hi All,
i tried searching the forum for a thread that would help me out in some way, but i couldn't find any thread where the problem quoted was similar to mine. so, here goes. i am a male, 28 years of age. all the blood tests i got done are within normal healthy range. i get a boner in the morning, at around 6:00 am. sugar/blood pressure are normal and healthy.
testosterone: 588ng/dl
estradiol: 35(sorry i forget the units)
prolactin: 20.6ng/ml (the reference range is 3.4-19.4, so its slightly raised)
fsh/lh are also normal
now, coming to the real problem. i fail to achieve a satisfactory erection when i'm with my girl. i have had this problem for the past 5/6 years when i took some steroids of which i dont even know the name of. some guy at the gym used to give them to me, which i took un aware of the side effects, being un-educated.
i do manage to achieve an erection with porn, but even that takes ALOT of time, and doesnt stay very long. i have to ejaculate or the erection goes away. i cant hold it back like i used to(i could hold back ejaculating upto 20/25 minutes, now its just a matter of 2/3 minutes or i loose the erection).
i have had psycho-therapy, been on anti depressants, taken herbal/ayurvedic/homeopathic/every other bull shit of a hope medication there is on the planet earth but nothing helps. nothing cures, the only thing that did offer a bit of help was clomid but it was really difficult to tollerate. i got really really bad constipation. my throat got drier than the sahara desert and i started to drink so much water and piss so much, that i thought my liver/kidneys were going to break. secondly, all the endocrinologists i went to told me that clomid wouldn't help because you don't have hypogonadism(i am thank full for the size of sack).
so, i have tried to strike out the two major causes of erectile dysfunction over the past 6 years: psychological and endocrine but the problem persists. i have tried visiting several endocrinologist but all of them say that if your testosterone is in healthy limits, then we cant help you. the urologists weren't able to help either, neither were psychologist & psychiatrists.
i am trying and struggling really very hard, but i cant find more places to look at.
i also got into a very committed relation ship with a fabulous fabulous girl who holds on but i think if i don't sort this out soon, i might loose her
one more thing, i also don't get that sensation in my "organ" when i am having sex or masturbating, or at least not the same intensity of the sensation like i used to before i did steroids. i was able to get very healthy erections, have sex in several positions/ standing up and lifting my partner , but now, its only missionary position, and if i try to switch into a new position, i loose the partial erection that i might have. getting an erection while standing up has become a dream.
i hate to say it loud but i'm really desperate. what can i look at besides testosterone, estradiol, fsh/lh, prolactin, progesterone? what doctor should/can i go to in order to seek help?
i'd really appreciate any help i could get.
