Need Ideas To Recover From Ed_______

[shulk]

Hello Everyone,

I took oral finasteride for about two years < 0.2mg (2016 till 2018). I had maintenance at best, but it is hard to tell. Eventually i stopped because i had ED problems. Only 80% boners and barely able to keep it up with constant physical stimulation.

We are nearing the end of 2019 and nothing has changed regarding that. Only thing that went away was the watery semen. It is impossible to tell if my problems are finasteride related or something else is going on.

Does someone have some tips or ideas to try for improvement? Maybe a supplement or something i could try. I stopped watching p**rn and am doing NoFap seriously for the past 1.5 months. Before that i already gave up visual stimuli.

At the moment i am at low body weight, almost underweight. My diet is currently (since 4 months) carnivore (only animal products) as i am dealing with some GI issues.

Would appreciate it if someone has some tips to try and improve my condition.

Greetings,
Shulk

Get some labwork done, testosterone (free/total), dht, estradiol sensitive, prolactin, shbg etc.
Will tell you what is out of whack, if estrogen is elevated or not.
If estrogen is elevated, you may find relief using a DIM supplement or some other aromatose inhibitor.
If estrogen isn't the issue, it is recommended by some in the bodybuilding community to try a low dose of Proviron (25mg? I think) for a few days until symptoms resolve.

I actually have some Proviron coming to see if it will help with ED/libido and sensitivity issues after using finasteride. I will post an update on whether or not it provides any relief.

Was your libido at 80% of what it originally was when you were taking finasteride, or was it 80% LESS?
I stopped taking dutasteride 2 months ago and i still have zero libido. Interesting to see thats happening to finasteride users too.

Thanks for the reply, i might get some lab tests on those values, but due insurance reasons it will be after new years.

And moosey i was not talking about libido but about boner strength. Where 100% would be normal i only get soft ones since finasteride at around 80%. I do get pretty weak morning erections again, while on finasteride and the half year after there was absolutely nothing.

My libido has always been a little lower than most people i feel, but i do not seem to have changes in that field. It has always been sorta on or off, one week normal or even more than normal interest, next week zero. finasteride did not really change that for me. Wish you luck.

Take some low dose arimidex to see if it’s due to elevated E .

OP you need an endocrinologist. He or she will do a complete hormone panel and then recommend what you should do. Don't play around with your hormones blindly.
