I would go seek out an endocrinologist ASAP. He should be able to help out with what's going on. Sounds like you have some hormonal imbalance going on to say the least.

Look up the member here "The Matrix" he is pretty well versed in handling hormonal problems and can probably either help you, or point you in the right direction.

Sorry about this my man, i have been through the same thing....I agree though I would get the matrix's advice on this, although the depressing thing is (but im no expert) is that the only thing that really caught my attention from your earlier bloodwork is that your estradiol was way too high, which would certainly affect your libido, quality of life, erections, etc.....although your T and free t may not have been optimum, those probably would have improved as well if your e was in check...not sure why they put you on hormones.....

Your dr was incompetent to put you on hormones. First thing they should have done was isolate why you are feeling this way by looking at the overall picture. Dr ask to few questions and jump the gun on giving hormones. 25 years old for god sake I can see red flags going up all over the place.

First question would be if a client or dr's patient I was working with due to this issue would be WHY? or What factors may have contributed to the cause of this issue. In dealing with many cases such as yours there is a simple underlying explainiation but due to the blindness of traditioinal medicine they can see the simpliest thing that are right under neath their noses. They do not have the time to dig for the answers and wondering why their patients are not getting better. Hormones is just one small piece of the over picture dr focus on while forgetting >75% of the rest. Unfortunately when dealing with many people on forums they leave out the most crucial details resulting in people good intentions turning one of the most dangerous weapons. So many times its the blind leading the blind because they do not have the whole story and making recommendations is great, but with out knowing the medical history and psychological well being of the person can be a ticking time bomb. So with that said I would have to look at the reason why your e2 went up. I actually have some what of a good idea, but it be impossible to analyze online issues.

Its like trying to fix a car with out being a mechanic you have the basic idea, but do not know where to start.

There are several factor in your case that I would have to sit down and really examine. As usually its something a lazy dr never looked past but wanted to perscribe you a drug instead to bandaid the situation. "Oh here is some testosterone come back in 3 months and get counseling" LOL

Let me just give you one piece of advice.
50% healing begins as soon as you would walk into the office.
I deal with people that have "disesaes" labeled by traditoinal medicine, I make the client under stand they do not have a "disease", but they are just imbalanced and its my job to find out why. The only guarrantee I give them is that I will do my best to help to bring their body and mind back into the proper balance so they are not just better, but well once again. I never want to get a person better (short term), but well (long term). Traditional dr's are looking for the hear and now solution (bandaid approach) rather then the long term solution..

I understand where you coming from matrix let me give you a little incite which makes its more confusing. only supplements I took on a regular or semi regular basics was a gnc omega 3 fish oil , and acai berry supplement.

I was at a high point in my life doing good in school , musical aspiration as a producer going well. having good time with my girlfriend. doing weekly aeorboics to lose some weight was currently at 215 , 5'7 built not superfit but had muscle defintion built like a football lineback. very much into meditation, karma, chakras etc. basically comfortable in my skin and starting to develop my career goals and dreams. I always had a creative, comedic thought process quick on my feet.

I turn 25 may 2010 and notice a sudden low libido , penis was still normal and function. talked to friends about it said it was in my head so just forgot about it. after bday try to have sex with g/f and penis erection is hard to attain. and when I did attain it reduced penile sensation which made me wonder what was up. went to doctors to say its all in my head, just eat right and exercise. I changed my diet to extremely healthy and exercise to still notice lack of muscle def/ increase abodomen fat. erection quality getting worse so was reduction in size.

started taking gnc men health supplements , dr lins & dr richards supplements not at the same time but during the 3 months of clean diet and exercise.


finally get hormones checked in aug 2010 low normal t and high estradiol seem to be the recurring factor. more test and more test , go to naturopath doctor during aug and nov dates to check for toxins , supplement for thyroid and increase testosterone nature. still having shrunken penis and etc during all this

find a bhrt doc in dec (which I regret doing) and start the bio test cream dosed at 1% 30 gm . 4 clicks equal 1mg. backed with chrysin for e2 :)*******:) dont notice any benefits. around week 2 notice penis and scrotum and etc shrinking more.

fast forward to apr 2011 , lost my girlfriend during all this , losing friends , missing out meeting new young chicks that dig me, demoted from my job classification, spending savings just to get quality of life back, comtemplating suicide for the first time in my life.

current doctor seems to have a right approach has me doing a detox diet for estrogen and to lose weight to minimize aromatose . but im still noticing penis/testicle/scrotum shrinkage and erection quality seems to be getting worse. so is sensitivity/ feel

Your cortisol seemed high on nov 2010 before you started the testosterone. You may have been suffering from stress. Your estrodiol was high too. Are you over weight? What is your diet like?

Tianeptine is an anti depressant that lowers cortisol and reverses the damage that cortisol does to the brain. It also increases sex drive. I've ordered some off the internet for myself. A study found that 50 mg of viagra every nite for a year could REVERSE impotence. I'm not recommending that you take these it's your choice if you do.

I would cut out all refined foods from you diet. Eat healthy. Try penis enlargement exercises. Get a penis pump, bathmate is good.

I went through the same thing in my early 20's.

Also you could be masterbating too much or you may be desensitised due to overexposure to porn (this isn't a joke, google it)

Try only cumming once a week and the rest just edge. This will defo increase your desire and erection quality.

Good luck bro

Look ... suicide is not the answer.

When I was 25, all of my self-esteem was wrapped up in my moisture seeking love missile too - and, well, it's not optimum but it's fine until something happens and the guidance goes out on it.

You need to realize that there is more to life ... that's first. You also need to realize that every sun that rises means more possibilities for you. So suicide is not the answer.

You need a good doctor. Go and find one. Maybe Matrix or someone can recommend a good one.

The problem is - these kinds of things don't just happen. Something is going on with your body and it could lead to issues in other areas. You need to find a good doctor and cooperate with him.

If the first one doesn't work out - move on to another.

Get your job back ... get your self-esteem back that is going to help a lot also.

I only just read the bit about suicide. DONT DO IT! I tried to kill my self when I was 18. I was sad and alone for most of my 20's and when I had all the erection difficulties I thought that I could never be able to have a relationship as I wouldn't be able to make a woman happy. I come through it and I'm currently with the same girl for the past 3 years. She has never cheated. I did lose my erection a few times with her at the beginning of the relationship but I managed to work through it. I took various supplements and did lots of exercises and cut back on the masterbation all of which has helped.

At the minute she is finding it difficult getting wet. She has low blood pressure and sometimes feels like she is going to pass out. She also wasn't into all the things that I was. However as I love her I will work through all those things with her.

If and when you meet someone if you still have problems they will stick with you as they love you. Life is short. Make the most of it. This problem will be resolved eventually.

I appreciate the input from you guys , yea im doing a detox diet from my new bhrt doctor which I have cut out all sugars , refined and everything, to lose weight and to cut back on amatose fat. its not just getting a erection its the fact that my testicles are shrinking as well as other health issues as lack of energy and etc. its seems that testosterone is a factor as well as estradiol and etc. what makes it hard for me I was at thepoint in my life where I reached my mid 20s and was comfortable in my skin I finally found myself as a person. girls flock around me now and the fact that I cant experience my 20s the way I want to is disturbing.\

I still have my job its just the fact I barely have energy or drive to work. I been to ****load of doctors for them to say its all in my head and to get my confidence up. or trying to throw me on prozac or any other ssri. if you personally know me Im a very quick witted, intelligent person. for doctors to say you are healthy when you are not is hard on the ego. I just want to be able to have a family and enjoy my life as a artist/producer.

HcG can bring back shrunken testicles after anabolic steroid use but can increase estrogen.

Massaging the testicles can increase their size so can pumping them. You could get a combination penis and testicle pump. The increase in blood flow will help the testicles produce more test and the pump will also help your ED. Check out a penis enlargement website Matters of Size is good. The bathmate penis pump is an approved method for treating ED. It ain't good for testicle pumping though.

i tried the hcg if you look at the test it did raise t but since the old fashion doc only took total test I dont know how my e2 was. apparently it was still high because more shrinkage happen when I was doing the hcg therapy. I want lie it did help with energy somewhat. its not only ed im dealing with my penis sensitivity seems to be getting wworse which has to be hormonal because no damage is to my penis. lack of morning erections and nighttime as well. Im trying to see if I can get clomid prescribed from my current bhrt doc but he wants me to complete detox and etc first.

The loss of size (everything) can definately be attributed to the increased estrogen. Find out what is causing that and I am convinced your problem will go away.
I'm not sure about that detox diet though. Protein is crucial for optimum testosterone production. Seems like I have also seen males have problems if they take too much fish oils also.

the only thing that really caught my attention from your earlier bloodwork is that your estradiol was way too high, which would certainly affect your libido, quality of life, erections, etc.....
I've had estradiol in the 60s with lower total testosterone and functioned fine, so a heightened estradiol isn't a guarantee of problems.

I'm not sure how or why yet, but in my experience, the amount of estradiol a male is able to function with seems to be related to his level of SHBG.
My SHBG is very low (11) and I find that I lose sexual function when my estradiol is over 15pg/dL. For example, I have blood tests that show me at both 27 and 37pg/dL, which would be well within normal range for the average male, but it was too high for me to perform.
It appears to me that for some reason, if your SHBG is higher you can function with higher estradiol levels and if your SHBG is lower then you need lower estradiol levels to function at all.

Thats believable. I just wanted to make it clear that what levels someone can function at are pretty individual, and there is no simple "aha your XXXXX is Y, thats why you are having problems" that applies to everyone.

The only time I've had this problem is when I'm on narcotic pain killers for extended periods of time. My estradiol goes up, as well as my prolactin (off the charts high). Prolactin seems to be my undoing, as my estradiol is commonly high. So what Easy said is very true, and it is very difficult for us to look at your labs and tell you what is wrong. I would keep checking my prolactin level if I was having your problem, but I also found out recently that I have a pituitary microadenoma according to MRI, which is releasing excess prolactin or inhibiting my dopamine (not sure which). This makes it difficult for me to transcribe my experiences to your situation. In any event, keep us updated!

P.S.
As a side note, do you remember how long after waking up from sleep, as well as time of day, that these tests were performed?

I went through a similar phase at 27, but no shrinkage or anything... just no desire to have sex etc. I was stressed and depressed from some deaths in the fam, had blood work done and some things seemed ok and others were off like test being low. Started going back to the gym, eating right, clearing my head etc... I was still having problems sometimes gaining an erection or maintaining it. But now things have gotten a lot better. I get stressed/agitated easily and if it's "one of those days" it just kills my desire still. But my girls has been very understanding, as there are other times when we can bang no problem, and then sometimes where just doesn't happen which can def be in your head/stress related as is my case..... but you seem to be having way more serious issues, hope you get it resolved.

I went to one of the best urologist around which happened to be in my city. He even had mentioned that in the last few years he's seeing more and more younger guys in their 20's with issues then ever before (especially lower testosterone levels), same with his colleagues out of state... they've said the same thing.

I believe the shrinkage you speak of is usually attributed to a marked decrease in your free testosterone...thats what usually gives us the "hang"....can't say for sure though.

Keep your head up, as I mentioned before been there, had similar problems...I was a college baseball player and basically had girls throwing themselves at me and couldn't do much about it....IT WILL GET BETTER

I would agree , my shbg always comes back low when I had it tested, so that would be a indicator that e2 is playing a factor with it. my free t seems to be declining from my bloodwork if I remember correct. I would be alot less stressed if I didnt have the shrinkage of package or testes, just no libido or drive. the fact that my whole body muscle definition is not how it was 10 months ago is another indicator my testosterone isnt up to par. I never even thought about the endocrine system or testosterone for that matter, but the more I think about it my energy level and libido used to be sky high. I dont know my pre bloodwork levels but I would assume they were at least in the 600 700 range. its like my body is screaming for more testosterone.

my prolactin is never high from the times I checked it. had mri and ultrasound of testes both came back clean. it seems apparent im am secondary hypogonad but idk what to do.

I wonder if the shrinkage has to do with the "stimulant effect". After taking stimulants (Ephedrine, caffeine, meth(past life), etc.), my mini-me always seems to shrink, and it becomes almost impossible to get a boner! Also dehydration does this as well. Do you drink enough water? How many stimulants do you use in a typical day?

You need to change your DIM supplement to the one I PM'd you. It is the only one many of us have seen to work.
Your e2 needs to be the same number that your SHBG is.

I have eliminated caffeine and other stimulants out of my life during these 11 months and the shrinkage still seems to occur. next month is my birthday it will be a year since all this happened.

Agree with Matrix, need to get more testing done, best guess would be free test issues without any more info. Can't treat yourself on "best guesses" however.

One needs a hell of alot more then that to know where to Begin

I would have to look at immune. neurological, endocrine, psychological, environmental, lifestyle and nutrition compenents in order to get an over all picture. Only a very few Dr's take an integrated approach.

What was done to help you get your natural levels going again?

Seems you were on creams, then on HCG, then nothing? with nothing to help you get back to normal?

Also doesn't look like its even been that much time when you were on treatment, it takes many weeks to get the full benefits from any testosterone replacement.

I feel better every week I am on (only 7 weeks into it, but I count it as 4 since the first 3 were on creams and didnt do jack)

Instantly my energy came back (I could wake up feeling refreshed, and not exhausted by 1pm where I'd have to sleep).

But gradually each week it gets just a little better (when estrogen isnt an issue like it has been just now).

Your tests show adrenal issues which I would guess have to do with your being stressed out by this problem. The answers are not clear yet but in the mean time you should try to relax and convince yourself that you will figure this out. I'm not just saying this - I think you will figure it out but it probably will take some time. So far your low SHBG and higher readings on E2 are possible issues to look into. The other point I wanted to make is about your shrinkage. This is almost surely just a blood flow issue. It is amazing how small a penis can get when the blood is not there. So don't take this too seriously because when you resolve the underlying issue this shrinkage should be reversed. Relax and think carefully about your next move. Don't jump into things too quickly like the T replacement you did.

The answers are not clear yet but in the mean time you should try to relax and convince yourself that you will figure this out. I'm not just saying this - I think you will figure it out but it probably will take some time. So far your low SHBG and higher readings on E2 are possible issues to look into. The other point I wanted to make is about your shrinkage. This is almost surely just a blood flow issue. It is amazing how small a penis can get when the blood is not there. So don't take this too seriously because when you resolve the underlying issue this shrinkage should be reversed. Relax and think carefully about your next move. Don't jump into things too quickly like the T replacement you did.
I agree, im at the point now like i stop stressing / putting it in gods hand. im trying to find a nutritionist to at least try to restore some vitality naturally. I would like to get to the bottom of this so I can start dating again . i exhausted my funds on many doctor test and trips. my body seems to correlate with my penis i have lost muscle mass all over my entire body. i kinda accepted living a shell of my former self.

Actually it sounds like stimulant abuse. Whenever I use any ephedrine/clenbuterol products, for example, I get MASSIVE shrinkage and prostate problems/problems urinating/etc. which resolve the next day if I don't use any stimulants. Another effect of stimulant abuse is an increase in Cortisol and stress hormones, in addition to adrenal fatigue, which could interfere with libido and fat gain. Do you use any stimulants? I would cut out ALL stimulants for around a month if I was in your situation (or until symptoms cease) to rule out stimulant induced adrenal fatigue. That would also decrease Cortisol, as well as increase libido and help any prostate problems you may be having (it's been a while since I checked this thread, and I can't remember if you stated if you used any stimulants and/or had prostate problems). Hopefully this helps!

sounds prostate issue related.
Need to have more information to know what direction to explore. IT could be this or that, but need some kind of concrete evidence. So far from a clinical stand point I have gotten about 10% of the issue.

Did you take finasteride or any other 5ar inhibitor?

Also, the matrix or anyone else - how common is it for this to happen to young guys out of the blue? i thought it was just guys who took something like finasteride who had such issues.

I have done almost every test imaginable , not just sex hormones . nutritional test , candida , etc. matter of fact i just got a chromosome genetic test back which state that im a normal xy male. the only thing that I could think of is chronic masturbation and stress in life before all these problems happened, when I think back the masturbation wasnt frequent i just used to last long time go for hours in one session(tmi). here are some thyroid labs I just got back as well

t3,free 3.7 (2.0-4.9)
free t4 1.18 (.75-1.54)
t4 7.8 (4.0-11.0)
tsh 1.050 (.500-6.000)

t3 129 (76-181)
t3 reverse 30 (11-32)

TRT def caused penis shrinkage for me. I love how I feel on Test but no doubt I have lost considerable girth. Even my girlfriend noticed. Before TRT there was no problems, even with low Test. My Estro comes in at 42 which my doc says is normal with my levels at 900plus. Won't give me AI. I'm also not on HCG. I won't dare use wo an AI anyway. But for me being on Test had this effect. I'm on pellets now. Was on Testim.

The human body is a complex piece of machinery, and it can throw curve balls ever once in a while. I see this in people that also have taken accutane or other medications which may metabolized by the liver same as finisteride. Some how we do not know but some drugs may cause alterations in Th1/TH2 and other immune markers resulting in Immune response. I am going to start testing ANA in this people because this will indicate and impact of auto immune disorders. If they do not have hashi motos and have high ANA it will alert me to abnorality which may indicate a possible reaction.

The loss of size (everything) can definately be attributed to the increased estrogen. Find out what is causing that and I am convinced your problem will go away.
I'm not sure about that detox diet though. Protein is crucial for optimum testosterone production. Seems like I have also seen males have problems if they take too much fish oils also.
What kind of problems caused by 'too much' fish oils are you referring to? And how much is too much?

did you develop a varicocele, that was my problem, had a varicocele after a screwed up extremely long masturbation session, destroyed my life, testicles shrunk to nothing, basically destroyed everything I was, I also hear you on Doctors and how screwed up they are by thinking it is all in your head, when people do not understand something that is what they say

i dont know if its the same thing or not but around 10 years ago, i had a small 'lump' just above my penis on the left side.
I went to the doc and he told me that i need to practice more sport in order to improve circulation and so i did. after a few days i did not feel it anymore.

I havnt read this whole thread, but I owuld suggest that until you get the health problem fixed, use a penis pump with maby some citruline malate or creatine nitrate or something. Dont pump it until you hurt your self, but getting an good sized erection everyday and really getting the blood in there probably couldnt hurt. Im thinking a good rule of thumb would be an erection at its old size for at least five minutes a day. Not a lot of science here, but its your penis man. Worth a try.
