[QUOTE="Condrad94, post: 264175, member: 45920"] Hello all, I’m 28yo male in the US. When I was in my early 20s, I had a residual puffy nipple from puberty. I was very self conscious about this, being pretty deep in weight lifting, and my primary care physician prescribed an anti-estrogen without blood work almost immediately. After about a week I felt terrible, brain fog and erectile dysfunction came first. Then joint pain ensued and general anxiety/depression. I brought this up, it was dismissed as psychological. But I knew something was immediately wrong. I was a pretty happy person before, no anxiety whatsoever outside of taking my shirt off when it was warm (puffy nippy lol!) Another month on anastrozole and I felt horrific. I stopped it cold-turkey and symptoms resolved to about 30% improvement. But genitals felt minimal sensation, orgasms felt week, libido was week. This persisted for years and still has not improved beyond that point. I’ve gotten blood work and seen multiple doctor/andrologists who specialize in male hormones. All that was ever said was that everything was well within normal ranges on ultra-sensitive assays. I’m a father. I work full time. But i feel barely alive with these issues. To add, I’ve tried testosterone to no avail. I had prolactin checked by doctors as well. Along with thyroid, SHBG, cortisol. They tried adding hCG and no improvements. The test dose was 120mg weekly split in two even doses. I don't really have any low test things going on either. Full beard, lean, good amount of muscle etc. Tried going to therapy because why not. Tried Wellbutrin. No help. Objectively though, I no longer have morning erections or spontaneous erection. PDE5 inhibitors help get me hard, but no change in desire levels. And orgasms feel absolutely like nothing. Glans of penis feels numb as well. I had an EMG nerve test for pudendal entrapment and the results were inconclusive. Basically just trying to stay as upbeat as possible with basically the inability to have proper sex. I have an attractive and understanding partner so I know that’s not the issue either. Please, if anyone has any experience in this department, let me know your story and what helped you recover. Thank you [/QUOTE]
