May as well run a full metabolic and thyroid panel.

FWIW, I've noticed that as I experimented with dosage that if I go too high they actually decrease and my overall interest drops as well.

 

[texastea]

That sounds like high estradiol.

What he said. Labs tell all. You should be a stone cold sex machine at the T levels you indicated...... I am on 160 (going to 180 this week) and 1,000 IU of HCG a week. I have to take 3 mg of anastrozole per week to keep E2 and E3 in line...

 

[John2211]

Ok...so with that said what is the definition or number of high estradiol??

 

[John2211]

O yeah.....and at week 12 no Gyno.... so it can't be estradiol.... I'm still feeling good and normal...

It could still be high or low estradiol, I know many in this forum do not like the lab corp E2 sensitive, but it appears they have fixed some issues and getting accurate results now. Some of us don't get gyno as easily as others, remember all of us are different. Erection issue are hard to track down, could be a med, could be cardiovascular issue. Ever heard of cialis, I suggest you get some, because it may take you a while to get the issues figured out.

 

[John2211]

If there is a cardiovascular issue...who do i need to see a urologist...?? endocrinologist or Cardio doctor.... ??

I would start with blood work first.

 

[John2211]

So far i've heard... Full metabolic panel and thyroid test.... Any others...?? Or can i get all the major tests combined all into one test???

And of course a full hormone panel, I like the E2 sensitive included.

pcn

i experience the same effect on higher doses of test cyp. i've experimented twice and realized less is more.

 

[John2211]

Any suggestions on the complete comprehensive male panel to get labs done....?? I went to AnyTestLab with all that the C male panel intels..and they said it would cost $1,635 dollars...:yikes:.. WTF

 

[texastea]

Take a look at privatemdlabs. I think the Ultimate Male panel is like $300.

How old are you? Height/weight? How big is your waist? What is your cholesterol like? Do you wake with erections in the mornings? Do you have anxiety during intercourse? These are questions that need to be addressed with your PCP.

There are many possible reasons for erectile dysfunction. I'm not an expert on the topic, but in the people I see complaining the most they've usually got some sort of chronic disease state like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypetension and sometimes in people with performance anxiety.

Run it by your doctor, ask for a specialist if he/she doesn't have answers. The boards are not going to provide you with those answers most of the time.

 

[John2211]

31 years of age..... 6 foot 180 athletic build* Do i wake up with erections??...not really...but when i wake up and think about sex or intercourse or stimulate myself an erection occurrs while laying on my back or laying on my side.....but it takes a while.Lets just say hypothetically speaking if my erection problem is in fact a metabolic or diabetic issue..... Is that reversable. I already take responsibily for taking in low glycemic carbs(Gluten free oatmeal and bulgar rice as carb sources). But my father has diabetes so i know what i need to do with myself/As i have read in articles... high blood sugar retard the nitric oxide process in to dilating arteries and veins... so i understand that part...... I gu ess a A1C and glucose test is in the works..

 

[trn450]

6' and 180lbs at 31yrs? I'm surprised your fasting blood glucose was 110. Are you sure you fasted long enough?

Honestly, I don't know how reversible ED in that hypothetical is. You'd probably have to have that discussion with a urologist. My understanding is that that type of damage to the small vessels is permanent, but I can't say for certain. Having said that, I'm pretty doubtful that you've got and endocrinologic/metabolic disorder being young and apparently fit.

The thing is, ED causes are very broad in nature. There can be structural (venous tears), neurologic, cardiovascular, psychiatric, etc causes. If it's a real problem, keep advocating for a specialist.

Also, did you every try cialis/viagra? If so, do those work?

 

[John2211]

I haven't tried those two...... but i have tried stiff nights and Gold reallas in the past with success on a empty stomach. But as of lately.. they are not as effective for me like they used to be.....

Have your doc give you a cialis sample.

 

[corvettels3]

it could be simply your calories or lack of. for myself, when I diet (2000 or less) I get some issues with erections. no morning wood unable to maintain. once I up my calories I'm good to go (morning wood etc.).. good luck brother.

 

[John2211]

@ Corvettels3.................. Thanks dude!!
