Hi, I am 25 years old and have a long history of habitual masturbation. Recently, I have been experiencing some erection problems: either difficulty getting an erection or inability to sustain it. I have done hormone tests, and the results are: Testosterone: 452 ng/dL Free Testosterone: 16.60 pg/mL LH: 6.09 mIU/mL Estradiol (E2): 61.9 pg/mL FSH: 7.33 mIU/mL My doctor has suggested a penile Doppler test. Based on my hormone test results, is this test necessary, or can it be skipped? Please advise

Testosterone is mid range. Estradiol seems elevated, which may affect sexual function. Penile Doppler is useful to assess blood flow. Consider it if symptoms persist.

Doctor, what medicine can I take to improve my testosterone so that I get a good erection to make love? I am not getting stimulated even during the act, which has been identified as due to low testosterone in my blood report. I am yet to have a child and need to know how to get back on track with my sex life. Help would be appreciated. Thanks and regards.
