omg 3 or 5 times a day is excessive! didn’t know that 😮

when i was healthy it was very common to reach 3 or 4 a night when i slept alone. In fact I masturbated more then i had sex, because to have sex she had to be willing as well, once or 2 twice was enough for her, but not for me. Maybe she didn’t want more because I was a bad lover:confused:

anyhow… i miss those days 🙁 having low T symptoms is so depressing, Libido is the force that drives life, without it, my life makes no sense.

Hello Doctor Mariano.
I’ve just found this forum and I was thrilled! always liked your old meso posts, you seem to be a very knowledgeable about hormones, and a very good doctor. I’m going through a rough time right now and I was wondering if you could help me out a little bit.

I’m a healthy 28 year male from Portugal that took 1mg/day finasteride for 10 months to combat hair loss.

Before starting the treatment my baseline value was:
TT: 906 ng/dl (241 – 827)

6 weeks after stopping the treatment my levels were:
TT: 556 ng/dl (241 – 827)
FT: 9.6 pg/ml (9 – 47)

15 months after stopping the treatment my levels were:
TT: 343 ng/dl (241 – 827)
FT: 8.5 pg/ml (8.7 – 54.5)

In your opinion, can the use of finasteride alone cause hypogonadism by increasing T and peripheral aromatization to estradiol, therefore increasing the negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary ?

I’m suffering from hypogonadism symptoms that I have never experienced until my finasteride use. Your input would be priceless and extremely appreciated.

don’t mean to go high jack HAN’s post, but i guess this a good place to ask such question.

Thank you so much for reading this,
kind regards
Zossima,
