I've just discovered that SHBG levels will determine what injection frequency is best for the individual.
My last two SHBG tests were 36 and 42, range 18 - 57 nmol/L

E2: 19.5 ( in my country no...
Are there any scientific/medical explanations as to how and why high estrogen will cause weak erections or "up and down" erections and/or a poor libido?
Also of note, why can PDE5 medications ( Cialis, Viagra ) mask or override high e2 and allow for a decent erection? Does high e2 do something...
