I need some advice for my husband, please. He is 40 years old, 6'1 and around 220lbs.
Earlier this year we noticed his erections were not as hard and then sometime around March or April, he stopped producing semen. Now he just has 'dry orgasms'. He had a full work up in February and here are some results.
Free Testosterone (Direct) – 10.4
Testosterone, Serum – 429
Potassium, Serum – 4.8
TSH – Reference range: 1.230
T4, Free (direct) – 1.61
T3, Triidothyronine, Free, Serum – 2.8
Thyroxine (T4) Total – 9.5
The doctor made mention of his low testosterone, and I think he is definitely seeing/feeling the effects of it.
He deals with depression and anxiety, but nothing as serious as it was when he was between the ages of 19-31.
We are currently both stressed, but hopefully things will start to get better this month since he just started a new job.
During his years of severe depression/anxiety he was Dx with type 2 diabetes and he has gone back and forth with controlling it to not controlling. He finally started insulin around the same time he began having dry orgasms. I don't know if this is related. I thought he would have better signs of a sex life with controlled blood sugars.
We want to have children within the next few years and this new problem will prevent that. He also says that orgasms and being aroused feel different because of the softer erection and lack of semen.
When we have money/insurance again I'll have him do another lab work up. He is not 100% Peaty, but he listens and trusts me and I do what I can with what we have to implement his ideas. We are very low PUFA and have been for about 3 years.
I was thinking of having him start Ideal Labs, StressNon for the pregnenolone and vitamin E as well as the EstroBan.
He takes aspirin, Nutrisorb Vit. A, coconut oil, B12 complex.
He'll be starting B3, B1, glycine, selenium, and folate within the next few weeks.
I have him eat seafood (which he LOVES), fruit, OJ, and milk, as well as a few veggies, but he also is a meat eater. Not a ton of meat, but he prefers meat at every dinner...even if it's seafood. I've finally convinced him to eat a carrot in the mornings.
I can't think of anything else to add. How can we raise his testosterone and lower his estrogen? Which will hopefully get production of semen back. Is the StressNon a good idea?
