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.

Can having low testosterone levels result in bad test results?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello sir or maam, I feel lazy and tired all the time with low mood. I have not had morning erections for a long time. Two years ago, I had a blood test for testosterone and my report showed 267 ng/dl. Do I need to repeat the T-hormone test or do something else? I am unable to concentrate on any work. My CBC, LFT, and RFT reports are normal. Do I also need a TSH test along with the T hormone test? When I take medicine for fatigue, I feel okay during the course of the medicine, but after completion, I again feel fatigue, low mood, and related problems.
