hrt

Took steroids for 10 years. Not major doses just prolonged use. Been on Hrt for 3 years and can't seem to get a sex drive or a decent erection. Everyone seems to say test receptors are saturated but seems like something else. Doctor has me on hcg, and 3/4 cc of t twice a week and m,w,f anastrozol. Twards the end of steroids use problems w erections were occuring. Total test levels were 3452. Any suggestions on other things that may be causing this terrible problem.

With total T of 3452 this is not physiological dosages. These approaches are typical of anti-aging clinics which I tell people to avoid like the plaque because they load you up on every thing but the kitchen sink, then charge you an arm and leg for the drugs. Your thyroid is probably taking a beating from all this testosterone not mentioning your adrenals, kidneys, lipids and liver.

Drop the dosage to that of a normal human being and not superman.

T levels now are around 1000 and liver enzymes are normal. Estrogen is normal range as well. What other areas should I concentrate on that would effect sexual function and such?

I ideally use an integrative approach. I would look into neurotransmitters, Gi related issues, ect to find the possible pathology of the issue. People need to stop chasing symptoms but look at the cause instead. As mentioned before HRT is just a small piece of the larger puzzle to optimal health.

Would taking prilosec effect such things?

Would taking prilosec effect such things?

would.effects absorption of nutrients potentially. You do.not get reflex from high stomach acids Its.from.low stomach in.majority.of cases. Once you balance the gi system alot of those issues go away. I see it on a daily basis .
