Question 1

I used to dry masturbate a lot when I was younger and sometimes used soap as a lubricant because it was the only thing available. Now, the head of my penis has become really dry, and I have to apply coconut oil or Vaseline several times a day to prevent it from getting dry. Also, I have to wait before I can pee. What can I do to fix this for good?

Accepted Answer

You're considering adding ashwagandha to your existing regimen of finasteride and minoxidil.Ashwagandha's Effects on Testosterone and DHT1. Testosterone Increase: Ashwagandha may help increase testosterone levels, which could potentially counterbalance the testosterone-reducing effects of finasteride.2. DHT Reduction: Ashwagandha's anti-inflammatory properties might help reduce DHT levels, which could complement the DHT-reducing effects of finasteride.3. Cortisol Reduction: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties can help reduce cortisol levels, which may contribute to a decrease in DHT formation.Potential Benefits of the Combination1. Balanced Testosterone Levels: The combination of finasteride (reducing DHT) and ashwagandha (potentially increasing testosterone) might help maintain balanced testosterone levels.2. Reduced Inflammation: Ashwagandha's anti-inflammatory properties could complement the anti-inflammatory effects of minoxidil, potentially leading to reduced inflammation and improved overall health.3. Improved Muscle Mass and Fatigue: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties might help alleviate fatigue and improve muscle mass, although more research is needed to confirm this.
