I have been on finasteride for about 10-years and had great success. Honestly, you can't tell my hair is thinning at the crown at all when it's dry and only mildly when soaking wet. Well, I recently entered a new relationship with the perfect girl, and low and behold, I can't keep an erection...

The only way you can know for sure how this is affecting your body is to measure your blood levels and to see how your body responds clinically. Know that tamoxifen not only blocks the estrogen receptor but also increases the body's sensitivity to GnRH and LH, thus increasing testosterone...

If you want to go comprehensive, you should also be getting: Progesterone Prolactin Estrogen, particularly E2 estrogen (i.e. estradiol) DHT FSH LH SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) Free Testosterone (not just total)

It's from Recomp Performance Nutrition. There's a thread running over at Anabolicminds if you all want to follow over there. Just thought you all might be interested. Here's the write-up: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/recomp-p ... ir-10.html

There is a pro-hormone called Superdrol that is known for being very friendly on hair. You're generally on it for 3-4 weeks if you take it. Just remember that taking finasteride or what have you won't actually save your hair during a cycle. Remember, you're going to be decreasing the total amount of...

Re: Well, there could be a multitude of causes for weakened erections. Elevations in prolactin, estrogen, and progesterone could also contribute. You are right, however, that DHT is the primary hormone controlling erectile function. Wiping it out isn't exactly the greatest thing for the ole...

What kind of anti-estrogens are we talking about here? DIM? I can't imagine it would be a good idea to use an aromatase inhibtor like anastrazole over a long time period...

Well, it would cause your body to shut down momentarily. You essentially have an androgenciity gauge in your body, and when you exceed that amount, your HPTA will slow. On finasteride the body is producing excess testosterone to make up for the decrease in DHT. Toss in a little DHT, and the test is...

Yes, it probably would. But then I guess you don't get to create catchy thread titles???

Aging at 29? I guess that could be a possible etyiology, but it would be pretty darn early. 2% reported first experiencing ED before age 40 4% reported first experiencing ED between ages 40 to 49 26% reported first experiencing ED between ages 50 to 59 40% reported first experiencing ED...

I've done a bit more research, and I partially agree with you. Yes, absolutely, the introduction of DHT to the body, be it topically (andractim) or orally (procerin? is that right?) results in systemic increases in DHT. I'll note that in the studies you cite, they're using DHT in higher doses...

First, finasteride typically works. It's really the only agent we have that seems to produce great results. That's great, but it has some pretty horrible side effects, or at least that potential. Part of the problem is that the body is deprived of what is an important hormone in DHT by 5-alpha...

When I first took finasteride, I experienced impotence and testicular pain within the first week. These went away in a few days. 10-years later, everything has been fine until the past year when my erections have been going soft about 20-minutes into sex at the age of 29. I'm having a few...
