Brief Answer:
You need proper evaluation as below
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted all your symptoms, age of 20 and understood the concerns.
After reading your history I would advise the following and would like to additional information:
- Get the routine blood tests along with Hormonal studies: Testosterone, LH, Thyroid functions, Liver function and as would be suggested after clinical evaluation by an Urologist and Endocrinologist.
- How much was/is the level of stress and/or anxiety?
- Ultrasound of abdomen and scrotum with colour doppler mode also.
- An actual examination of penis to see for internal scar, nodule formation or so.
These will give an idea about the etiology/ causes so that a specific treatment can be done for improvement or cure.
