How To Treat Low Testerone Level, Erectile Problems And Mood Swings?
My son is 21 years old and for the past 2 years he has been complaining about low energy, erectile problems, mood swings and not being able to sleep. He went to see a urologist who said his testerone levels were a little low and he put him on a gel patch. When my son was 10 years old he had legg calve perthis and and i have read that hip problems may play a part in his problems. Can you give me some advice on what he can do to help himself. He is not overweight, he works out, eats right, he has been smoking and now has stopped and drinks very little.

Hi,
He needs to quit smoking (which he did) abstain from alcohol as much as possible. Weight lift regularly, eat a diet high in protein and vitamin-D, take zine supplements, stay hydrated, and stick to a sleep routine example go to be at 10 pm even if not sleepy and wake up at 7 am even if sleepy. Practice good sleep hygiene too such as 2 hours before going to bed no screen time, quit dark room, comfortable pillow, no fatty oily meals before bed, eliminate caffeine from the diet too, milk before bed helps too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
