Can I Take Testosterone To Increase Sexual Desire?

I want to try testosterone. I exercise regularly and I have a good diet. I am 28 and my sex drive is almost non-existent. I am tired a lot also. I had my T levels checked and they came back in the normal range, but I just feel like my levels are not normal. I would like to try testosterone and see if it helps.

Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

If the testosterone levels are within normal range testosterone supplementation is unlikely to help you in true sense. In case they are normal but in lower ranges supplement of testosterone may help in sexual desire to a good extent.

I also like to inform you that rather than total testosterone free testosterone level is more important. In case you have undergone for total testosterone it will be better if you can revisit your medical lab to get free testosterone level.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks again.
