    Hi all,

    I recently went to get a checkup and get my testosterone levels checked by my doctor due to a noticed low energy level and zero sex drive. I have also been suffering with ed for over a year. My blood results came back yesterday with a 11.3 nmol/L result which he stated was low for someone of my age, but did not think it was at a low level that need trt (testosterone replacement therapy). He left me a subscription for ciallis but I still feel that doesn't solve the problem when my sex drive is at zero. Can anyone shed some information or advice to my troubles? I also train in gaa at least twice a week and also weight train 2-3 times a week. I'm a healthy eater and I weight 13.3 stone and I'm 6ft 1. I would also have a low body fat but I'm not sure on a percentage.

    Thanks!

    Ask your doctor for a referral to an endocrinologist to get a full check up if testosterone is low

    If the testosterone level is low then you want see if there is a cause for it and treat that rather than cialis which only treats the symptoms.

    And on that we are done.
    sdowling04 Apologies but we cannot give medical advice here. The advice to get a referral from your GP or get a second opinion would be the best idea. Any questions please pm me or one of the other mods.
