Everything is a disaster

It started with low T symptoms, so I went to a researcher/professor endocrinologist at a university hospital. Said my symptoms would likely go away. They didn’t.

Started having BPH symptoms and thought that lack of orgasms could be enlarged prostate so I mistakenly took saw palmetto that turned everyday to a mental struggle.

After I couldn’t handle it anymore, I went to about 10-15 different doctors that pulled basic blood tests and dismissed. Only treatment offered were antidepressants.

I started my career and try to work through mental fog. I lost every job I had and am constantly humiliated that I don’t have friends or even a companion. Family talks behind my back like I’m a freak.

Now it has been about a decade since the first appointment and I have a complete personality change and probably have fibrosis due to lack of nighttime and morning erections.

I saw the first doctor again this current year and he almost diagnosed with androgen insensitivity but after blood tests he said everything looked fine and dismissed.

I don’t know what to do other than pursue malpractice lawsuits to try and support myself financially, lost income, lack of home.
 
The first thing is post your labs. Not doubting that the doctors you consulted probably saw you were 'in range' and that was good enough for them. Not competent doctors.
If anyone on the forum is to weigh in with thoughts, opinions and such, labs are the place to start. Also, how old are you and are you located in the US or another nation/continent?

I agree, post your complete labs, along with ranges.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
