any advices ????
 
I don't see anything standing out in your blood work that would contribute to ED. But your Vitamin D is really low. You should supplement that.

How is your blood pressure?

Do you take any other medications?

Have you tried taking daily Cialis?
 
RT3 is low..
interesting. Every thing else is ok.
Beautiful levels for 100 mg/week dose...
are you fairly lean??
How far from shot was this blood work?
whats your CBC like?
Make sure you donate blood if need be...

Vitamin D 20.5 ng/mL is very low! You need to supplement and get that higher than 50. If you have more melanin (darker skin color) try to get it above 80.


Endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated to play an important role in pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED) and vitamin D deficiency is deemed to promote endothelial dysfunctions.

great info .. thanks ... how do i go about supplementing it to get it higher
 
Ok DHT mentioned in this thread peaked my interest. I'm not having erection issues, but I'm on TRT, and when my DHT was last checked it was 69ng/dl with a scale of 30-50 ng/dl, so it was high. This was reviewed by a Doc that specifically prescribes TRT, HGH Therapy, and looks at all hormones in general. He didn't bring this up as an issue. So, my question is, what can the high DHT be doing to me, besides hair loss, and how could I go about bringing it down?

Hell naw man. I came in here to suggest that your E2 might already be too low.

I had a standard E2 value like yours but my sensitive E2 value was 10. I was having ED issues too. Once I got my E2 up, boner city. The standard test overstates estradiol values.

I'd suggest having a sensitive E2 test done to see where your values are and go from there.

You definitely do not need to lower your E2 any further.

Most guys seem to like their E2 to be somewhere between 20-40pg/ml on the Sensitive E2 assay. Some like the higher end and some like the lower end.

Now keep in mind that the regular assay ia not accurate at the low levels found in men. You had the regular assay performed. Anecdotally, we find that the regular assay ia often 10-20 points overstated. That means your E2 is probably between 10-20. If you feel fine, leave it the way it is. If you have symptoms of Low E2, you could do some things to bump up your E2 a bit.
