A member asked:

I stopped taking saw palmetto 5 months ago due to the side effects (ed, no libido, reduced semen volume). i was wondering if these can be reversed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See an urologist : Your symptoms have many causes : vascular, neurological , chronic diseases like diabetes , thyroid and finally stress or even psycological. Low testosterone is best decreed and treated by a trained md. Urologist again.
