[QUOTE="ResearchIt, post: 219853, member: 43366"] At age 43 my body's sexual condition is not quite as good as when I was 25 or 30, but everything still works fine when I have sex. However, I hardly ever have morning erections anymore, I used to have them every morning. My nocturnal erections are generally ok, but also sometimes weaker than they had been previously in my life. And from time to time, even during sex, my erections are weaker, which never ever used to happen. Also my penis feels a bit shriveled when flacid, whereas before it was squishy and more responsive. This all started about age 41.5. I had a penile ultrasound done and it showed I had no plaque build up whatsoever, no scarring, no venous leakage, and blood flow was excellent, no ED. I am healthy, fit, low body fat, no medication, no medical conditions at all. It's strange to me that my erections started changing at age 41.5. Seems 10-12 years too soon. I wish I had blood labs from my 20s and 30s to compare to my labs today, but I don't. My last lab came back 702 TT, 14.9 FT, 425 DHEA, 4.6 Prolactin, 24.5 Estradiol Sensitive, 64 DHT, although my SHBG is on the higher end, usually in the high 40s. A 2.5mg dose of Cialis will make my erections during sex like they were when I was younger, but I still don't get morning erections the days after I take the medication. Every month or so I'll have a strong morning erection like I used to have every morning in my 20s and 30s. This leads me to think the recent change is hormonal or chemical, not physical since it can come back occasionally. Are weaker erections a big deal or not in terms of being a canary in the coal mine? Do you think the change in my erections is hormonal? (i.e. something that would show up in a lab) Is having diminished erections in your early 40s a condition to get treated and is it treatable? (and I don't mean with PDE5 inhibitors, but something that actually addresses the issue, bringing my body back to the way it was 5 or 10 years ago? I have considered trying legitimate shockwave therapy, but want to rule out a hormonal issue or other issue before trying that. Thanks for any feedback. [/QUOTE]
