  1. Endo put me on clomid not Test shots...

    I hope I can find a doctor with that level of insight, Spurfy. My emotions and relationship forming has been blunted or ground down to nothing. I haven't taken testosterone, but something happened which is still unresolved and unexplained after a year and a half and dozens of doctor and...

  2. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    Also, if there is pain, that means something is off that needs fixing. Unfortunately, doctors seem to just follow an instruction sheet most of the time. Find one that has an interest in your problem and wants to help. Or, just insist on whichever tests you think are appropriate. Don't take no...

  3. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    Hi abc, I don't sleep on my stomach. At the time I would sleep mostly on my back or my side. Erections always straight, nothing unusual. I don't know if accutane can do anything. What was the time scale - how long did you use it for, how many months after use did the problem happen? If it...

  4. Endo put me on clomid not Test shots...

    When did your problems start, could there be a link with the vasectomy? I've read there are quite a few cases where a vasectomy resulted in erectile dysfunction as well as hormone imbalances. Perhaps consider that there might be a physical problem, and it that it might be resolvable. Would need...

  5. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    I read a lot and started eating a wide assortment of testosterone boosting foods a week after it originally happened. I don't know if it had an effect, but there was no improvement in my condition. In my case, I am pretty sure something physical went wrong. The doctors just can't be bothered or...

  6. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    The suddeness is the strangest part. The only reference I can find is someone with a partial torsion which was then corrected. It regained its size after surgical correction the same day. If I can find a doctor who is at all curious about finding out why they shrank and how to fix the problem...

  7. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    I don't know. The doctors weren't forthcoming. Urine tests were fine apart from the day of the blood last summer. One recent one looked like names related to cancer tests, but that was a guess on my part, only saw it briefly. Had lower leukocytes for one test a couple of months ago. In feb I had...

  8. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    Like I mentioned, have you thought about using HCG? It sounds like it might help in your case. It can kick start testicles, and in some cases regrow them somewhat. You'd have to talk with someone who knows more about it. I don't know if it has the same limitations as clomid, or if it's be...

  9. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    I don't remember any injury around that time. In years previous I'd had a couple of knocks to the testicles that hurt, but no bruising or pain lasting more than a few hours. I had been wearing jeans that were a bit tight around the crotch. Due to circumstances I only had that paid to wear, and...

  10. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    That my emotions pretty much flatlined and I felt no pleasure impulses for over a year is another thing they haven't exp!ained. I read about another guy, megazoid, who had read of a link between the testicle blood flow and the vein to the kidneys and adrenals. I have a pain in my left groin most...

  11. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    Hi v4lu3s, thanks for your insight. As far as I know, I didn't have a varicocele beforehand, no symptoms and the testicle never felt unusual. One week after the shrinkage, I noticed a raised vein on the surface of the left testicle. At the time I thought it a positive sign, of blood flow. That...

    One other thing, abc111. Do you have morning erections, and are you still having sexual dreams?

  13. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    Cold shower will contract the veins and perhaps improve blood flow temporarily. Keep doing it. Have you been under any great stress lately, or in november?

  14. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    Did the ecography show nothing at all? Maybe ask the urologist to perform a standing valsalva check. Means he checks your groin for varicoceles and hernias while you are upright. He asks you to cough or bear down to increase the pressure in the area. Prostate should be checked. The pain at the...

  15. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    I'm not sure if I have lost seminal volume, it might be the case. My pre-ejaculate certainly reduced a lot, to almost nothing compared with before. How often do you masturbate/ejaculate? Frequency affects temporary volume.

  16. Sudden testicle shrinkage. No libido, fatigue. Varicocele?

    Hi abc. I took no medicines before it, and suffered no injury that I can think of. My best guess, is that there was a blood flow issue to the testicles, combined with a hormonal imbalance, and the endocrine system became out of sync and couldn't rectify itself. If your semen volume is low, it...

    Blood results from 1 month ago: progesterone - 1.81 ng/ml (0.63-2.15) cortisol - 15.9 μg/dl (7-25) estradiol - 31.24 pg/ml (11-55) FSH - 3.2 mUI/ml (1.5-18) LH - 6.1 mUI/ml (1.4-11.1) prolactin -18.08 ng/ml (4-15.2) testosterone - 7.68 ng/ml (2.5-11) t4 free - 1.69 ng/dl (0.8-??) TSH - 4.58...

  18. Need some help sorting this out...

    Interesting. Had you been under any heightened stress? Prolactin can increase nipple sensitivity. Maybe have a hormonal blood test and speak with an endocrinologist.

    Stress can do a lot against testosterone, it raises cortisol and prolactin, both of which have a negative effect if they are too high for too long. Find time to meditate, have a regular massage, sit in a park - and sleep 8-9 hours a night in as dark and quiet a room as you can make it. There are...

    Diet and lifestyle can do a lot for testosterone - if there is nothing physically wrong with you. Read one guy who boosted testosterone by several hundred points in a couple of months, with food, exercise, sunlight and good quality sleep. Maybe find out if you are deficient in any minerals or...
