Rogain gave me erectyle disfunction

hey guys, just got back from the urologist,
little backstory for people who dont know.

took rogain for 2 weeks, been suffering 3 months of ED so far, no morning or nighttime boners and very low libido and also shrunk my flacid dick (in terms of girth). im only 21 and never had any problems before taking rogain.

so anyways, i went to the uroligist, explained everything even the zinc i took for 2 months. he basically told me he cant do anything about it. he just told me to stay away from supplements, eat healthy and drink lots of water and exercise regularly.

very upset and disillusioned at this point.

idk what to tell u breh

it worked for me

Using Rogaine for beard growth. Anyone else get moles when they started using Rogaine?

yeah i know most ppl dont get these side effects, its just leaving me so depressed and i hate my self for not doing the research. 3 months go by still no morning wood :'(

>Using Rogaine for beard growth
autism

Urologist? They don't know jack about hormones. Go get a hormone panel and see if something is fucked. That's what usually fucks your dick.

I've been using it for about 6 years just to keep the hair I already have and it's been great. My brother is 3 years older than me and has been bald for a while without using it. I've never noticed side effects from Rogaine but when I tried proscar it obliterated my test and took me over a year to recover back to normal levels. Never again.

yea i was still afraid of having something wrong with my dick, cause it shrunk and it still hasnt come back to full size yet, i think it fucked up the blood flow to my dick considering rogain is a heart medication. i need to arrange a dr appointment tomorrow for an endo

how long did you take proscar for bro, that shit is nasty stuff. glad to hear u havent had any adverse side effects from rogain, looks like rogain only effects a minority in regards to sexual health.

Hey OP
you start this thread almost on a daily basis at this time. That's fine with me but if this is a serious story... have you tried testosterone ?
Whether it's prescribed test from a doctor (TRT) or ''illegal'' stuff from a meathead, you should give it a try.

yeah i havent tried test yet, thats like my last option desu. if all else fails i will jump on TRT or something. yes its a serious story and im very afraid i have done permanent damage. im stressed out of my mind

We're talking about Minoxidil right? Anyone else get moles using this?

dont use it on ur beard/face, it will age the fuck out of ur skin. ur rubbing alcohol on ur face brah...

ok... well what steps have you done to fix the problem ? any supplement or medecine or whatever ?

>Rub shit on head
>Other head shrinks
???

Hey OP, you know rogaine is topical right? You're supposed to put in on your body, not eat it.

Try not eating the damn stuff and see if that helps.

Also, don't use it on or near your dick, moron.

I took it for 9 weeks. I didn't really make the connection of why I was tired all the time until my physical and and me levels were so low. Dr wanted to put me on TRT but I wanted to quit the pills first and see what happened. Turns out that's what it was.

YOU FAGGOT AGAIN ?!?!

Nigga we told you in the last 5 shitposting threads you've been spamming.. YOU HAVE CANCER, GO SEE A DOCTOR !!!

well im so glad to hear u have made a full recovery, you are one of the lucky ones bro, im sure u know that. great news

ik it still abosrbed into my blood stream though bro...

well ive tried tribilus, which helped my sex drive. but i took a break from all supplements for the mean time just to see if i notice any improvements naturally.

anyone?

Fuck you an this thread. Go see a psychologist.

medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/hypochondriasis

theres evidence is causes ED

Just become a monk

Use your lack of libido to reach enlightenment

Or have a full on blood test to check your hormones

I saw the one you posted, but you need to have Free T and Total T, not just T.

Having SHBG and DHT would be great as well.

BTW if you do go down the TRT path, push for injections rather than gel.

But try just living clean for a while (3 months at least) and see how that goes.

Do the C25k program and take L-Citrulline for blood flow.

Follow the advice on the anabolic men test increase guide I posted.

Having better cardio will help a good bit. As will eating properly -- I saw you post that you only eat nuts and protein shakes, this is an awful diet. You need a good amount of full carbs, monounsaturated and saturated fats, cholesterol, and protein.

Ashwagandha is good for you hormones, and is good for stress.

Chamomile tea is great for anxiety from my experience.

FUCK ur beautiful bro, thank u so fucking much for all ur advice. going to apply every single bit of ur advice, thnk you bro so much. i made this new thread cause few brahs wanted an update on my situation. yeah my appetite just has been non existant cause im so dam nervous and anxious about where my life is heading. i will definitely up the calories. seriously, you made my day with ur response bro. wish more Veeky Forumsizens treated serious threads the way u do, ur a very compassionate and understanding man, you will go far with this trait. god bless you bro, thank you once again!

Stop the rogaine, if you haven't
Do you have low bp?
Rogaine was originally developed as a bp lowering drug, and hair grow was a side effect.

No problem man

Remember to try to be happy with what you've got, learn to accept your current condition for what it is. Do what you can.

what is BP bro?

>he basically told me he cant do anything about it
Fuck.

I've had a similar reactio to stimulants and worried as fuck I'll never get back to normal.

Wait so it was the rogain, not the zinc?

Cause I've read all your other threads and you blamed it on all the zinc?

Blood pressure
Rogaine was originally made as a heart medication, ergo it affects BP, and blood flow to your benis
>person is using rogaine
>they're having a heart attack
>EMT's are not supposed to give them nitroglycerin even in said case

yea i thought it was initially the zinc, but realizing i only got the symptoms as soon as i used the rogain, and i found 100+ men talking about getting exact same side effects from using rogain. the zinc wouldve played a role in this forsure, however i have balanced my zinc/copper levels, so i should be fine if it was only the zinc/copper.

so yeah its the rogain, i read some dude took rogain for only 5 days and he still suffers 5 years later. its a very rare response to rogain, however it does happen. its the scariest shit ive gone against in my life, and every day is a struggle to keep moving forward.

im sure u will be fine from stimulants, its only ur heart/blood pressure playing up? that can easily be treated with healthy diet, lots of water and some nice exercise. stay healthy bro, i will be trying to do the same

i think it has done something to my blood pressure because my hands go numb randomly in the night. and it shrank my dick, so it definitely did something in regards to blood circulation. and i get dizzy quite easily,

>hands go numb randomly
Yep, that'll do it. You better be off the rogaine, and you should start/do more cardio.
Order some yohimbine as well, it raised blood pressure.
Idk where it's cheap, powdercity stopped selling it because it's illegal in australia/canada, but it's bretty cheap in bulk powder form

why is it illegal? im very cautious of what else i will put in my body after this mistake, is it safe?

There was this guy recently who fucked up his dick with some superdoses of zinc (he said 60mg daily). What was your zinc intake?

Yeah it's safe. It's illegal because it increases lipodosis (fat burning), and there are idiots in the world

bro im the same guy who was taking 60mgs of zinc, but i found out that it was the rogain causing my ED not the zinc

u sure thatll be the best thing for my situation bro? maybe naturally increasing or decreasing, (which ever is more beneficial) my blood pressure would be better?

oh, that's funny. Still, it's good to have that clarified.

yea, least ik how to approach it better, pray for me brahs.

would it keep my blood pressure increased and ill keep getting my boners or will i have to stay on it?

It's hard to 'naturally' increase you bp. Cardio will help tho.
If it makes you feel better, I take yohimbine.
The 'recommended' dose for me is ~11mg, I take 20mg currently, and gonna up it again to 25mg in a week. The first time I took it, and whenever I up my dose I feel a lil queesy that day, a lot of people compare the feeling to the flu (people who have never had the flu).
My normal heart rate is about 75, and it jumps up to ~100 when I increase, but just for that day. The next day/near the end of the first day i'm feeling back to normal.
Oh and i'm naturally hypotensive (low bp) and now it's up to normal, even on days that I forget to take it. The bp boost has lasted for at least 3 days while not taking it.

only 3 days? i just wish to be natty bro, do u take yohimbine for erections also? or just for better well being, etc?

Just overall wellness, I've been taking it for 3 months, but 3 days is just the longest i've taken a break from it, mainly because I forgot. The studies I posted show it helps with fat loss, so that's another reason.
>I don't have a penis
>But I do getter wetter than I used to.
Obviously there goes all my credentials, but I am an emt student, so there's that I guess

>its only ur heart/blood pressure playing up?
No my dick/libido.

I used to be horny all the time (and this when I was 40kg overweight/eating shit, etc). I'm only 28 and don't wake up with morning wood anymore. Doctors don't give a shit. Mentioned how I cum hardly anything now/don't shoot like I used to and the doctor (an Indian woman no less) said "Men don't shoot far".

I'm a fucking faggot who grew up in the age of the internet, I've watched hundreds of guys shoot fucking far. I've fucking shot far watching them shoot far!

i been talking to one of my online mates who been suffering from PFS, (post finastride syndrome) i showed him my blood work and he reckons my TSH is very high for a 21 year old

TSH: 3.7 mIU/L ( 0.30 - 4.00 )

we were talking and he reckons i may have an underactive thyroid from the rogain or zinc perhaps.

nhs.uk/Conditions/Thyroid-under-active/Pages/Symptoms.aspx

all my symptoms match, so could that perhaps be a lead? ik alot of symptoms for other diseases overlap, however it makes sense

perhaps u fucked ur thyroid up like me? maybe ur in the same boat as me? get bloodwork done and we can discuss it bro

Jesus fuck, hop on test, hop on an ai, hop on cialis and call it a day. Stop being a faggot and do something productive.

i like ur attitude brah, im just trying to get to the cause of this

On the ritalin my eyebrows did fall out (as too did my hair) by my thyroid came back normal, although I don't think I got the full test.

Just had a wank and barely ejaculated anything. I feel there's a block or something. I have one of those funny 'wrapped around' veins in my scrotum but when I went for my ultrasound they just sent me home, said it was nothing to worry about.

u got varicocele in one of ur testicles, apparently that can make u infertile or inhibits sperm. i just had a wank also, my erections are getting harder and more dense in weight (they been lighter since the start of this shit) however i aquired premature ejaculation from rogain also lool. ur eye brows falling out is a sign of high/low functioning thyroid. how long did take ur eyebrows to fall out?

in a way this

I know we all like doing things the natural way

but there's no better way of upping test than getting on test

>how long did take ur eyebrows to fall out?
Most of the side effects started after a month but the decrease in ejaculation started an hour after the first pill.

>u got varicocele in one of ur testicles
On the pills it 'went away' or, at least, I didn't feel it but when I went back on the ritalin for a bit, then got off, it came back with a vengance and that plus my prostate started aching something wicked.

no there isn't, you're mixing it up with finstaride you moron.

Nigga this is why you always taper in your drugs slowly to see if there are any adverse side effects. Thankfully you seem to have done mankind a favor and removed yourself from the gene pool.

Pic fucking related.

Minoxidil was originally a blood pressure medication.
