What Causes Fluctuations In Testosterone Levels While Having ED?

I will turn 63 next week. I am 5 foot 11 inches tall and weigh 250 lbs. I work out mainly upper body 3-4 times a week at a health club. Last year my testosterone level was over 300. I just received my latest test results from last week and the doctor said I was normal at 245. That sounds low to me. I already suffer from mood swings and ED. What do you suggest?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Testosterone levels and many such hormones keeps fluctuating and it is considered normal. Also, just a decrease in 50 units cannot be considered as low levels.
Healthy diet and exercise does keep your testosterone levels under check.
Your mood swings and erectile dysfunction is as a result of age.
You need to take medications like Tadalafil, which would increase blood flow to the penis to get and sustain erection. Also regular practice of 'pause and squeeze' techniques would be helpful. Include dry fruits like dates, almond and saffron in the diet. Spend more time during foreplay. Keep your mind free from stress and anxiety by practice of meditation.
Gradually, your condition should improve towards normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
