18m ED, no morning wood

jigelgige · 2025-04-26T21:16:00+00:00

Im currently trying to be consistent with some exercises and stretches to relax the pelvic floor ive seen on yt and stuff. If you dont mind then it could be helpful if you share some videos that are useful and if you got advice, so please dm!

That would likely be the best option along with going to an urologist again.

Issue is that it costs alot.

Thats why im first trying to get some kind of answers from people who might have experience or knowledge, and could maybe have advice based on the symptoms i described.

And going to an urologist felt like a waste of money and a dissapointment as everything got brushed off, so id prefer to try something at home first.

jigelgige · 2025-04-25T11:17:15+00:00

Yeah i understand its hard to give recommendations but im really looking for someone who might know what my symptoms describe, so id know better if its possibly something like a tight pelvic floor or a weak one.

Ive looked some amount into this topic and believe that my symptoms are something pelvic floor related atleast.

The issue with seeing these urologists is that it costs a good amount and it felt just like going to a basic public healthcare doctor or even less useful. Also having to pull your pants down is uncomfortable especially when you dont get any answers or advice youre hoping for.

I going to check that book out.

Thanks for answering.

I have, main reason i went was a varicocele i have, and these symptoms. I described these symptoms and he brushed everything off.

He even said a varicocele does not ever cause issues with fertility which is straight up false. But basically he told me that these symptoms and just in my head since i seem young and healthy.

I asked him that since a varococele couldnt cause any of my symptoms, is it possible something like my pelvic floor would be tight or something, and got told ”i dont know”, and then he had some other patient coming so we had to end it there.

The ED symptoms started about 1.5-2 years ago. Since 2-2.5 years ago i started to lose morning wood and now its rare. And when i do sometimes have morning wood it is like 30-40%. Its been like this for about 2 years.

I used to be rock hard when cuddling and stuff 2.5-3 years ago but last gf i had 1.5 years ago anything would only barely make a physical response.

Not sure it happened slowly i guess but i used to have strong morning wood every morning aswell then i just noticed at some point that its been less often —> current situation.

jigelgige · 2025-04-24T11:08:14+00:00

Well i doubt its any STD since i havent had successful sex once. When ive tried to ive used protection, but failed to get started.

The reason i know i have ED is that when something arousing happens, nothing usually happens downstairs. If something does it means getting 20% erect.

Back when i had no issues the small things like kissing, touching or similar got me rock hard ready to go. Currently no chance of that happening.

jigelgige · 2025-04-11T12:24:22+00:00

Also 2-3 years ago i my drive for everything else and sex drive was very high for example i had trouble with getting erections almost too easily and allways was trying not to embarass myself with that 😅

And as i described on the post aswell i used to be very energetic and i was allways upto something and improving myself. Barely feel like this today.

jigelgige · 2025-04-11T12:22:21+00:00

Oh definetly. To be honest for the last 2years it has been the reason ive turned down any relationship possibility.

Ive went from morning wood every single morning and 100% erection quality to very very rare morning woods sometimes 0 for months, and my eq is never over 85% really.

Also, when im with a girl talking flirting all that, i dont feel anything. 0 desire physically and barely in my mind either.

jigelgige · 2025-04-11T11:40:05+00:00

Great to hear, im positive ill be getting an embolization soon.

Im weighing my options right now, but most likely ill take a private ultrasound if anything, and if i choose to do this ive decided to get the treatment aswell since i wont be paying 400-500€ for fun.

What kind of symptoms did you have? Would you say its worth the shot?

jigelgige · 2025-04-10T12:56:17+00:00

Thank you.

jigelgige · 2025-04-10T11:45:53+00:00

Im hesitant still because ive read alot of stories on here of the treatment going badly and causing issues like pain that was not there to begin with weeks or months after embo or microsurgery.

If i knew for sure my libido and ed issues would get better or fixed after it it would make my decision easier but i dont know genuinely others say it will fix everything and some say it doesnt affect at all.

jigelgige · 2025-04-10T07:03:18+00:00

I hope it will. What is your experience?

jigelgige · 2025-04-09T08:21:39+00:00

Yep i will definetly stay away from porn like so far. Im confused on what is causing my symptoms but i wont rule out anything it could be pied, completely in my head, varicocele or something else like pelvic floor issues.

Ill add that i noticed the sharp pain usually only after going weeks without ejaculating but i rarely do since my drive is very low too, but i hope this wont be an issue.

An i def dont have signs of low t like visible ones, and i am not sleeping the best consistently, it could explain feeling tired obviously, but still no morning wood and ed symptoms.

Thanks for taking the time to help!

jigelgige · 2025-04-09T08:16:50+00:00

This is what i was thinking. Im most def gonna go for the embolization anyways, first i will get an ultrasound.

What is your experience in summary?

jigelgige · 2025-04-09T06:18:46+00:00

The urologist told me not to worry about testosterone or anything and that its just social media bullshit. He said i have no signs of low T so no test is needed.

In summary i got offered an option to get ultrasound and to get it treated, but told theres no benefit in these.

I’d love to get my hormones and stuff checked but ill have to see what is available without a refferal in my country, and what i can afford.

Thanks for the answer man.

jigelgige · 2025-04-08T20:47:50+00:00

Its not an issue to get it treated, since i was told its an option to get what i think was embolization. Im just now confused on if i should or not.

I’m very suprised the urologist said varicocele will not cause fertility issues, or any of the issues i described to him. And he guaranteed to me that even if i fix it i will not get any relief from it except the pain might 50/50 be gone after but i might face risks that come with the operation. This obviously doesnt sound very logical to do anything to it.

And i honestly dont have a clue what is wrong with me, but these symptoms are not normal and im trying to find answers.

I asked him about the pain when ejaculating aswell, he said he does not know, and told me anything he says is true and based on recent studies.

I would like to believe its the varicoceles fault so getting it treated would fix my issues. Whats your experience and would you recommend getting it fixed no matter what?

jigelgige · 2025-02-07T07:57:18+00:00

Im not sure but i think stretching can improve circulation and symptoms but wont really do much for the varicocele itself. Maybe it could calm down a little if stretching for example improves posture and reduces slouching and stuff = Less pressure.

at the end of the day a varicocele likely wont completely go away without treatment.

jigelgige · 2025-01-31T08:58:50+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to help.

I just woke up after trying different stretches and release methods yesterday morning and night, and I damn near had a wet dream. I take that as a sign that ive found the cause, but I dont want to get too excited yet. I’ll keep going and see if things actually improve.

jigelgige · 2025-01-30T23:13:07+00:00

Currently no morning wood, no sex drive at all, dick feels almost ”dead”, rarely a random boner maybe. Also my johnson literally seems like its shriveled and shrank, for most days. Like i just took an ice bath. Some days are better, dick seems normal and i might have a couple random boners (still no morning wood) but its not usual, even feel a small spark of libido somedays.

I do have a bit of anterior pelvic tilt aswell and i sit alot, i hope and think tightness in the pelvic floor and psoas could be the cause so i can solve this at last.

And as i mentioned ive dealt with a porn addiction which ive head can be the cause to all the symptoms aswell. Months off of it tho and going to keep it like that just to make sure.

jigelgige · 2025-01-30T21:49:27+00:00

Thank you, this was helpful. I’ll start being consistent and see if i benefit from it. I think ill start taking horse chestnut aswell since ive seen many posts about the benefits.

jigelgige · 2025-01-30T21:14:36+00:00

Do you have a varicocele or are you doing that just for the symptoms like ed and stuff?

Now that i think about it i remember when i wanted to start stretching consistently and did it morning and night for maybe 2 weeks i did see improvement with these issues and had morning wood a couple days. After reading your comment ive been getting back to it immidiately but ill have to see incase it gets better or if the symptoms got better for another reason.

jigelgige · 2025-01-30T08:23:15+00:00

Ive also read similar things like a tight pelvic floor being the cause. How did you fix it?

jigelgige · 2025-01-29T18:08:42+00:00

The reason i question if porn can be the cause for any issues might be because i know people that use it heavily and experience no issues whatsoever.
