Sounds more like E2 to me.

I take DHEA sometimes but it causes some irritability so I usually stop

after taking it for a while. I suppose I could just take less but moderation

is not a strong point with me. Anyway, I do notice some nipple hardness

when taking DHEA and of course our own natural DHEA probably fluctuates too

and could be a factor with nipple changes. I am not suggesting it is the

cause of your issue - only that in a general discussion about possible

causes that DHEA is probably in there somewhere. My guess is that your

nipple response is from estrogen but just at a level where it has some

effect but does not create any real problem. Also, T hits the same receptors

as E so there could be a passing effect from a T spike as well.

Prolactin

[Guest guest]

Prolactin-- It also will kill your libido if it is

high. Supposedly if PRL is elevated and T is low, You

can get T to return to normal by lowering the PRL.

Didn't work for me though. Women's PRL is high when

pregnant for their breast to produce milk. My breast

were just very sensitive and almost felt like a

burning feeling. Also usually if PRL is elevated in

men, there is a chance it is caused by a prolactoma.

Not guarranteed it is. 25% of the population has one

and never knows it. PRL is also elevated after sex.

Suppose to be a way for the body to regenerate for the

next time- a reason for the limp dick after sex. A

good place to learn about this is
