Have Issues Maintaining Erection. Would Testosterone Supplements Help?
question re erectile dysfunction - 32 male, health, no health concerns, having issues maintaining erection (dont wake with 1 in the morning), if there any benefit in taking testosterone supplements to return my sex life to what it was before I was circumcised (3yrs ago, aged 29. elective). I went to manmatters clinic and they recommended prostagen injection for 4 months - no medical issues, more fluid dynamics issue, but 1400euro is alot, so would testosterone supplements help at all?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Please note down very carefully as,
The benefits of testosterone therapy have only been proven in persons who have androgen deficiency.
The testosterone levels that are below the lower limit of normal level .
It means testosterone should be taken only those persons whose level is less than 250 ng/dl.
Testosterone supplements are available in many forms.
Scrotal testosterone patch,
testosterone gel,
buccal adhesive testosterone,
Intramuscular injections,
The best way is to consult a physician and get in advice for treatment.
It will work out ,but consultation is necessary.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Best wishes.
Dr. HET
