Endocrinology for ADT Side Effects

Must admit your situation is quite unusual. I have never heard of someone having hot flashes when their testosterone has reached 400. Usually, they go away when people hit around 200. I’ve been attending weekly advanced prostate cancer meetings for five years and have never heard of this.

While low testosterone can affect your desire for sex with a higher testosterone you shouldn’t have ED issues Unless something else is going on. Do you really have no desire as well is ED?

Hopefully the endocrinologist can come up with an answer. Definitely a strange situation.

I’ve been on ADT for eight years and of all the problems you have listed the only one I have is the ED issue.

@jeffmarc Yeah, I must admit I feel 'special' having studied the matter for some time. The only thing I never lost was libido, but, that may be some form of 'muscle memory'. Hopefully, someone else on MCC is on the same path, but, it's doubtful. Endocrinology is just a stab in the dark and when I read what these people do, it's not about helping us, PCa folks.
