How Safe Is Taking Nebido For Low Testosterone ?

Hi I've been on Nebido injections for the past 6 months as I was put on them by my consultant as he said I'd never gone through puberty properly because of low testosterone. So basically my question is how long will all the changes take? Its just I've met somebody recently but I've always been very reluctant to get into a relationship as I wouldn't be able to have sex/get an errection. So I was wondering how long does it take till I can start getting erections and engaging in intercourse

Hi
greetings.
I understand your concern.
Since your consultant told you that with out testosterone injection you will not reach puberty meaning, either your testis is not producing enough testosterone or there is inadequate stimulus from your pituitary gland to the testis.
Now I have no idea of your age , present hormonal status and your body stature.(I mean your hair pattern and size of the Penis etc).
IF TESTOSTERONE IS NOT PRODUCED IN YOUR BODY YOU WILL NEED THIS FOR A LONG TIME TILL YOU HAVE TO BE ACTIVE IN SEX.It depends up on the dose and it is calculated as per your hormonal levels. It is safe and you will be able to have normal sex.So don't worry about it and to know about your present stage discuss with your doctor as I have no access to examine you.hope my answer helps you. Regards
