Brief Answer:
Get your thyroid profile checked. No need to worry about testosterone level

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The first thing I would suggest you is to get your thyroid profile checked as low thyroid levels could give rise to low energy and could complicate matters. The testosterone levels are low but that does not concern me. Nevertheless, your sexual life needs a lot of psychological involvement rather than mere physical involvement. Prolonged foreplay will help you in achieving this where sildenafil will not help. You also need to regularly walk briskly and do some exercises. That will help in getting your engine running properly and would improve your energy turnover.

Try it. Also get the thyroid profile done and share the report. Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
A diet chart might be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Thanks for clarifying your exercise habits. However, you need to get a dietician advice (diet chart) and minimize the gap between the meals. It is normal to feel exhausted after sex and that can last for even a day. However, psychological involvement and prolonged foreplay is required in order to build endurance. You also need to go slow when you are nearing climax. There is nothing specific to ask your GP about testosterone.

Brief Answer:
Thanks for the update.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the update. Overall it seems fine. However, the low BP makes me a bit anxious. Be sure to drink plenty of water and fluids.

Sildenafil will help you to achieve erection. It is not mandatory and needs to be taken only if you feel it needed.
