Got my harmones checked and.....

[Guest guest]

here are the results:LH (Luteinizing Harmone) : 5.8 (1.0 to 12.0 mIU/mL)Testosterone, Total : 520 (>245 - ng/dL)FSH (Follicle Stimulating Harmone) : 3 (1.4 - 18.1 mIU/mL)SHBG (Sex Harmone Binding Globuline) : 20 (13 - 71

nmol/L)Estradiol : 86 (< 56 pg/mL) I'm still awaiting the Prolactin & DHT test results. From what I can see, it seems estradiol is very high and the rest of them seem to be borderline adverse. Not sure if the erection problems and low sensation can be fixed by correcting these values. I just looked online for the effects of high estrogen and found this. It seems to suggest that high estradiol can in fact cause reduced sensation, lack of libido and erection issues. "Through a variety of mechanisms, aging men suffer from the dualeffects of having too little testosterone and excess estrogen. Theresult is a testosterone/ estrogen imbalance

that can severely inhibitsexual desire and performance. In youth, low amounts of estrogen areused to turn off the powerful cell-stimulating effects oftestosterone. As estrogen levels increase with age, testosterone cellstimulation may be locked in the "off" position, thus reducing sexualarousal and sensation and causing the common loss of libido so commonin aging men . . . Estrogen overload is a serious problem in agingmen. One report showed that estrogen levels of the average 54-year-oldman are higher than those of the average 59-year-old woman. Estrogenis a necessary hormone for men, but too much causes a wide range ofhealth problems. High serum levels of estrogen also trick the braininto thinking that enough testosterone is being produced, therebyslowing the natural production of testosterone."

yea problem with estrogen can cause these issues. do some more reserch on it or

go to bodybuilding.com and do some reading, they talk about it a lot. it seems

that hormones problems are link to liver problems as well. I think PSSD maybe

somehow link to the liver impairment of some sort due to SSRI usage.
