Age of 24, take propecia. My sexual desire dropped, no morning erections, and my ejaculate volume noticeably decreased. After a month, and a horrible sexual experience, I through out my propecia. Now 30, don’t get morning erections. Rarely wake up and find my penis a bit enlarged....but this is a rare event. My sexual desire has greatly diminished, and if it was a 10 before propecia, I would say it’s now a 5. I do get erect during sexual intimacy, but the erection quality is maybe a 5/10, and short lived.
At 28...went to see a doctor.... My testosterone level was 350, Viagra took my erection quality from say a 5 to 7 out of 10. Now 30, and no change. Went to a different doctor. Testosterone came out to 305, and my response to Viagra was the same. He said that maybe the propecia reset my system, and now my body is producing less testosterone that it needs for the sexual function that I am looking for. He said that although my testosterone levels may be normal (even though they are on the low side of the scale), my body needs more. He said that he would not recommend testosterone because too many side effects. A testosterone level of 305 being low for me makes sense to me. When I was 22, I participated in a research study at school....and one of the things they measured was testosterone levels. At this time my testosterone level was in the high 400's. He gave me a urology referral. Can propecia be the cause?, 2) Although testosterone level of 305 is normal on the charts....can it be abnormal for me?, 3) If I try testosterone, will I become dependant on it for life? 4) Is there a way to have my body make testosterone more naturally? 5) Are there medicines that can boost my body’s ability to make its own testosterone, and once I stop these medicines, by body will continue to make more testosterone? I mean can I reset my system back to normal? 7) Can testosterone shuts down the testosterone I am presently making, and screw me for life.
