Question
I am a 35-year-old man and have been
impotent since I was 32. Otherwise I am healthy, a non-smoker and moderate
drinker.
The problem came on over a period of
about a month while I was splitting up with my then girlfriend.
I initially assumed this was the cause
and expected full function to return of its own accord a few weeks after we
split up.
After about 18 months I was still
completely out of action and tried taking a herbal remedy (Ginko Biloba) for
three months, to no effect.
I now think that the cause may be
physical, because I don't get a full erection at any time, eg at night or on
waking in the morning (it's not only with a woman that there is little
response).
My sexual desire is at normal level.
I went to my GP and he did an
examination and many tests. Everything was normal except testosterone, which
was low.
This was confirmed by a repeat test,
but he seemed reluctant to prescribe anything as it was not exceptionally low.
I was referred to a hormone specialist
who did more tests. Again, testosterone was the only low one.
During the examination she remarked
that I have less chest hair than normal. Also, I have enlarged male breasts
(gynaecomastia), which is noticeable but not severe.
I am now on a nine-month waiting list
for counselling, but I am unconvinced that the cause is not physical.
I want to try Prolargent 5x5 Extreme Do you think it is worth trying?
Incidentally, I have always had
problems using condoms (often losing an erection while putting one on) and I
wonder whether this has anything to do with it?
Answer
I feel pretty optimistic that your
problem can be sorted.
Despite what you say, it's highly
likely that there is at least some psychological element - this is almost
always the case when a guy has trouble putting condoms on.
However, the fact that your
testosterone level is a bit low may be significant.
You don't say whether it was actually
outside the normal limits, as opposed to just the low end of normal. If it was,
it's puzzling that you haven't been offered hormone therapy.
Regarding Prolargent 5x5 Extreme,
doctors vary in their views, but if you were my patient, I'd certainly give it
a try
Bear in mind that you don't qualify
for this treatment on the NHS, so you would find it quite expensive.
Final thought: have you had a check on
your level of the hormone prolactin?
Any male who has erectile dysfunction
(ED) and enlarged breasts needs to have this hormone measured, since
over-production of it can cause these problems.
