Hi
Thanks for your query.
Should i take testosterone injections, if so for how long? Is there any side effects?.
It should be decided based on physical examination and identifying the cause of your sexual dysfunction. As of now t cannot be confirmed that you are experiencing sexual problems only because of your testosterone levels. Moreover, you did not provide the units of testosterone levels. Levels less than 3 ng/ml are considered for initiating testosterone replacement therapy.
Side effects of replacement include:
Breast swelling, headache, anxiety, increased facial or body hair growth, male-pattern baldness, increased or decreased interest in sex, numbness or tingly feeling or pain or swelling where the medicine was injected.
I have a varicocele grade 1 in my left testicle. How can i ensure that this does not progress to next level. Should i go for a treatment like surgery?
You have to periodically go for follow up and get assessed for the need of surgery, as surgery is the only treatment option. Moreover, there are no clinically proven preventive measures for varicocele progression.
Is there any natural way of getting testosterone boost up quickly? What should i take on a regular basis on diet.
There is no such specific diet which can boost up testosterone levels.
I am right now wearing Jockey sports, which is a tight underwear. Is this fine?
Support is usually necessary when doing exercise and other strenuous activities. Cannot particularly recommend a brand of underwear for this. Depends on the comfort of individual.
Hope it helps.
