It is important because testosterone decreases with age in men and low testosterone level can cause erectile dysfunction.

How can low levels of testosterone affect males?

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.

My wife is undergoing her 3rd IUI cycle this month. The reason for going for IUI is my erectile dysfunction. Rest of her and my reports are normal. If the 3rd cycle also fails, can we go for the next IUI attempt after 3 to 4 months? Please advise. We do not want to go for IVF so early.
