thyroid and ed

The meds you take have been shown to help some men with ED, but a lot depends on the cause of it. If your ED is being caused by high blood pressure or thyroid issues, it could help. Have you spoken with your doctor about it yet? Are your blood pressure and thyroid being monitored?

Get checked for thyroid problems or diabetes. Try L-arginine.

Since the symptoms of low thyroid and low T are so very similar (and i have them all) I think they want to see if my thyroid levels stabilize first… But any thoughts on the testosterone levels would be welcome!!!

this endo said we dont treat patients until there at 10! and that as long as im in range im fine. my thyroid antibodies are greatly elevated as well. 650 with the normal scale less than 35. for the past 8 months ive been having weakened erections. they got much worse in the last 3 months. there really weak now. i was wondering has anyone had impotence due to an underactive thyroid? could this be my issue? my total testosterone isnt amazing but not bad either. its at 490.

TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many variables that at best it should be considered as an indicator, to be considered along with more important indicators such as symptoms, and also the biologically active thyroid hormones, free T3 and free T4 (not the same as total T3 and total T4).

I went to the doctor and then all of this started. I am a 25 year old male 280lbs and I used to smoke cigarettes and marijuana. I started having erection problems about 4 years ago. It was once in a while not all the time. Now it is still the same situation. I can masturbate with no problem I get erections when I am asleep I dont know how often but my girlfriend and i checked a couple of times I get morning wood sometimes but not always like before. I take viagra sometimes.

I would recommend testing for thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb). Some men with hypothyroidism may complain of ED. Also, vitamin E is known as the "sex" vitamin and shown to help with ED. Gynecomastia may be due to lifestyle factors which include alcohol abuse, amphetamine or heroin use, marijuana use and steroid use.

I cannot think properly, feel like I have a tight tie on, always cold and am stiff and sore. Oh, and have half the hair I used too.

com - Mary Shoman is the guide and she is a patient as well as an advocate of thyroid disorders. She has a book called Living Well With Hypothyroidism. I'm sure as Applecore said Graveslady would have a wealth of info as she has battled thyroid disorder for quite some time.

i was diagnosed with a varicocele (both testicles) and i dont think i have ED, but my libido id lower and testicles smaller. my urologists does not believe me, however. he says they are in a "normal range" so i shouldnt concerned. but i am concerned b/c they are smaller to me, and he doesnt take me seriously! he finally got bloodwork done adn testosterone levels came back "normal". i havent seen the results myself, so i cant really say where i fall in that range.

The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa. Damage to nerves, arteries, smooth muscles, and fibrous tissues, often as a result of disease, is the most common cause of ED.

I was told by the ED doctor that the blood was coming from my uterus and there was thickening on the wall. I also had a cyst which she said is causing the pain. She referred me to an obgyn to have a biopsy done. I have not had a pelvic exam since 2008 and results were normal. ED doctor said that it does not look like I should be in menopause maybe because it appears I still have some estrogen? She wonders why my periods stopped.

I haven't been on here since I was 61..still have the same problems with ED. My second wife also has a problem. She is unable to have an orgasm unless she manually stimulates herself and she says she feel nothing when someone 'plays' with her breasts, they do nothing for her. She says she has been this way since she started having sex at 14.

I took her out and her lips were blue so she had Albuteral and Benadryl it did really help and she was taken to the hospital were they thought it might be allergic reaction and she was given steroids and released in the morning. That day she started having chest pain. She was given another two courses of steroids and was told that the chest pain was nothing. The chest pain increased and we have had a chest X-ray, EKG, and blood work.

The proper physician to see to diagnose your ED is a urologist who specializes in ED. The most common cause of ED is probably diabetes, and since most guys ignore their health until it affects the thing they care about - their erections - this is often what causes them to find out they have something like diabetes or thyroid disease.

I was diagnosed with Grave's over two years ago. The racing heart (machine gun) and goiter were the first signs, but then came anger. I was put on Endurol (?) and Tapazole and after each blood test the doctor decreased my dose. I could feel symptoms coming back but she kept saying the test results were OK. Early on I was wrestless all the time and hungry. Couldn't stop or rest. Eventually she took me completely off the medicine.

If the cause of your ED is thyroid, it should resolve along with the rest of your symptoms. Of course, I have no personal experience (i'm female), but it would seem to me that if you are "feeling very well" (i.e. all your other symptoms have gone away), then your ED should have gone away also.

i went to the lab for blood work and discovered my thyroid was hypo, i had low T, and my estrogen was high. Ive been on armour thyroid 90mg for about 4 months and seen no improvements. i have a reoccurring pain in my thyroid, it gets much more intense after i masterbate, the brain fog also gets worse too. i still have no sex drive and i can only sometimes get an erection (usually if i haven't masterbated in awhile). I'm going to get my blood checked again in october.

See the doctor to get checked for routine problems like diabetes and thyroid problems. Erections are a man's health barometer. The only issue I've heard about masturbation are that masturbating prone can damage nerves. Otherwise it should not cause problems. You can try taking supplements. L-arginine is the first one to add. Start working out to build muscles and strengthen your heart and lungs.
