Erectile Dysfunction and Impotence and Testosterone Levels

Certainly sexual interest and ability have hormonal bases but may also have roots in our emotion. It can be quite difficult separating the two at times. The use of "recreational drugs" may produce profound effects and yet not be detectable by the lab tests. Also, that one gets better on treatment does not mean that the cause is thereby established. Borderline testosterone values generally have not been associated with decreased libido nor Erectile dysfunction. Testosterone injections do, however, increase sexual arousal and may make you feel better. Testosterone levels vary according to the time of day during which they were obtained and after therapy is initiated will vary with the relationship between the test and the dose of testosterone. Some feel that free testosterone maybe a more accurate measure of testosterone level than the total value that you provided. Usually a low testosterone is associated with a low stimulus to its production (LH). Testosterone is at its peak in the morning. You should not have a testosterone drawn in the afternoon. If you are having Erectile dysfunction, then you should see a urologist. He or she can work-up the reason for the dysfunction and treat it appropriately. There are several new systems to transfer testosterone. There are other hormones related to the release of testosterone which may need to be evaluated to put into perspective the etiology of decreased testosterone value.

Penile shrinkage is well known to occur in cold weather. This is due to excessive contraction of the sinusoids within the penile tissue as these respond to sympathetic overstimulation. People with increased fatty tissue in the lower abdomen (suprapubic area) may have the penis partially covered by fat giving the appearance that the penis is shorter. The symptoms such as flaccidity soon after erection are the symptoms of Erectile dysfunction. The penile tissue loses it ability to store blood during erection as one gets older. Hormone levels do go down as one gets older and this may contribute to the problem.

Potent sexual enhancing herbals can dramatically increase blood flow to the penis. Penis pills can help boost blood flow to the penis and improve firmness and performance. More powerful, intense orgasms are also reported. These powerful alternatives to prescription drugs are surprisingly effective and affordable.
