I'm only 25 and my penis is completely different from what it was 1 year ago. It's all lifeless and shriveled up. The normal state of my penis now is what a penis looks like after a cold shower. It takes a lot for my dick to respond to stimulation and and only gets to 60-70% hardness which quickly deflates after 10 seconds. My balls have shrunken to about 50% of their normal size. I have almost no libido. My doctor did a hormone test and said there is nothing wrong with me but referred me to a urologist. The urologist also did his own tests and also said my hormones are within range. After doing research on my own, I found that my "normal" hormones are within range of 70 year old men. I have half the testosterone of guys my own age. My urologist refuses to acknowledge my research. When I asked him why the hell is this happening to me, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Things happen". He's just satisfied that I can pee and that I should be happy I get any erection whatsoever! He just compares me to the 70 year old bastards he normally treats. And the thing is, I can tell he's a youngish mid-30's doctor who seems healthy and virile and hitting on all cylinders. He's respectful but at the same time he just talks to me with this amused curiosity like he's entertained by my problems. He suggested hormone replacement therapy for the REST OF MY LIFE. I refuse to just accept my condition as it is and commit to lifelong treatment. EF THAT GUY. AND EF HIS DIAGNOSIS. I WILL FIGURE THIS OUT.



I am trying a PMO reboot. I am about 4 weeks in. I am trying to not think about my equipment and focus on life in general but I'm just hitting a low point right now.

OH AND MY HEALTH INSURANCE DOES NOT REPLACE HORMONE THERAPY. I know I don't want to give in and do hormone replacement but at the same time this is disappointing. Like these issues are not considered important to people. It's not just sex but quality of life and emotional well-being that are being hugely affected here.

Did u ever jelq ur penis? If u did u could have torn a fascia. U can ask for an ultrasound neither of your perineum to find a tear.

hey man, how is your overall health? You eat well, get enough vitamins and exercise. Have you tried taking natural supplements for your T-level, and libido?
Ever considered L-arginine or L-citruline or something, low libido is not only effected by low T-level, try taking the erection tea, not just good for your tool, but overall health aswell, there are some good results coming from taking the tea on a regular base.
Anyway, I hope someone with some knowledge on the subject can give you some medical advice if all of this is not working.
Eitherway I'm sorry to hear this and hope you can sort this out and get back on track and stay healthy.
Good luck...

Sorry for what you're going through. It's indeed very frustrating for you to be put in the position of a 70 year old, especially at your young age. And especially with something as delicate as hormones; I can relate a bit, since I was on an anti-androgen medication (for hair loss) multiple times, and abnormal hormone levels really can fuck with your quality of life.

There are a few questions I have:

1. Did you ever take a drug called propecia aka finasteride, or any other anti-androgen for that matter?
2. Do you currently lift weights?
3. What's your diet like?

In order to naturally increase your testosterone, you're going to want to do exercises like deadlifts, squats, bench press, etc. Couple that with a diet high in fat and that should help somewhat with bringing up your testosterone from where it's at right now.

Hope that helps at least a little bit.

Well the guy hasn't been here for 3 years so who knows. He sounded nuts to me! Just love it when us regular guys know more than the doctors!

Well usually when people leave and never return it means they have found a solution or traveled a 'new road'.
I don't see why you feel it is necessary to mega-bump this thread, though.
