This doctor is not available for online consultations on the platform anymore.Hello doctor,
I am a 24-year-old male and I experienced more frequent wet dreams two and a half years ago, and I believe I had higher sexual potency back then. However, currently, I have noticed a decrease in wet dreams and experience erectile dysfunction when exposed to pornography, whereas two and a half years ago, I used to get easily aroused. I am concerned about my sexual potency. I also feel colder in the mornings, experience reduced body temperature, and notice slightly dry skin. A friend mentioned that my sexual potency might be impacted by a thyroid issue. Now, I have several questions:
Kindly provide your insight.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understood your concern. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Is the cessation of wet dreams and reduced sexual potency due to a thyroid problem?
No, these issues are not attributed to a thyroid disorder.
2. If I undergo thyroid treatment, can I regain my sexual potency?
No, it is not recommended to undergo thyroid treatment without a diagnosed thyroid disorder.
3. Which tests should I undergo, and under what conditions should these tests be conducted?
You should consider undergoing a thyroid function test, serum testosterone test early in the morning on two different days, serum prolactin test, and serum FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), and LH (luteinizing hormone) tests.
4. Is a semen volume of about 1 ml sufficient for conceiving children?
Yes, a semen volume of about 1 ml is capable of leading to successful conception.
I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
