Suggest Treatment For Low Testosterone Level
Question: I.am a 68 yr old male. My libido just went flat about 2 yrs ago. My GP tested my testosterone level and told me it was low. She advised me to choose from options; pills, underarm delivery or injections. The risks seem kind of high according to my doctor but I'm also not ready to give up my sex life if testosterone therapy can help. Which of the 3 options would you recommend? I also require Cialis to get and keep a firm erection. Am I just over the hill or should I fight this problem?

There is a risk of prostate cancer to flare up if present before starting the treatment. Chances of this medicine to initiate cancer is negligible. So if PSA level is done before starting Testosterone, it should be fine.
Please note the treatment should be accompanied by healthy life style , avoidant drug of abuse and appropriate body weight.Tadalafil is safe; Intramuscular inj of 3 months is best option you will never be over the hill if motivation is good
