Could Thyroid Level of 18.6 Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Patient's Query

I have a received a blood result of 18.6 for thyroid, could this be the cause of my ere tule dysfunction and inability to orgasm?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Hyperthyroidism (1) has an 18.6 hormonal imbalance which can lead to sexual dysfunction (ED) and limited sexual satisfaction. Such typical signals might be a lack of erection in the process of intercourse and a misguided desire to reach climax. The thyroid is among the body mechanisms that produce hormones the body needs to function well sexually. Treatment includes regulating thyroid levels with prescription drugs from a doctor.

I am 36 years old. I have TSH level of 3.6 microIU/mL. What should be the dose of my medicine. Currently I was prescribed with 50mcg.

Female | 36

If your TSH level tests positive with a figure of 3.6 microIU/mL, this is within limits but slightly on the higher side. Higher than normal TSH levels often come with symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and feeling cold when others are warm. In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms, alongside the fact that 50mcg is your current dose, it means that you may need to adjust it depending on what your body demands. You must always consult your doctor when there is a need to do so.

Male | 41

Your body may be having trouble dealing with sugar properly. If sugar levels are too high, it can cause tiredness and trouble vision. These are diabetic signs. You should get checked by a medical professional. They will suggest dietary options and probably a medication to control your sugar levels and make you feel better.

Why am I loosing weight even though I eat a lot? Other times I take appetite stimulants and after I gain weight, I loose it within a week or two. Is this normal? Because I actually eat a lot

Female | 27

People associate eating more and suffering from weight loss with potential problems. Some reasons include a fast metabolism, thyroid issues, diabetes, or stress. People who consume appetite-causing agents may appear to temporarily gain weight; however, a quick reduction in body mass could indicate a possible underlying cause. In response to this, continue to consume a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get checked by a medical professional.

Hi, i am a 30 year old male. i have panhypopituarism. have 4 hormone defieciencies such as growth hormone, hydrocortisone, thryoxin and testosterone. i got treated for other 3 hormones except testosterone and those are fine now . i went to 170cm height from 110 cm. after the HGH replacement. and for other two i am taking those as tablets. Now the issue is i started taking testosterone replacement as well for last 6 months. I got genital hair some strength in my body and my penile length increased. can get semen out from fapping. but the issue is testes havent dropped or descended. my flaccid penis is too small like a toddler. when erected its 6 inches. will it get ok by the time ? or any serious concerns

Male | 30

Your hormone­ therapies' progress is wonde­rful. Changes often require­ patience, so don't fret. Continue­d testosterone tre­atment may aid your underdeve­loped testes and small flaccid pe­nis symptoms. However, consulting your doctor about concerns e­nsures proper progress tracking.

I am 29 year old male and recently tested my testosterone level. It is 2.03 ng/ml. So i want to ask..is this is normal?

Male | 29

Typically, this hormone sits within the range of 2.5 to 10 ng/ml in men. A level lower than 2.03 ng/ml might indicate you have an issue. That's not too far below average. Having low T can cause symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and mood swings among others. Many things can lead to it happening including stress obesity or certain medical conditions. I recommend talking with your doctor about what these results mean for you and what steps can be taken toward balancing them out.

Female | 2

You need to bear in mind that if she hasn't swallowed any of your pills, there may be side effects involved. Track the following symptoms: Stomach Ace, nausea or vomiting, and feeling shaky. If you find any of these, get help from a doctor or poison control center immediately for first advice.

My sugar level is 444 what to do

Male | 30

Having a sugar level of 444 is dangerous as it is extremely high. It may make you feel thirsty, and tired, and go to the bathroom too frequently. High sugar levels generally occur in diabetics. To reduce the number, you should react promptly. Drink water, consume sugar at a slower pace, and take the medicine as indicated by the doctor.

Female | 29

Your symptoms are likely caused by Cushing's syndrome. This results from your body's overproduction of cortisol. This may include weight gain, lethargy, and mood swings. A doctor should be consulted to receive a diagnosis through tests. Typically, a doctor either gives you medication or does surgery to decrease the cortisol levels for the treatment.

Estrogen imbalance­s can lead to brain fog. Brain fog makes it difficult to focus, reme­mber things, and stay clear-heade­d. High estrogen leve­ls disrupt hormonal balance, causing brain fog symptoms. If high estrogen cause­s your brain fog, doctors may recommend lifestyle­ adjustments, medications, or hormone the­rapy to restore balance.

A thyroid level of 4.823 after pregnancy might be slightly aspiring. It might be because you can feel fatigued, become overweight, and experience mood swings. Thyroid levels tend to shift after having a baby. Your body might need a little nudge in the right direction. Your doctor may recommend drugs to normalize your levels and improve your well-being.

Medicines need to be handled with care, especially when nursing. Expired thyroid drugs can become weaker or harmful to your health. While you may not notice immediate effects, it is important to consult your doctor. They will ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Always check the expiration dates on your medications to keep both of you safe.

My c-peptide test results 7.69 Feeling empty stomach and weekness A am non diabetic

Male | 45

If your C-peptide test shows 7.69 and you’re not diabetic then it’s fine. Feeling empty stomachs and weakness can happen for different reasons. It’s common to have low energy when an individual hasn’t eaten anything for a while and this can be solved by taking small but frequent meals. Weakness could be due to lack of sleep, stress or not eating well-balanced meals. Ensure that you always take plenty of fluids and get enough rest.

I am 55 year old person and having thyroid problem for last few years. I am taking medicine EUTHYROX 25. But I am in doubt with this medicine. Recently I tested my TSH test again, which result is below... T3 - 1.26 ng/mL T4 - 7.66 ug/dL TSH - 4.25 ml/UL (CLIA METHOD) Please suggest correct type of thyroid and medicine. Thanks

Male | 55

Your TSH level is a bit high, which means your thyroid isn’t making enough hormones. This can make you feel tired, gain weight, and be sensitive to the cold. People who have hypothyroidism usually take EUTHYROX 25 -- you might end up needing more or something else entirely. You must talk to your doctor about what all this means so they can help come up with a plan that will work best for you.
