Hello guys, a user told me to explain my problem in this forum section so I think I will do it hoping somebody can help me with it.
It all started when I used a medicine called Minoxidil. It is a well known medicine that it's used to regrow hair, but originally was used to lower your blood pressure. I only used it for 3 months, and it's been like 2 years since I stopped using it. When I was into it I started having unwanted facial hair (which is one of the side effects), some headaches, blurry vision, and of course erectile dysfunction, penile shrinkage, poor ejaculations and a general cold sensation in the genital area.
I was so panicked and I wanted to find out which was the real cause since doctors didn't give me enough evidences. Everybody has told me that Minoxidil cannot be the cause since this product "allegedly" doesn't cause ED, but there are thousands of cases reported in forums on the internet.
I have tried, Cialis (which only worked like three times), Viagra, Levitra, Spedra and all those medicines used to "treat" ED, but none of them fixed my problem. I also tried vitamin E supplements with L-Arginine because I have a little fibrosis in my penis, but doctors say it's nothing serious. The only thing that has worked during a very short period of time was combining Cialis with maca and arginine, but after a week or so I started to feel as bad as before.
I also use a corthicosteroid ointment to treat my eccema that could have "helped" messing with some of my hormones alongside Minoxidil. Maybe that's what made it worse.
Now I'm using Sustain Alpha to see if I can get any results by balancing estrogens and testosterone naturally.
I will show you my last bloodwork with hormonal details, and I hope some of you can tell me what do you think it's messed up, even though it is between a normal range, and what things that are below average can cause me ED:
CORTISOL / SUERO
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 1,40 μg/dL (3,70-19,40)
ANDROSTENDIONA
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 0,64 ng/mL (0,40-2,60)
DHEA-SULFATO
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 211,3 μg/dL (167,9-591,9)
17-BETA ESTRADIOL
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 21,3 pg/mL (<56,0)
FSH / SUERO
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 1,26 mUI/mL (0,70-11,00)
LH / SUERO
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 2,00 mUI/mL (0,80-7,60)
PROGESTERONA
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ <0,20 ng/mL (0,27-0,90)
PROLACTINA
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 10,0 ng/mL (3,5-19,4)
TESTOSTERONA TOTAL / SUERO
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 2,28 ng/mL (1,66-8,11)
T4 LIBRE ( TIROXINA LIBRE )
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 0,96 ng/dL (0,70-1,48)
TSH ( HORMONA ESTIMULANTE DEL TIROIDES )
Quimioluminiscencia
RESULTADO........................ 1,18 μUI/mL (0,35-4,94)
As you can see, cortisol and progesterone levels are below average, but doctors have told me that this is nothing to worry about. Do you think so?
(Everything is in Spanish and I guess it's understandable, but if you need me to translate something, just let me know).
Thank you in advance!
