I had added to my question before submission, but it was lost by this service.
I wanted to know if an experiment with taking Androgel might help. Also, I asked if there are supplements or other medcines that improve libido. I have no libido.
I also wrote that I can overcome my ED using penile injections. Your answer seems to ignore that.
Brief Answer:
Androgel may not help to increase Libido.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
Erectile dysfunction itself may cause of low libido.
Since your testosterone levels are normal using Androgel may or may not help to improve your libido.However you can have a trial for few weeks .There are no medicines in modern medicine faculty to increase libido but other faculty like Ayurvedic and Homoeopathy claim to have solution to increase libido.and are available on line on internet.
Taking penile injection to get erection over a long period may lead to scarring of the spongy tissue and Tunica Albugenia, a covering that envelops erectile tissue so it is advisable and safe to put penile implant rather than taking Penile injections as a routine to get erection.
Thanks and Regards.
