I dealing with severe abdominal issues, poor-texture pale stools, zero libido, and weak erections since January 2026. In January, I was diagnosed with fatty liver, followed by a stool test in March showing Entamoeba histolytica cysts. In May, a stool culture tested positive for Shigella Group (low growth), which I just treated with a full course of Ciprofloxacin and Nizonide. While the active infection is gone and repeat testing shows the liver fat is now completely gone, my bloating, pale stools, erectile weakness, and loose scrotal texture remain.Because of these chronic symptoms, I have undergone extensive medical testing. A CECT Whole Abdomen, Upper Endoscopy, and Sigmoidoscopy were all completely normal, showing a healthy prostate, bladder, and bowel wall. An Echocardiogram showed flawless cardiac function (LVEF 59%). A Hormone Panel (Max Hospital) revealed excellent, youthful levels: Free Testosterone is 22.80 pg/mL, LH is 3.07 mIU/mL, and Prolactin is 7.64 ng/mL. Furthermore, a Stool PCR DNA panel came back entirely negative for parasites, while blood work showed a normal Thyroid (TSH 1.35), normal Hemoglobin (15.4 g/dl), normal tTG IgA (0.7 U/mL), and normal CRP (2.7 mg/L). The only deficit found is low Vitamin D. Are this pelvic floor muscle tightness or other problem . I m feeling fatigue as well weakness in body, feel like body is not getting what i eat

Your reports are largely reassuring. Testosterone, prolactin, thyroid, heart tests, CT scan, endoscopy, and colon evaluation are normal, so a major hormonal or structural disease is less likely. Chronic gut infections, repeated antibiotics, low Vitamin D, weak digestion, stress/anxiety, and post-infectious gut inflammation can cause Bloating Pale stools Fatigue and weakness Low libido and weak erections Loose scrotal feeling Pelvic floor muscle tightness can contribute, especially if you also have: Pelvic heaviness Difficulty relaxing while urinating Constipation/gas Anxiety or stress Ejaculatory discomfort According to Ayurveda, this resembles Grahani with weak digestive fire and aggravated Vata. Take Kutajghan Vati — 1 tablet twice daily after food for 3–4 weeks Avipattikar Churna — 3 g at night with warm water Shankh Vati — 1 tablet after lunch and dinner for bloating Ashwagandha Churna — 3 g with warm milk at bedtime for fatigue and libido Gandhak Rasayan — 1 tablet twice daily after food for gut recovery Continue Vitamin D3 supplementation Diet Eat warm, freshly cooked food Prefer moong dal, rice, pomegranate, thin buttermilk with roasted cumin Avoid alcohol, junk food, excess spicy/oily food, cold drinks, and heavy protein supplements Avoid excessive masturbation/porn for a few weeks Daily walking, stretching, and deep breathing are helpful

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms suggest a combination of mandagni (weak digestive fire), post-infective gut imbalance (agrahani type disturbance) and mild vata aggravation affecting digestion, energy, and reproductive strength. Even though your reports are normal and infections are cleared, the gut lining and digestive “fire” often take time to fully recover. Ayurvedic approach 1. Strengthen Agni (digestion) Take Hingvastak churna (before meals with warm water) to reduce bloating and gas Use Triphala at night (gentle bowel regulation and detox support) 2. Improve absorption & stool quality Ajwain + jeera water sipped through the day Avoid cold, heavy, oily, and high-fat foods for now 3. Restore gut lining & energy Amla juice or powder (supports liver–gut recovery and nutrient absorption) Warm, freshly cooked simple diet (khichdi, moong dal, soups) 4. Rebuild strength & libido (after digestion improves) Ashwagandha (supports stress, fatigue, and testosterone utilization) Shilajit (purified) in low dose may help stamina and sexual strength 5. Important correction Your symptoms are less likely from active infection now and more consistent with post-infective gut weakness + Vata imbalance + vitamin D deficiency contribution

Hello, Your reports are actually reassuring in several important ways -CT scan/endoscopy/sigmoidoscopy normal -Hormones and testosterone normal -fatty liver resolved -stool PCR now negative -CRP, thyroid, hemoglobin normal -heart evaluation normal That makes a major structural disease, hormonal failure, or ongoing severe infection much less likely What you describe now sounds more like a combination of 1) post-infectious gut dysfunction/IBS- like syndrome after Entamoeba + shigella 2) Gut microbiome disruption after multiple infections + antibiotics 3) Malabsoprtion/ bile flow imbalance contributing to pale stools 4) stress gut pelvic floor interaction 5) possible pelvic floor hypertonicity contributing to erectile/scrotal symptoms Pale stools Matter persistent pale/clay-colored stool should not be ignored completely Even though scans are normal, pale stool can sometimes relate to -low bile flow -pancreatic enzyme issues -rapid transit -dysbiosis -fat malabsoprtion Since high- fat foods worsen symptoms , ask your gastroenterologist whether these are needed: -LFT repeat with bilirubin/GGT/ALP -fecal elastase (pancreatic function) -stool fat test -bile acid evaluation if symptoms persist Why Libido/erections can drop despite normal testosterone Your hormone panel is excellent, so this is likely functional rather than hormonal Chronic gut inflammation/infection can temporarily affect -autonomic nervous system -pelvic floor muscles -nitric oxide signaling -mental sexual response -energy metabolism Loose scrotal texture + weak erections + fatigue commonly occur with -chronic stress physiology -nervous system exhaustion -gut inflammation -pelvic floor dysfunction -sleep disturbance -micronutrient depletion Could it be pelvic floor tightness? Possibly yes - especially if you also have -incomplete bowel evacuation -pelvic heaviness -urinary hesitancy -hard flaccid symptoms -perineal tightness -pain after ejaculation -constipation alternating with loose stools but pelvic floor tightness alone wound not explain pale stools and bloating This looks more like Post- infectious gut dysfunction + autonomic imbalance with possible secondary pelvic floor involvement Ayurvedic view This resembles -weakened agni after infection -grahani type disturbance -vata aggravation in gut/pelvis -depletion after repeated illness and antibiotics After infections and strong medicines, digestion sometimes becomes hypersensitive even when tests normalize Ayurvedic view This resembles -weakened agni after infection -grahani type disturbance -vata aggravation in gut/pelvis -depletion after repeated illness and antibiotics After infections and strong medicines, digestion sometimes becomes hypersensitive even when tests normalize Ayurvedic management Digestive restoration 1) Hinguvachadi gulika= 1 tab twice daily after meals = for digestive support 2) Kutajarishta= 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals =sometimes used after infective diarrhea and IBS-type symptoms 3) Bilvadi gulika= 1 tab twice daily after meals =may help loose stool tendency and gut stability 4) Buttermilk daily with roasted cumin at lunch time can support gut flora and digestion Avoid heavy detox/panchakarma right now Your body sounds depleted, not overload Avoid -aggressive fasting -harsh detoxes -excessive herbs -strong laxatives -repeated antibiotics unless clearly needed Diet strategy for 4-6 weeks -simple warm meals -rice -moong dal -cooked vegetables -pomegranate -light proteins -avoid excessive fat -avoid alcohol -avoid ultra processed foods Do not over-restrict food excessively Important Nutrients Low vitamin D absolutely can worsen -fatigue -libido -weakness -muscle dysfunction -mood Correct it properly Also consider checking -B12 -magnesium -zinc Helpful physical approach If pelvic floor tightness is suspected -diahpragmatic breathing -pelvic floor physiotherapy -walking -avoiding constant abdominal clenching may help more than strengthening exercises Many men accidentally keep the pelvic muscles chronically contracted after illness/anxiety Your extensive testing strongly suggests you are not dealing with a dangerous hidden disease. The overall picture fits much better with post infectious gut dysfunction, microbiome disturbance, nervous system exhaustion, and possibly secondary pelvic floor dysfunction after months of illness, antibiotics, and stress on the body. Recovery from this can take months even after the infection clears. Focus now should be on rebuilding digestion, restoring nutrition, correcting vitamin D deficiency, restoring nutrition, correcting Vitamin D deficiency, calming the gut- nervous system axis, and avoiding excessive medications or restrictive protocols Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you

••When your body isn’t absorbing nutrients, it’s natural to feel like what you eat is passing straight through without giving you energy. From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms paint a very clear, connected picture. You are dealing with a classic case of Grahani Roga (malabsorption syndrome) triggered by back-to-back gut infections, which has led to severe Agni Mandya (weak metabolic/digestive fire) and a subsequent depletion of Shukra Dhatu (the reproductive tissue). ••Here is exactly how these symptoms connect, why your pelvic floor feels tight, and how we approach this to rebuild your strength. 1. The Ayurvedic Pathophysiology (Samprapti) ••In Ayurveda, the gut (Grahani) is the seat of the digestive fire (Agni). The heavy infections you experienced (Entamoeba and Shigella), combined with the strong courses of antimicrobials and antibiotics, have cleared the pathogens but left your Agni completely burnt out. ••Because your Agni is weak, the food you eat turns into Aama (toxic, undigested metabolic byproduct) instead of healthy tissue. The Pale, Poor-Texture Stools & Bloating: This is a direct sign of Aama and un-metabolized fat/bile flowing through a sluggish digestive tract. ••The Fatigue & Weakness: Since the very first tissue layer, Rasa Dhatu (nutrient plasma), is poorly formed, all subsequent tissues—down to Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue)—are starved of nutrition. This is why your libido is zero and erections are weak, despite your hormone levels being chemically perfect on paper. 2. Is it Pelvic Floor Tightness? •••Yes, absolutely. In Ayurveda, the lower abdomen, pelvis, and reproductive organs are governed by Apana Vayu (a subtype of Vata Dosha responsible for downward movement, elimination, and sexual function). Chronic gut inflammation, bloating, and frequent bowel movements from the infections have severely aggravated Apana Vayu. This causes dryness, constriction, and hypersensitivity in the pelvic floor muscles. The “loose scrotal texture” and erectile weakness are not structural failures; they are caused by Vata-induced poor circulation and loss of tone in the pelvic region. The chronic bloating physically presses down on the pelvic floor, keeping those muscles in a constant, exhausted state of contraction. 3. The Ayurvedic Line of Management To recover, we must stop focusing directly on sexual performance and focus entirely on reigniting your gut and calming Vata. Once your body absorbs nutrients again, your energy and erectile function will naturally return. ••Phase 1: Kindle the Fire (Deepana & Pachana) We must clear the Aama and wake up your digestive enzymes without irritating the gut lining. ••Takra Kalpa (Medicated Buttermilk): This is the single best therapy for Grahani. Freshly churned buttermilk with a pinch of roasted cumin powder, ginger powder, and black salt acts as a natural probiotic that binds the stool and stimulates Agni without increasing heat. ••Classical Formulations: Classical formulations like Chitrakadi Vati or Agnitundi Vati are often utilized before meals to stimulate enzymes, while Kutajavaleha or Bilwadi Churna can help restore stool texture and calm the irritated intestinal lining. ••Phase 2: Calming Apana Vayu (Pelvic Relief) To release the tightness in your pelvic floor and restore circulation: ••Matra Basti (Gentle Oil Enema): Under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician, a series of low-volume oil enemas using Til Taila (Sesame Oil) or Dashamoola Taila is the gold standard for pacifying Apana Vayu. It directly lubricates the pelvic colon, relaxes the pelvic floor muscles, and restores nerve conduction to the reproductive organs. ••Spinal and Pelvic Abhyanga: Lightly massaging the lower back and lower abdomen with warm Mahanarayan Taila helps relieve the physical tension caused by chronic bloating. ••Phase 3: Nourishing the Tissues (Rasayana & Shukrala) Only after your stools normalize and bloating stops should you introduce heavy, nourishing herbs. If you take them now, your weak Agni will create more bloating. Once the gut is ready, herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Kapikachhu (processed in milk or ghee) will directly replenish the depleted Shukra Dhatu, restoring libido, erectile strength, and tissue tone.
