Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction
Question: I am 33 years old and have been experiencing erectile dysfunction for about 6 months. I have mild Hypertension, and have been taking amlodipine 2.5mg for about two years now. I have been really good about keeping my bp under control and within the normal limits. I have recently had some testosterone tests ran and my total testosterone was 305. Could this be a latent side effect of amlodipine. Or could my difficulties be more hormonal in nature. I feel I am to young for it to be narrowing of tiny blood vessels in the penis. I would hate to think that I have an irreversible condition which require pde-5 inhibitors for life boo.
