20 Years. Erectile Dysfunction. Normal Testosterone Levels. Suggestions?
Hi I am only twenty years old and I am starting to believe I have erectile dysfunction. I have gotten my testosterone levels checked (which were a little under 400) and the doctor said that is a somewhat normal level and did not really give me an option to fix my problem. I am not sure what to do to fix my problem and what my next steps should be.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Erectile dysfunction can be due to multiple causes like psychological problem, hormonal imbalance, nerve problem, spinal cord problem, vascular problem or neurological problem. But you dont mentioned any of them and since you only started believing erectile dysfunction, consult your doctor for examination and diagnosis. If early morning erection is not there then the cause may be due to testosterone. Maintain your daily healthy activities like outdoor exercise, diet, fruit juice, avoiding tight pants, reducing frequency of mastrubation (If doing), always thinking of sexual activities. This will help you. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards Dr. Lohit
