Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Total cholesterol level is 160 - 220 mg/dL.( according to few study while others say that upper limit is 250 mg).
Any how in your husband case cholesterol level is high ,( if L D L high then it is dangerous or not good for sexual activities).
Testosterone level is also low ,but very low ( normal 9.36-37.10 nmol/L).
Sexual activities of a person depends upon many factors as ,
Age,
habitual performer or not.
Please mention the age of your husband as age advance sexual activities diminishes.
Consultation with a psychiatrist may help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
