morning,Yes Iāve had problems urinating an maintaining/achieving erections for a longtime now. Itās better when Iām on test but still not cured. I canāt get it up at all without test. My dad said heās been the same way since he was 30 in terms of difficulty urinating and getting an erection. Iāve brought it up to my doctor and he just prescribes Cialis and tells me Iām just depressed which I know isnāt the case. My dad has been down the antidepressant road and it fucked him up royally and I donāt think that was the cause of any of his issues either. His dad died of prostate cancer. I brought all this up to my doctor and all he did was check my PSA and said Iām all good. My dad said heās been back and forth seeing specialists and they canāt figure out the problem
I believe the last sentence you said is my best option. I will have to do that. Iām just wondering if he will just give me the run around and tell me the same things as usual. āToo young to have problemsā or āitās prostatitis and it will eventually pass. Which he has told me for more than 5 years now. Itās frustratingmorning,
I don't know what you are on but to remove all possibility get off everything, but if you need TRT to achieve an erection then I would probably keep that going.
A PSA test is great but you can have prostate cancer or benign prostate issues. I know many people who had normal PSA (even doctors often recommend not doing it as it can lead down a path of unnecessary tests, but it is the best they have other than digital tests), and ended up with prostate cancer.
Cialis should help with some prostate issues/ED, but if it does not - I would request a digital test as they can feel if it is swollen, any lumps to be sure. Not pleasant, but worth it. You can also buy good products for benign prostatic hyperplasia that have pumpkin, saw palmetto, zinc, lycopene etc. Prostate 5LX is one my favourite - have used it a few times.
If your doctor will not help you, demand a referral to a urologist.
never has it been more important than now that you advocate for your own health needs, finding a new doc would be on top of my priorities list for sure. If this guy is being so dumb about this one thing what else is he missing? You gonna wait till gallbladder falls out or something and he goesI believe the last sentence you said is my best option.
