Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My testosterone-free test level came up as 25.20 ng/dL. I want to know whether it is in the normal range or if any treatment should be taken.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is in the normal range. If you do not have any physical problems, then you do not need any treatment.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I cannot have a strong erection and have no interest in sex. I am at a point where I just have to masturbate and end it like an addiction.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Erection problems can be due to lifestyle factors like taking alcohol, smoking, or being overweight. It may also be due to any major illness or due to some medicines. Often it can be due to stress, anxiety, or due to blood abnormalities for which you need to do blood tests such as hemoglobin, total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count, fasting sugar, prolactin, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), and testosterone. Walking half an hour daily will help. If you are in some office job, then every half an hour, get up from your chair and walk around for 5 minutes; it will help in blood circulation in the penis.
Some couples practice a fertile period or ovulation method for sex, which puts stress on the partner by making a pleasurable activity into a task to perform, and he develops an erection problem. It can be overcome easily if they forget the ovulation time and do sex all through the month whenever possible. Testosterone is not a common cause of the low erection. Other factors, as mentioned above, are more common.
