Erectile Dysfunction on TRT?

[ajgnaples]

I am mortified but I think I have Erectile Dysfunction. I am having new lab results shortly and seeing my doctor. I don't know when it started - I may have had ED long before TRT. I am 48 years old. I guess its common but I feel like I hit a bad wall on this. I am horny as all get out but nothing happens. Its a horrible, horrible feeling - ugh!

I think it's the E2 what is too high. Mostly this is the reason and also mostly the libido is good but with ED on higher E2.

What's your TRT protocol? What's your labs, specifically your E2? High or low E2 can cause this. More information will help assist in pin-pointing your problem.

Did your have ED problems prior to TRT. Many on here will suggest Cialis or a similar ED drug. Personally, I don't see a need if you can dial in with your TRT.

As said, check Estradiol. Prolactin may be worthwhile checking as well.

You could also get on daily Cialis. A lot of us take it a low dose even though we don't have ED. It has a lot of benefits. One of them is rock hard boners like when you were a kid. Use the search bar here and you will find a lot of threads on it - or click the link below in my signature.

also agreeing to check etro E2 , obviously t levels also but your estro i am wondering about.

As everyone else has said...You need to go have your E2 checked - (Estradiol, Sensitive)
I just got my bloodwork back from privateMDlabs & mine came in at:

Estradiol, Sensitive 21.2

Recommended ranges are as follows:
Estradiol, Sensitive
LOW: 8.0 pg/mL - HIGH: 35.0 pg/mL

If your TRT doc won't test your E2 like mine won't you can order the test from privatemdlabs.com
No one sees your results but you & they will keep a record of your results online if you create an account, then you can refer to your test results down the road.
I had the same problem happen to me after about 6 months on TRT.
I'm NOT saying that this could be the only thing contributing to the problem, but the most likely. Also possible contributor would be prolactin as Mega says.
Hope this helps!

May need to add some Cialis to increase blood flow. May not always need it but cholesterol can build up in the penile tissue and cleaning it out of there is a good idea.

 

[ajgnaples]

What dose do you see on Cialis? Daily Dose? 2.5 or 5.0? I have been doing 50MG of Viagra and it doesn't do it. I will eventually go up to 100MG but I get jittery for the first 20 minutes on Viagra.

A good training method (you need any in this direction) you should buy a penispump.
That is helping the penis to fill with blood and train the tissue again to stretch. Longer phases with no erections (also no morning wood) are very very bad for the tissue!
Also you should do kegel (muscle) exercise (there are many descriptions to find with google).

Doctor won't test you e2??? He supposed to be in your corner! Tell him to fuck off and find another! Imo

 

[appleton111]

why wont your doc test your E2 level?

 

[3J]

if your doc isn't going to monitor your e2 get a new doc... thats garbage

Why in the hell would he want your E2 at 18? I bet money its not even a sensitive test.

Doctors are coming out of the woodworks and prescribing TRT but they have absolutely no clue what they are doing. We are getting so many guys that are all out of whack.

You really should call us. 500 IU EOD? Just more proof the doc is absolutely clueless.
