Brief Answer:
Low testosterone levels

Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are feeling tired low sex drive and reduced erections and all these symptoms are consistent with low testosterone levels. I recommend that you see your medical provider and have them check you testosterone levels.

I'm not totally surprised by your answer but reassured that it came from a professional. The number of low "T" ads on TV and in the mail is never ending and I assume the products are as worthless as the huge number of E.D. pills being advertised, all worthless. Anyway, my question is, what are the common treatments for low testosterone, pills, shots or other?

Answered by Dr. Ronald Schubert (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Testosterone replacement

Detailed Answer:
For testosterone replacement you can't take pills as the liver metabolizes the pill and is worthless. You have to either use an injection once every 2 weeks or a topical cream or patch daily. Either approach is expensive but effective for reversing low T
