Detailed Answer:

I have gone through all your reports.
The reports asked by me are not sent.
If you've not done it, kindly get the tests done and send them, for my expert opinion.
The testosterone levels were low to begin with, but reason for same, isn't mentioned in the reports.
Low levels of male hormone, testosterone, will affect erections.
Hence intercourse will be difficult.
Your recent lab reports also show,uncontrolled diabetes,with HbA1C OF 7.7.
Normal level should be less than 7.
Wish you good health.
Get back to me if you have further query.
