[/style]
Testosterone is a hormone essential for the development of male sexual characteristics and is developed by the testicles. Testosterone is responsible for a lot of things that signify good health in a man, such as, well developed muscles, high bone density, a healthy sex drive, an adequate level of red blood cells and a general sense of well-being.
Low testosterone or an inadequate production of testosterone can cause many problems, such as erectile dysfunction, development of male breasts, obesity and so on. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is one of the recommended solutions to the problem.

To find out if you have a low testosterone, you should get tests done by a doctor and have the amount of testosterone in your blood determined.

The tests should be taken in the morning, when testosterone levels are at their highest.

Although extremely high estradiol may cause gynecomastia in some men, estradiol in itself is important for men's cognitive function, bone density and even sex drive.
Estradiol plays a critical role in libido in men taking testosterone replacement. Elevated serum estradiol has been linked to increased libido in men getting a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
According to a study done at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston with 423 participants, all male, men with high testosterone levels were found to have significantly higher libido than men with low testosterone level and those with high estradiol levels had a much higher libido than those with low estradiol levels.
60.4% of men who had both high testosterone and estradiol levels reported to have a very good libido, while only 31.3% of those with both low testosterone and estradiol levels claimed to have a healthy libido. Having high levels of estradiol means you are two times as likely to have a very good libido as those who have a low estradiol level.
