Alleviates Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction
Testosterone, the male sex hormone, may sometimes decline to below-normal levels. Because of this, individuals may experience decreased sex drive or libido, which might affect their sexual life. Individuals risk developing erection problems when testosterone levels are low. Erectile problems affect men’s ability to obtain and retain an erection. It is crucial to note that low testosterone is not the sole cause of erectile dysfunction. Most cases of erectile dysfunction may be traced back to a decrease in blood flow to the penis by long-term health issues such as hypertension. Psychiatric conditions may also play a role in the development of erectile dysfunction.
Although testosterone is necessary for an erection, the precise mechanism by which this occurs is not well known. It has been shown that particular men may maintain good erections even when their testosterone levels are significantly below the average. However, there is solid evidence that chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, are all connected to low testosterone levels, which are also associated with erectile dysfunction. A doctor may recommend TRT as an intervention for a patient with low testosterone to see whether increasing testosterone levels improves erection quality.
