andropause for men at 25years

can a man at age 25 experience andropause? a friend of mine is 25 and has erectile problems for about 3months now.each time he gets excited, his penis gets hard for a few minute or so and then gets soft.sometimes it stays dead even when he is in the mood. please tell me what it is.

Hi,<br> <br> It's very unlikely that your friend's problem is due to andropause but he should probably see his doctor about having his testosterone level tested. It will take a doctor's examination to determine what might be the cause. No one can diagnose such problems over the Internet.

Hi Keri,<br> <br> Has your friend seeked professional help? If he has, what was he diagnosed with? I am 23 years old and started to suffer what you have described. It's been bothering me for about 3 months and I am starting to get worried. I am going to seek help as soon as I can. <br> <br> Thanks in advance,<br> Smirn

25 is about the time I first noticed problems. But I was going through so much at that time in my life (Mom's death, failed engagement, bad job....) That I just assumed it was stress. Then in my mid 30s I was diagnosed as Diabetic and they said I may have been so for 10 to 15 years and it and gone unnoticed, I just assumed my ED problems were from that. Once on medication for the diabetes, I still had problems and still felt rundown, I talked to my doctor and he said I was just depressed. <br> It wasn't till I was 42 tht I saw a sitcom called "Yes Dear" and one of the characters had all the symptoms I was having (all they could discuss on TV that is)and gave a name to the disease. I looked it up on the web and low and behold there was all the crap I had been dealing with spelled out.<br> I called my new doctor and told him what I had found. I took a simple blood test and now I'm on 500 mg patches. Even after 3 months of treetment I'm still finding I'm getting better every day.<br> If I can be of any more help I'm at grimmbear@earthlink.net
