I of course assumed that I might be experiencing a kidney or prostate complication, and that the lack of libido resulted from degraded sleep due to the frequent urination. I therefore consulted with a physician and completed both a urinalysis and male hormone panel. The physician was bereft of insight. The urinalysis was negative for bacteria; the lab results are listed below. GFR and PSA appear normal, and -- while BUN and AST are high -- these are typically elevated for me. My testosterone however is in the tank; for reference, last year my total testosterone was 900 and I had significant libido. Granted, I weigh about five pounds less (roughly 185 at under 10 percent bodyfat) compared to last year as a function of increased cardiovascular training and reduction of dietary fats, but it would surprise me if these factors -- even in conjunction with the sleep issue -- fully explain the complete lack of libido (which arose rather abruptly) and my lab score. Any insight regarding my labs or experience with similar symptoms would be appreciated.

[QUOTE="Transcend, post: 80365, member: 16461"] Hello guys, I've visited this forum for a few years now and just recently decided to finally register, in light of recent health complications. I'm 31 and have been a natural bodybuilder for the past decade. I completed a dieting phase a few months ago and developed what appeared to be a UTI when cycling back to higher calories. I had a minorly splayed urine stream, urethal pain, and frequent urination (upwards of 50 times per day at times). As I work in healthcare, I consulted with a doc and was given Bactrim for seven days. The antibiotic course seemed minimally effective, and I began experiencing other symptoms as well, including: (lower) abdominal distension (especially after weight training), lower left pelvis pain, periodic perineal pain, low back pain, and NO sex drive whatsoever. I of course assumed that I might be experiencing a kidney or prostate complication, and that the lack of libido resulted from degraded sleep due to the frequent urination. I therefore consulted with a physician and completed both a urinalysis and male hormone panel. The physician was bereft of insight. The urinalysis was negative for bacteria; the lab results are listed below. GFR and PSA appear normal, and -- while BUN and AST are high -- these are typically elevated for me.
