    Comprehensive Blood Work for ED - What is Needed?

    Comprehensive Blood Work for ED - What is Needed?

    Thanks. Any advice on next steps here? What further investigation is required? More blood work? Iron? Cortisol? Ferritin? D3?

    Comprehensive Blood Work for ED - What is Needed?

    E2 on sensitive assay was 21. Prolactin was 8. Total test 560. Lab corp ranges. Free test was above mid-range, IIRC but I can't recall the exact value.

    It actually presented at the very beginning of the steroid cycle. Within one week. Symptoms are exactly the same, that's correct. It's been six months. I can't be sure what the values are right this second but I had blood work showing normalization a few months ago. LabCorp ranges. In any...

    Comprehensive Blood Work for ED - What is Needed?

    I've had ongoing issues with ED for about a year now. I generally have zero issues with achieving an erection and my libido doesn't seem to be a problem.
