    How can testosterone affect cognitive performance?

    I would think that stress management is job one on this. I am a psychotherapist and specialize in working with men. I always go the stress management route first and if the client will do it, they always get some noticeable results. Moderate exercise, more if they want, good diet and sleep, and...

    Preservation of sexual function with minimally invasive surgical treatments for BPH

    The pros and cons of the various surgeries need to be weighed. Every one of these procedures runs the risk of retrograde ejaculation, and you may not be a good candidate for the surgery that you want. If you get the wrong surgery for your situation you are likely to need the procedure every...

    Preservation of sexual function with minimally invasive surgical treatments for BPH

    I lost almost all. There is some, but not much. I was not overly concerned, things had gotten real bad. The procedure involves laser surgery. The og in through the urethra and burn some of the prostate tissue to widen it to improved urine flow. I was under general anesthesia. Some do it as a...

    Preservation of sexual function with minimally invasive surgical treatments for BPH

    I did for six days after. I had the whole deal and was self catheterizinng three weeks before. Funny thing was I use zoom exclusively for work and I had the bag three days while I worked. I was able to work out a bit, as I work exclusively with bands and you can improvise a lot of ways to get a...

    Preservation of sexual function with minimally invasive surgical treatments for BPH

    I recently had Green Wave surgery for my prostate and have been very pleased with the results. It was done on February 11 and have had sex three times in the past week and a half. Not only was sex not impaired, but orgasms are noticeably better. So far very happy with the results.

    TRT and Serotonin

    This question prompted me to research. In my work, I can tell by looking at guy whether or not he is low T and if he has sleep apnea. I am usually correct and can’t remember the last time my hunch was wrong. There is a low testosterone and depression link, but there are other things I like my...

    I have stopped using weights and only use bands. My aviator is from this summer and I think you can see I am doing ok for 67 and hip replacement and shoulder surgery. You could still use weights for other areas. if you are adamant about the weights, this brief video called the shoulder shocker...

    Is Marriage for Me? Seeking input from guys.

    Great point. I am a psychotherapist and I see so many couples that lose the focus in their marriage and stay together just for the kids. What tends to happen is that the lack of sexual connection either morphs into something they are both ok with, or the couple suffer when it’s back to just the...

    Is Marriage for Me? Seeking input from guys.

    Sorry for my bluntness, but you don’t seem ready, at least not with the expectations you have. You don’t keep in shape for intrinsic reasons, you seem to do so just to snare a woman. This is a set up for a future dad bod, which is cool if that’s the look you are going for, but you only have...

    Combination Therapies for ED

    I do something similar. 5 cialis for prostate and 20 cialis and 100 viagra an hour or two before sex. I have doctor’s permission and it works fantastic. Thirty minutes or more is the norm, can be longer if I want, and it is great to be able to take my time and really enjoy the connection with my...

    Viagra or Cialis: Which gets you Harder?

    I’d try levitra and there’s also one called stendra that has been out a few years. I wouldn’t give up yet. The sides often work themselves out after a week or so. I hope you can find something that will work.

    Help - I think I have an ED problem - Dr says No.

    Thanks. I am having a great result with this regimen. Thirty to forty minutes has become the norm and I will definitely consider trimix if it comes to that.

    Overseas pharmacies

    I used All Day Chemist until cialis and viagra went generic. Never had any problems. Delivery took about three weeks to US. You may want to see if they got what you are looking for.

    Help - I think I have an ED problem - Dr says No.

    Yes, you do. Your doctor, who has not kept current with the research, is not treating the patient, he is following the cookie cutter approach of many urologists. You can take a combination of cialis and viagra if you are in good shape and have no heart risks. My clinic encourages it, although...

    Viagra or Cialis: Which gets you Harder?

    Yes. Sometimes I add 20 Cialis to the 100 Viagra as well.

    Viagra or Cialis: Which gets you Harder?

    100. I should add that I turn 67 next month and my doctor approved this regimen.

    Viagra or Cialis: Which gets you Harder?

    Combination of both works best. Low does cialis all the time and viagra before sex. Viagra as a stand alone works better for me than cialis as a stand alone. With just cialis alone you’re fine, but viagra turns the clock back 35 years for me. Testosterone helps a bit, but pde5 inhibitors are the...

    Need an opinion

    I agree that this protocol is dangerous and I have to question where you live. The doctor giving the psychotropics is not providing you good care and now the doctor prescribing testosterone initiates a dangerous protocol. OP. Good luck. Your blindly following this advice from these doctors is a...

    Need an opinion

    Of all the meds you are on, Celexa is most likely the one causing low sex drive. Wellbutrin is often prescribed to people that want an anti depressant that does not kill sex drive. In your 30s, maintaining a good weight is difficult. Exercise is something that I ask all my clients that are...

    Need an opinion

    You need a lot of education and the fact that you weren’t told or were even aware that these meds destroy libido shows that you have not done your homework and blindly followed some guys advice simply because he is a doctor. Not all doctors can treat everything and, as I noted, if the prescriber...

    Need an opinion

    You may think it is cookie cutter advice. Your opinion. I have been a psychotherapist and have worked in mental health and psychiatric hospitals in the Boston area since 1997. You can do what you want, but some one needs to tell you what you don’t want to hear. You want a quick fix, but have...

    Need an opinion

    You have no sex drive due to the psychotropic medications and the low range testosterone. Those are quite a few medications. Whoever is prescribing them should have suggested a good therapist and some cognitive behavioral therapy. This is more than likely what’s killing your libido. A PCP or...

    Elderly men over 65 years of age benefit as much from testosterone as young men

    89 is the goal. Congrats on moving the aging goalposts. I am 67 in m March and on TRT four and a half years. Still battling orthopedic problems, but at least I still look decent. Sex drive comparable to in my 30s and sex three times per week. I do some kind of workout every day. I think older...

    Long-term treatment of ED: beyond the purely symptomatic use of PDE5I

    As far as the psychological interventions, it is amazing what men don’t know that could help them with ED. For many guys, just learning how prevalent ED is is helpful. The internet has done a lot of damage to young men as well, setting up unrealistic expectations and creating anxiety. The take...

    EFFECT OF T-PROP ON A POST-PUBERAL EUNUCH (1937)

    This reminds me of the Hemingway novel, The Sun Also Rises, where the main character is also damaged during the war and cannot function sexually. If this was more well known then, maybe Hemingway would have ended up an unknown reporter with a drinking problem. Great find madman!

    BPC 157 for Joint Healing

    Actually, a four out of five average review from 62 users is about right. Oral BPC is not BPC 157. 157 is an isolated peptide and the pill has more than just that. It also needs to be taken consistently and needs about three weeks for you to tell if it will work for you. I am in partial...

    BPC 157 for Joint Healing

    NSAIDS are not to be taken over long periods of time, BPC tablets can be taken. I have been through the arthritis wringer of meds for over 20 years. *** works, but is not a great bang for the buck or as effective. BPC is systemic, but for tears it is better to inject as more goes to where it is...
