Get a testosterone blood test done preferably early in the morning between 7 to 10 AM. During these hours, your testosterone levels are typically the highest.

Take a D Dimer Test Test or Take a FILARIA ANTIGEN Test

How do they test for low testosterone?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Which test is performed to know testosterone levels?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 46 year old man experiencing erectile dysfunction for the past 3 months. My blood tests show low free testosterone, high estradiol, and high FSH levels. The endocrinologist initially prescribed Modula for 10 days, but I did not experience any improvement. He then suggested testosterone replacement therapy. I have not started TRT and instead opted for Ayurvedic treatment recommended by a well known sexologist in Delhi. However, after 2 months, there has been little improvement. I no longer have morning erections and have been unable to have sexual intercourse due to poor erections for 3 months. I have a few questions: Should I consider starting testosterone replacement therapy? Is TRT the only effective option for me? What are the potential long term complications of TRT?
