, and the the ability to achieve an erection.
However, if you're going soft during intercourse or are unable to ejaculate; I wonder if prolactin isn't a problem. I don't remember, did you have that tested MeanGreen? High prolactin most definitely can lower testosterone too.
I might be overreacting a little, but I'd hate to see you discover later on that you had a pituitary misbehaving instead of it just being a primary-ish hypogonadal problem.

HW That's the problem. Searching my bloodwork.... prolactin is not in here anywhere.

If I get it checked and find I have hyperprolactinemia, how do I combat that?

If just slightly elevated prolactin - Cabergoline/dostinex. If its really really high - it can be pituitary growth/tumor, etc. Pretty rare though.

This. If it comes back waaaaay out of range, time for an MRI. Although, most of the time that it gets crazy high - lactation can occur.

Oddly, some guys (usually young) force their nipples to produce fluid because they constantly play with them - thinking they have gyno. I've had high prolactin, which gave me a case of rubber-dick, but no home made dairy products to report.
