I saw people who heal their gut also improve mental side effects. But can it help erections and libido too?

I don’t know if I have SIBO or something else, but my stools are greasy and float even with a healthy diet.

I still have low libido and ed (I have side effects since 5months. Tooks only 4 pills. I hope i’ll recover)

I’ve seen that a lot of people have a tight pelvic floor, but I feel like it’s the opposite for me. I have:
• more skin around the scrotum / balls
• my balls hang lower than before
• the skin feels looser / more slack

Does anyone else have the same thing? What could it be related to? Thanks

J'ai pris du finastéride pendant 4 jours il y a 5 mois et j'ai eu des effets secondaires sexuels le matin du cinquième jour (libido, dysfonction érectile, douleurs testiculaires, sperme aqueux).

J'ai toujours des problèmes d'érection et une baisse de libido.

Je n'ai pas ressenti les effets secondaires qui surviennent généralement quelques jours ou semaines après l'arrêt, mais plutôt le lendemain (je ne sais pas si on peut appeler ça un « crash » ?).

On dit que les gens ressentent des fluctuations après avoir eu un crash. Si ce n'est pas mon cas, et que je n'ai pas eu de crash, quel est le scénario le plus probable pour la récupération ? (Récupération lente ? Fluctuations ?)

Merci pour votre aide !

I took Accutane (Roaccutane) for 6 months in 2016 to treat my acne.
Could this treatment have an impact on my recovery? Even though I took it, can I still recover? Has anyone here taken it?

I’m really scared that it might be irreversible because of that.

I didn’t have any side effects at the time when I was taking it.

For info: i took fin only 4 days (1mg/day) and i have sexual symptoms since almost 5 monts now

Hi guys,
Following the tests prescribed by Dr. Berthelot (who is familiar with PFS), several deficiencies were identified:

• Vitamin B12
• Iodine
• Copper
• Selenium
• Manganese
• Coenzyme Q10

He prescribed me:

• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin K2
• Copper bisglycinate
• Coenzyme Q10
• Selenium
• DHA (Omégarthic)
• Magnesium
• Manganese

He also advised me to:

• eat healthy (avoid dairy products and alcohol)
• continue exercising (I run, I do 2–3 weight training sessions per week, and sometimes cycling and HIIT)
• get good sleep (go to bed fairly early: around 10:30 pm, sleep between 7 and 9 hours, and keep consistent sleep/wake times: circadian rhythm)

An improvement in erectile dysfunction and libido is expected within about 3 months according to him (I find it hard to believe — doesn’t that seem a bit fast?)

Context: Finasteride use: 1 mg for 4 days + 1 topical application (December, stopped 4.5 months ago).

Effects that appeared (on day 4, the last day of use):

• Decreased libido
• ED + morning erections sometimes present but weak, around 50–80%
• Testicular pain
• Changes in the scrotal/testicular skin (more relaxed)
• Decreased semen volume

Progression:

• Normal semen (3 weeks after stopping)
• Disappearance of testicular pain (3 weeks after stopping)
• However, panic attacks 1.5 months after stopping (lasted 2 weeks, now resolved)

Current symptoms (4.5 months after stopping):

• Still very low libido
• Still persistent ED
• Morning erections still sometimes present but weak (50–80%)

Note: I know my case is mild.

Do you think these deficiencies alone could be responsible for my erectile issues and low libido? Do you think I will recover?

Thank you for your help !
