Avatar m tn Yes, you are absolutely right. Chronic opiate use does lower your testosterone level and thus your sexual drive. You may be over the acute stages of withdrawals, but the residual listlessness, depression and insomnia can last for several months. Some of it is cause by diminished hormones, but it will resolve eventually with time, good nutrition, moderated exercise, being in fresh air, etc... Do not despair, it will get better and better every day. Good luck.
Avatar f tn IE, vicodin causes it to lower a bit so they just dont think about sex, percocets cause it to lower more to the point they have trouble getting aroused and then oxy's just wipe the T level and the sex drive out? For the record, I dont think ah gives a rat's a$$ about his drive... I dont think he will even get the test done as he doesnt have insurance and he said the dr said it is VERY expensive... he just thinks it he needs to look like he is concerned about this.
Avatar n tn You need to consider whether or not you want to have children, if so, you may also want to look at adding some HCG in with the testosterone to aid in the atrophy and keep the sperm count within normal ranges. Lower testosterone can also add to weight gain (the tire around the stomach) heart disease, lower bone density as well.
Avatar m tn m just wondering, if the damage is permanent, is there any treatment I can undergo, like medications or low testosterone supplements I can take to increase my low testosterone and help me get my sex drive back and get erections without having to touch just to get one.
Avatar m tn Does Sildenafil or actually having sex drastically lower blood pressure? I made the following measurements and I do not understand the BP fluctuations? 1 hour after taking 60mg of Sildenafil - BP 146/94 After having sex - BP 125/77 In the morning - BP 160/102 Can Sildenafil be taken as a medicine to lower a BP? What might have caused such big BP fluctuations specifically after night rest?

Avatar m tn I can't tell you how to lower your testosterone levels but I can definitely tell you it is very possible to be a sex addict. You can get help for this problem by talking to your doctor who may recommend seeing a therapist and possibly in-patient treatment. One question I had for you is are you taking any medications such as Vicodin or other opiates? I am addicted to Vicodin and I know for me, one of my symptoms of withdrawals was becoming extremely hyper-sexual.
Avatar m tn Body fat contains aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogens, the female sex hormone in women. Having extra estrogens triggers your body to slow its production of testosterone. And the less testosterone you make, the more belly fat you accumulate and the more estrogens you have. Researchers have also targeted midriff weight as the strongest predictor of a condition called symptomatic androgen deficiency, or AD.
1999441 tn?1589741765 Estrogen is a hormone that can impact our sex drive. It sure does mine. Maybe start slow and go for intimacy over sex to see if she warms back up. They do make hormone replacement as well as an estrogen gel for lubrication that can help.
446156 tn?1275859576 Is this some thing to worry about. His sex drive has been lower too. PLEASE REPLY!
Avatar n tn You can talk to your doctor about other hormones such as progesterone increasing through supplementation. You can try to lower testosterone through your diet as well. Low fat diets are supposed to aid in this. But anti androgens are best source of meds to lower your testosterone. Here's a list of these meds to talk about with your doctor: https://www.drugs.com/drug-class/antiandrogens.
Avatar f tn There is testimonials everywhere on the net about it. It blocks the conversion of dht and can inturn lower testosterone levels. if u read up on propecia, the hair loss treatment.
Avatar n tn I'm not sure about the idea that sexual activity increases the testosterone level in your body. It seems like testosterone is at a level, whatever it is, caused by the hypothalmus, and does not respond to external stimuli. It's not adrenaline, after all. Women's estrogen level goes up and down, but not because of having sex. It does so for reasons of the body's own, and she just has to cope, if it is too low or too high. I think testosterone is the same way.
Avatar m tn Is it in my head or did I damage something having that much sex in a short period? Do I just need to rest it longer? Kinda worried here.
Avatar m tn Seldom morning wood, slow to get an erection, once I am ready I stay hard and good sized, sex lasts a good long time and both are satisfied....but turning down my wife or not being in the mood has gotten real old. I had my testosterone tested 2007 total was 297..my doctor did nothing. 2010 I have a New doctor now my test is total 453 free 11.6 My new primary doctor and I agree optimim total should be 800 free 18.0 Doc says my testicles have atrophied a bit. I have a PSA of 2.
Avatar n tn Hi, Your testosterone levels are within the normal range. I take testosterone injections due to having a lower free testosterone that 150. I believe that I only was at about 110. I believe that this is due to many cases of orchitis as well as the loss of my left testicle. Should your free testosterone have been lower than 150 the urologist might have felt that some form of treatment was required.
Avatar m tn I found that the intensity of the ED fluctuates. I feel like my libido is at about 50% right now. Having low testosterone has not diminished my muscle mass or motivation. Its just my libido. Girls are completely different now. They look pretty but never sexy. I don't feel any passion or desire. I had a ton of bloodwork done recently. My Endo is doing his best but he doesn't specialize in this sort of thing. He is used to dealing mostly with diabetics.
Avatar f tn A woman can have an increase in testosterone and make her have more masculine qualities such as chest and facail hair and a lower voice. You may have your horomone levels checked. The clitoris does become erect (harder and enlarged) for all women when she is aroused because there is an increase in blood flow to the area. This is normal. Good luck with everything.
Avatar m tn I have read that a varicocele can contribute to low testosterone and a lower sperm count. As for your hubbies testosterone levels the ones that really matter are the free testosterone levels or the ones readily available for use. I have other symptoms of low testosterone too so I am working on that. I retested my blood and I am waiting on my results. Anyway good luck and do let me know. I'm curious about my options if i face the same situation.
