Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I can understand that you have been going through a lot of distress due to your sexual problems. From your description of your symptoms, I can see that you are having two problems:
1) Inadequate sexual desire
2) Erectile dysfunction
Now, there can be a variety of causes for your sexual problems - both medical causes as well as psychological causes. So, the first and most important step in management is proper evaluation. This will include a detailed medical, sexual, personal and social history, a thorough physical examination and certain investigations, as per the necessity. So, in my opinion, first diagnosing the problem is more important, so that treatment can be targetted specifically.
I would advise you to have the following tests:
1) Basic blood tests - including
lipid profile (
cholesterol), blood sugar, urea,
creatinine, etc.
2)
Testosterone levels - total and free testosterone
3) FSH / LH levels
4)
Thyroid function tests
5)
Ultrasound doppler of the penis (to check for any blood flow problems)
These tests will give you a clear picture about what your sexual problem is due to - any
hormonal problems or any other systemic problems or local problems in the penis. According to the diagnosis, further treatment can be planned.
