Hi All, I have been having issues with ed, no libido, genital numbness for the last 5 years. I was wondering if someone could help be with my test result. Is it normal? Does it indicate anything?
24 HOUR URINARY CORTISOL
77 (12-468)
Your low DHT and E2 are the smoking guns for libido, ED, dry eyes, numb genitals and lack of sweating.
yes but what can be causing them? I never took steroids? finasteride? accutane? ssris? trt?
What would cause this to happen to healthy 21 year old basically overnight?
Why are you playing dumb? This seems to be a reoccurring thing where you acknowledge the problem and then six months later you’re back here asking what’s causing my symptoms and how did this happen.
systemlord,
I am trying to do things naturally, where I live its almost impossible to be on trt, and to be honest I wan’t to avoid it.
I dealt with the parasite I had, Im negative for autoimmune diseases.
Seems like my issues can come from adrenal fatigue, and gut issues. I was wondering if my cortisol test could indicate adrenal fatigue, thats all.
Was under the impression this test didn’t mean much. Have you done the 4-point cortisol test that measures at different times of the day?
I think blood cortisol is useless. First it came back out of range, then normal.
I just handed in a 7 point cortisol test so I am interested to see the results. I was severely undereating, overtraining and drank 4 or 5 cups of black coffee everyday for about 6 months. I am sure adrenal fatigue is a part of my puzzle.
I think the antifungal cream played a part in your crash.
Let me help you out with this one. It’s most likely genetics.
People always look for reason they’re not 2 standard deviations above the mean for Test, GH, etc…
The reason is simple. This stuff is approximately normally distributed, so half the population is going to be below average and a significant fraction of those people is going to be very, very subpar.
It’s not because you didn’t sleep enough, or because you’re too stressed out, or because you didn’t eat enough carbs for a time in your life. It’s because you were born at a low percentile on the normal curve for Test, DHT and whatever else.
There’s no special reason or anything like that. I think people just can’t deal with the idea that they’re born deficient. But that’s the truth. Some people are born with an IQ above 130, some with an IQ below 70 (the same number of people, actually).
We just can’t accept that when it comes to the hormone that we think makes a man more than anything else, we’re born the equivalent of mentally retarded.
