Title: HRT and Nocturnal Erections
Post by: Dani Rae on August 09, 2017, 12:33:14 PM
I have been on HRT for about six months. Decrease in nocturnal erections happened pretty quickly. It was almost nonexistent until a few weeks ago. Now it's happening almost every other night. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about any other factors, like stress or blood pressure, that would impact this issue. I am seeing my Dr. the end of this month and will get my levels checked and ask about it. I just wanted to both get this out and try to get some ->-bleeped-<-. It is distressing, but I've been too embarrassed to talk to anyone in my life about it. So any suggestions or ->-bleeped-<- about coping with it would be appreciated.

For me during, my 15 months HRT, it is just a "comes and goes" situation. I didn't have them for a couple months, now it's nearly every night. Not predictable at all. As usual, it's YMMV from what I understand...

Thanks. It helps to know that it is something that can be variable. I guess I just need to deal with it and wait for it to go again.

Identical situation. I thought my T had gone back up but test reveal less than 30 ng/dl. I've been told it shows you not only have excellent circulation but that you will have a tendency to be more orgasmic post op. That's a nice upside ;)

Nothing to worry about, I'm post-op and I have clitoral erections/engorgement despite T levels being VERY low.
