Suggest Treatment For Gradual Decrease Of Sexual Functions

idear Sirim 29 yrs old male .married. i have unilateral undesended testicle and i felt that there was gradual decrease of my sexual and some cognitive functions and i feel usually that im tired and depressed and i cant sleep.and recently i feel that i have permanent headache with noise in my ears that cant be relived by panadol. However, i went to the dr and he asked for TSH, free and total testesterone ,estradiol and DHEA, shbg and prolactin anlysis. i got the result this week and as i thought that there is decrease of testesterone. total test is 8.3 nmol/l (ref 11.5 -33) ,SHBG LOW 13 NMOL/L REFE (15-50), FREE TEST LOW 26 PMOL/L REF(43-138) and with increase of prolactin 888 miu/l ref (85-500) ,% prolactin recovery (77%),, TSH was normal 2.07 (ref .04- 3.50) ,Total PSA was normal 0.61 (0.20 - 2.0)
.I feel that this decrease of my testO is due to increase of the prolactin level especialy because i developed gynecomastia since i was in 21 yrs old and there is erectial dysfunction . i did brain CT scan and every thing was normal .I spoke with institute of men health program and we will put u in program for 12 month taking cream testesterone . I think its not warthy to take testo if there is no correction for prolactin level and follow up and i think my case dont manage by testesterone . it should treat hyperprolactinemia first. Although i feel that symptom of testo deficency affected my life and work and cognitive activity.SO,the GP doctor prescriped for me 1.25 bromocribtine with gradual increase of the dose. Some times, i feel that it could be due to the sexual Exhaustion due to Over Masturbation because i was doing this habit for long times and i cant stop it. or its due to 2ndy hypothyroidism. could u please give me your advice regarding this issue .Do you think that i have to take the bromocriptine even if i dont have prolactinoma, What is the possible causes of my case. Who can i relive from these symptoms.

Hi
I suggest you to repeat prolactin level in this way
Get a tri pooled sample in the morning after putting in a butterfly needle at 15 minutes gap so the you don't need to pierce the skin every time This is imp because sample collection or stress can cause raised prolactin level
Try to enquire whether Brain scan had slices of 5 mm or less . Whether they have scanned the pituitary gland? Pl revert back after these
