Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief answer:Decreased libido,erectile dysfunction,loss of hair growth,fatigue are common with low testosterone
Detailed answer:If i am your family physician,would treat you with testosterone(as depo injection) 200mg every 2 weeks,after getting opinion from an endocrinologist,provided if you don't have contraindications for the hormonal therapy like prostate or liver disease.In the mean time,would also consider prescribing tadalafil or vardenafil 5-10 mg once daily,30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity as short term treatment for erectile dysfunction.Hope i have answered your query.If any further questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
