I have been gone a while but now I am back, Need Help Please!

[Spunkey71]

Hey everyone, I have not been around for a long time, life has just gotten far too busy. My TRT is going great and I have managed to drop 95 pounds over the last year. Life has been going very well all except for one thing. Now that things are going well and I have lost some weight woman are actually starting to take notice which is great. The problem is that even though I can get an erection it just isn't what it use to be. It is still somewhat soft, not rock hard like when I was younger. I also find that being somewhat soft when erect I do not last nearly as long as I did prior to getting on TRT. I E2 is in check so I am not sure if that is what is causing the issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can take over the counter to correct this issue?


Thanks in advance

You need something to increase blood flow.

Personally I would think about adding cialis at 2.5 mg or 5mg every day or every other day.

What is your cholesterol like? This can build in penile tissue and cause restriction, correcting cholesterol will help this.

Although based on you losing 95 pounds I bet your cholesterol is pretty good and cialis may be the way to go.

Hope this helps.

Have you looked at Prolactin? assuming you have, but that causes issues with me. Also, when my E2 is low I have trouble.

Cialis

Thanks for the responses everyone! About two years ago I bought some of the liquid Cialis to get good pumps in the gym. I was taking 3mg a day and honestly never felt much difference in my erections. About a month ago a buddy of mine gave me a couple Viagra's from his script and it did not seem to really help either.

I was always under the assumption that high E2 caused ED issues, am I wrong on that? I inject twice a week and take Arimidex after each injection. Should I stop taking the Arimidex to see if that makes a difference? I would also like to know more about Prolactin, what kind of issues does it cause for you daleb?


Thanks

Yea could be too much Adex as well. Especially since you dropped so much weight. On second thought I bet thats it.

So if my E2 gets too low it will cause ED, I thought it was the other way around.


Thanks

Get the bloods. That'll tell the tale.

I think difficulties like you describe can be from too high or too low. Kinda gotta find that sweet spot. With your huge body comp change, I'll bet your AI dose needs tweaked .

Btw, good going on the weight loss!

Yes low E2 can cause sexual dysfunction. It goes both ways high or low.

I'd run a lc/ms estradiol blood test first before you worry about prolactin. I'd bet ur single digits. Most guys worry about gyno. I did when I started out. The chances of getting gyno on trt are low unless you've ran cycles or had pubescent onset gyno. But that don't stop ppl from hitting the arimidex hard. If you want to save some money skip a dose of arimidex and see if that helps. Also you may not need it, but if you do get compounded 1/8th mgs or a liquid arimidex product. This is all covered in the stickies and faq this forum provides.

Thanks everyone, I will try skipping a dose or two and see what happens. Just for shits and giggles, are there any over the counter products anyone has had good experiences with, it can't hurt to try?
