2 Months Ago I Was Given A Prescription Of Testosterone

default
Posted on Fri, 17 Jan 2020
Question: 2 months ago I was given a prescription of testosterone therapy that contained dhea in it from a doctor I was given a months supply at 600 mg per week. After I finished the prescription I noticed that I was having erectile dysfunction both weak erections and then premature ejaculation that is being caused by frequent urination. So after I finished the testosterone the next two weeks I was very sensitive in my penis and ejaculated quickly so I stopped doing the testosterone treatments from the doctor. Then at the three week mark the hypersensitivity left my penis as did the premature ejaculation but I was left with erectile dysfunction and a CONSTANT urge to urinate.

At the 4 week mark the erectile dysfunction went away and I have firm strong erections. but the constant urge to urinate has not left, so for the last 4 weeks I urinate probably every 10-30 minutes consistently for the last 4 weeks I have waited for a while for this to go away because this has happened to me before after taking testosterone and I visited a urologist last time. but I cant seem to make this go away on my own. So I am reaching out to your services to see if you have any answers because my sex life is on pause and I am exhausted from urinating constantly. And no I have not seeked the consult of a urologist yet because they cant see me till the 12 of January.

I have tried Flomax for a week

I have tried Avodart for a week

And 10 days of Bactrim

What would be ur next advice for treatment medicine wise?

Based on the facts that you have posted Erectile Dysfunction and Urge to pass urine frequently(OAB) that you have developed after taking Exogenous Testosterone for a long time is due to side effect of Exogenous Testosterone .

Frequent urge to pass urine is due to OAB .Start taking Anti cholenergic drug like Derifenacin 7.5 mg twice daily .

It will take one week to observe the results and get relief from urge to pass urine frequently .
