Need Help - Unbalanced hormones from Western Medication

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

A few years back a doctor prescribed finasteride for me, for hair

loss, althought I told him I was scared of the side effects and

didn't want it, he convinced me it was safe. Now after 5 years I

still suffer from the side effects. I am currently 27 years old.

 

The side effects include

-loss of libido

-inability to ejaculate and orgasm

-lack of emotions

-some errection difficulties (maybe related to stress and low libido)

 

After visiting numerous doctors and not getting the answers I needed.

I am currently seeing a TCM practioner. She's trying accupuncture,

and prescribing me vitamins and also getting me meds which are

suppose to stregthen my liver and kidney.

 

Her diagnosis is that I have a weak left kidney and liver and the

medicine might of affected it, but I had no problems with any of the

above symptoms prior to taking finasteride.

 

She recommended I take a shot of Chrysocor (suppose to help with

erections), but I wanted to see if anyone has knowledge of this

first, as Im still very scared of taking medications after what

happened.

 

She also wants me to take " Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan " Herbal Extract " Metal

Lock Pill to Stablize the Essence "

 

Ingredients are:

Sha Yuan Zi (Semen Astragalgi Complanati)

Qian Shi (Semen Euryales Feocis)

Lian Zi (Duan) (Os Draconis Preparata) 10%

Mu Li (Duan) Concha Ostreae Preparata) 10%

 

Suggested Intake 4 capsules 3 times a day

 

Im currently also taking Nu-Life Trace Minerals.

 

Western Ideology:

-------------------

In western medicine, my hormones are unbalanced due to use of

finasteride, as it supposedly blocks the conversation of Testosterone

to DHT, somehow this threw my entire system out of whack and today, I

have low DHT, LH (signals the testes to produce testosterone), FSH

(signals the testes to produce sperm), low Testosterone, low Free

Testosterone and high Estrogen.

 

From my understanding of western medicine testosterone converts to

estrogen and estrogen provides one the feedback loop for the

pituitary to send LH and FSH hormones to produce more testosterone.

 

If anyone knows what herbs or treatment methods to fix this, please

let me know.

 

My hormones

DHT: 37 Range 25-75 ng/dl (low for my age)

Total T: 462 Range 260-1000 ng/dl (low for my age)

Free T: 120.8 Range 50-210 pg/ml (low for my age)

FSH: 2.3 Range 1.4-18.1 MIU/ML (low for my age)

LH: 3.9 Range 1.5-9.3 MIU/ML (low for my age)

Estradiol (the strongest Estrogen): 59 PG/ML Range 10-51 PG/ML

(Estradiol levels are high)

 

Thank you!
