Saw Palmetto ( its side effects on ME)

[winding_road]

Hello,
It 's been like 6 mounths right now I am living with CPPS. When it started, I started taking saw palmetto, and after few weeks I stopped since I didn t notice much difference, but also at the same time I had a dcrease ( NOTICABLE) in libido. Now after few weeks from this I started complaining about a Enourmous change in my ejaculate which became very watery and less in quantity. At that time I couldn t say it is Saw palmetto cause it was a new condition I am living with and I didn t knew where the symptoms came from.

Now like 4 mounth later, I started taking Saw palmetto, just for Hair loss ( cause I noticed it helped a bit. My libido decrease after few days, and my libido started to be weird again ! But this time I went back to the VERY VERY Thick ( thicker than before it was like solid). It was clear that At least Saw Palmetto have an effect on my ejavculate , on my libido.

IS THIS NORMAL, did anyoone noticed this. Looking at this forum and on internet I couldn t find side effects of saw palmetto, and nobody talked about a BIG Libido decrease. and this ejaculate change is it something to worry about.

I v just been witha girl and my libido was too low that I couldn t have sex.

any opinions , please help . ( I am gonna stop it, but do these symptoms give some clue about my prostate health or something like that ? )


Thanks a Lot and thanks for the Forum !!

My quick comment is that a drop in libido is commonly reported with male pelvic pain. This is not a permanent situation, as I can testify personally.

As you improve, so your libido will improve too. Saw Palmetto would not be my first choice. See:

I was actually talking about the side effects of Saw Palmetto. It was clear that My libido start to drop with Saw Palmetto intake (very clearly) . . And also I was wondering if these changes ( clear and striking) say something about the rrot of my problem. Cuase I turned out to be of the rare people who have side effects from Saw Plmetto.
Thanks

There are other things that can change your ejaculate such as your diet. How much fluid you have taken. I dont know of any negative side effects of Saw Palmetto. In fact its being used in studies to treat Prostate Cancer, and has been proven to help reduce prostate for BPH patients. I dont know how it is for Prostatitis.


Anyone know more?

FWIW, I've added a Saw Palmetto with Pygeum supplement to my regimen & been taking it twice daily for about 1-2 months. Not sure if it helps, but it doesn't seem to hurt - and I've seen absolutely no effect on the libido. I think with SP, any effect on libido must be an individual thing.

Probably the biggest libido killer is pelvic pain itself.
