Low Libido And Erection Problems After Taking Steroids. Erectile Dysfunction After Taking Fat Burning Pills. Any Thoughts?

Hello,
I am 21 and regrettably made the mistake of taking steriods for a month almost four months ago whilst at university. I have struggled with libido and erection problems since. The erections are back, but feels limp and I have no libido whatsoever. I took clomid as pct. What can i do? and is this something my GP is just going to look down at me and just mock me for being stupid enough to try steroids?
Since then, I have also taken a fat burner (pes alphamine) which left me again with erectile dysfunction, why would this occur again?
any help is much appreciated thanks

Hi and thanks for the query,
It s important you realize the importance of stopping the steroids. Its important to know exactly how you stopped the steroids. normally, it should be reduced slowly and gradually to avoid drug induced low secretion of steroids (Addison s disease). You should be patient enough because the side effects from this intake of steroids could take time to come to normal. However, knowing whether you have experienced such symptoms before. If not, you might have to contact your urologist to exclude any other causes low libido or poor sexual performance.
Booking an appointment with the urologist is a good idea.
Thanks and best regards,
Luchuo, MD.
