get your testosterone, free testosterone, shbg, and most importantly estradiol tested to just get a good idea where you are

Anybody have any advice for treating erectile dysfunction?
Figuring out what is causing it can be helpful. It could be neurological (due to excess ROS, due to PUFA, iron, elevated FFAs, stress hormones, etc.), vascular (due to excess ROS, NO, estrogen, etc.), hormonal, neurotransmitter related (dopamine, serotonin, etc) or mechanical.

Eliminating gut irritating foods, balancing blood sugar, lowering stress hormones, eating a diet rich in all the micronutrients, optimizing sleep, etc., is a good place to start.

Is estradiol blood test accurate? Have heard different things about estrogen blood tests.

nofap, no porn & optimize hormones
Might be a part of it perhaps, but not sure. I get no morning wood and no random erections, but I am able to get weak ones when watching pornography. Have you tried it yourself?

Thank you Hans! Do you know some ways to find out what the cause can be? My iron is good at least and I doubt it can be PUFA since I have been restricting since 2016. I do take some DHA from time to time, but had issues even before starting it. Also have been taking good amounts of Vitamin E and niacinamide, defibron for a long time.

Most likely prolactin. Try boosting dopamine and you will lower prolactin. Low dose dhea does the job in boosting dopamine or you could try piracetam and or bromocriptine. Some people became sex addicts from bromocriptine.

Do you know if you can measure prolactin with regular blood test? DHEA is illegal in my country so cant really try that, but I tried gonadin with only very little results.

Yes, you can measure it. Do it.
What country are you from?

Have you tried it yourself? I eat cumin frequently which contains a lot of salicylic acid and I have tried full doses TocoVit with no results.
Yes, the boners I have on aspirin are insane, veiny unit, girthy, and the orgasms are very satisfying. I do have to say I didn't yet have any encounters with ED as such, but I definitely feel an extra oomph.

Thank you! How old are you and how much do you take?

Try your aspirin with b1 and piracetam or dhea and thank me later, you will last a lot and penis about to explode.

What are some of your other symptoms as well? Are you generally health just with ED?
