I’ve never heard of T4 causing ED any issues. I use T4 with a combination of T3.

Hello Cooper, I do not think Levo would cause that. If you are not getting good T3 conversion and it is going to reverse T3 that could cause ED. Can you give more color here?

Mark - I am 55 and have been struggling with ED issues. I am on injections, numbers are good but even Viagra has not been real effective for me so just trying to look at all possibilities. The only medication I am currently on is levothyroxine so just searching for answers

Cooper, do you have a full set of labs including all thyroid for guys to look at here?

Definitely need to see a full thyroid panel.
Sounds like T4 alone isn't doing the job, but let's make sure with labs.
