Customer Question

Picture

I am 48 years old, healthy except that since I was in my 30s my testosterone level has been very low. I received testosterone shots for a few weeks, and went back to normal like any other man. I remembered how well I felt after the shots both physical and sexually, and psychologically. For the last three years I have been feeling kind of low again, even depressed, but the worse part is that I have noticed that my penis size has
decreased too much, and I even fear to have sex with any woman. I do not even have sexual fantasies, and I remember that when my testosterone level was normal I did have
sexual fantasies like any other man. Why I have this problem with testosterone, I know that as we age it decreases, but my problem is more serious than that. Please help.

 

Optional Information:
Person's Gender: Male
Person's Age: 48

Already Tried:
Always had low testosterone. Penis size has decreased too much in size.

Thanks for your question. If I don't respond to you immediately, it is because I am either in the OR or traveling. I WILL get back to you ASAP.

What is your most recent testosterone level? Why are you not taking testosterone now?

I will need a blood test to be sure, but because of the symptoms I can tell they must be very low. The problem is that I do not have health insurance. I will have to pay with a credit card, I guess.

Well it sounds to me like the solution to your problem is to get into see a doctor to have your testosterone level checked. You will likely just need to be restarted on testosterone in order to solve your problems. There's no other simple way around this. Once you regain your health insurance, then you can get into see a doctor to have this evaluation done. Hope this helps.
