I can't get hard on medication. I've been on Atomoxetine, various types of Methylphenidate, and now Elvanese. I'm on no other medication.

Every single one, even if the dose is so low I'm not having any other physical or mental symptoms of the medication, kills my libido and ability to get hard. The only reason I know it isn't mental, is because when I'm on a low dose I sit in this weird in between where I have a libido but my dick doesn't work at all. With every upped dosage it's like a dial was turned up.

My prescriber doesn't know what to do either because not even viagra has helped it for me.

If it was just the erectile dysfunction, I probably wouldn't mind. But I'm struggling to enjoy intercourse in general, which has made my poor boyfriend mopey because he can't make me feel good.

The cherry on top is that the libido, ED, etc. combo takes 2-3 days to go back to normal after I stop taking my meds.

Does anyone have any tips? If I have to choose I'll just stay on the medication, since it has been life changing. I just feel bad for my boyfriend xD.

Moin,

ich habe eine Mastek und Hysto seperat beantragt, ca. 3 Wochen auseinander.

Die guten Neuigkeiten: beides wurde ohne Problem genehmigt. Aber meine KK hat sie als ein Antrag wohl an den MDK geschickt, und jetzt habe ich auch ein Gutachten zurück bekommen wo beides genehmigt wird mit... zwei Kostenübernahmen? Eine nur für die Mastek, die andere für die Mastek und Hysto.

Ich plannte beide OPs seperat zu haben. Ist das weiterhin möglich, oder muss ich meine KK für eine Aufklärung kontaktieren?

Why are my gums so sensitive?

I have good oral hygiene according to the dentists I've been to. One is the dentist I've seen since I was a kid, the other a dentist I switched to because we moved, and the third one was a dentist I went to to get a second opinion for my gums.

I'm 18 now, and yet every time I get told that they're just sensitive because of puberty. I hit puberty at 12.

My gums keep bleeding. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. It's not as bad as it used to be due to some changes I made in my routine, but any time I brush my teeth or I'm getting poked at the dentist, there's small spots that begin bleeding. I also keep having random 'cuts' appear on my gums (primarily on the top, behind my teeth) which I assume are from straws resting against my gums?

My gums are a healthy pink and aren't swollen. I'm at my wits end. Does anyone here have any input on what I'm doing wrong to be causing this?

Extra info

Medical conditions: I have mild-moderate congenital enamel hypoplasia. I have composite bonding on two teeth because they were very deformed, and a ton of fillings in pits and holes.

I have been checked for Von Willebrand Disease, Hemophilia A + B, and something else blood related that I can't remember the name of. All the tests were negative.

History: I had severe gingivitis from the age of 2-3 because my father was my primary caretaker at the time and did not teach me to take care of my teeth or show me how to (I did not even have toothpaste or a toothbrush). Most of my teeth were rotten down to my jaw and they were promptly pulled once my mom made enough money to bring us over to the country she was working in.

Routine: I go through my oral hygiene routine 2-3x a day (Clean tongue w/ a tongue scraper - Floss - Mouthwash - Brush Teeth). The 3rd time is optional and I only do it if I ate a lot of sweets, cake, whatever and my teeth feel 'grimey'.

I use an Oral B IO toothbrush on the 'Sensitive+' setting, and I use an alcohol free mouthwash (my gums felt like they were burning when I used mouthwash with alcohol). The electric toothbrush is mandatory, as I have dyspraxia and otherwise skip over spots on accident or press to hard in others which has lead to mild gum recession on some teeth.

I'm a trans man and freshly 18.

I will be having a laparoscopic total hysterectomy soon.

I have a question that my surgeon could not answer: Should I wait longer before I start lifting again? I regularly lift more than 2-4x my own bodyweight at the gym.

I'll definitely be waiting out the full initial 3 months before I even pick up a barbell again, but should I wait up to 6 months just to be sure?

I'm horrendous at estimating on when my body feels good enough to do something after an injury/surgery.

Hallo, ich bin etwas verwirrt.

Ich habe die Kostenübernahme für meine Mastek von meiner Krankenkasse bekommen und bei der Sekretärin der Klinik angerufen. Sie hat mir einen Termin für ein 'Aufklärungsgespräch' gegeben. Mein Vorgespräch hatte ich allerdings bereits im selben Krankenhaus, wo ich auch aufgeklärt wurde...

Ich weiß nicht, ob sie mich vielleicht missverstanden hat, und ich hatte keine Zeit um nachzufragen, da mir die Zeit knapp war.

Ist das typisch, oder sollte ich nochmal anrufen?
