Can testosterone therapy help with erectile dysfunction?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My wife is not satisfied with our sex life. I have two kids. Unless I stimulate myself with porn or masturbating action or licking my nipples, I do not get an erection. I have weak libido, and I am unable to sustain an erection for a long time or continuously and also ejaculate prematurely in around 2 minutes. My testosterone count is 248.7 ng/dl. My height is 5'8" feet, and I weigh 227 pounds. I am trying to get fit, but I am very stressed. I visited a sexologist, and he examined my genitals and said it was normal. It is 3 inches on average and 5 inches while erect.

My questions are:

  1. Should I go for testosterone replacement therapy, or will something else help?
  2. Can you let me know where I can avail of such treatment? Do you have any recommendations?
  3. What is the expense, and how many days it takes?
  4. I read online that there are many suggested therapies and side effects. Which one do you recommend?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have erectile dysfunction and obesity, and your testosterone is low. Medicines can correct it. If medications do not help, you only have to go for other options. Do not trust everything that is written online. It is not serious but complicated. Counseling, lifestyle modification, and drugs together only will be effective.

I hope this helps.

Please revert to assist you further.

Thank you.
