Question:
I am a little frustrated right now and I am inquiring how you would treat me. When I was sixteen I was sexual inactive and I took steriods, the steriods caused my penis to shrink two inches. Now it has no stimulation, it is a dead tissue. The penis is basically atrophic, I have tried sex even oral sex and I just can't get stimulated. I am inquiring what your treatment would be for this problem in general. If testosterone injections what level would you give. Or what your generally treatment is for this kind of an illness. Please respond it is very important to me. Thanks
Dr. Gallant's Response:
You said you took steroids when you were 16, but you didn't say how old you are now. If you recently stopped taking the steroids, your body may have "forgotten" how to make testosterone, and you'll have to wait for awhile until it "remembers." However, if this has been a more long-standing problem, you really need to have this evaluated thoroughly.
If you have morning erections or are able to have erections during masturbation, then the problem is more likely to be psychological than physical. If, however, you have no erections at all, you need to have a thorough medical evaluation. Before you go taking steroids (such as tesosterone) again, you need to find out whether that is the cause of the problem-- blood tests can determine that. Talk to your doctor.
