Hi, I'm currently not on TRT, but recently had some tests carried out and was wondering where these results sat in the big scheme of things (most of the results are in the middle of the range, but I'm aware that these ranges don't take age, lifestyle or body shape into consideration. I honestly...

Thanks for the reply, again! I'm intrigued as to what the next set of test results come back as. I'm not on any medication and I 'think' that my libido is fairly normal, I.e. I look forward to intimacy. I do get erections at night, but they don't feel quite as firm as they should.

Thanks for the reply, things are all pointing in a similar direction. The test was done through this company.... https://www.forthwithlife.co.uk I'm seeing a so-called specialist on Monday, here: Mr C J Shukla | Edinburgh Hospitals, Murrayfield and Shawfair Park | Spire Healthcare and am...

Hi, I'm a UK based 38 year old male, who generally looks after himself, but have found over the years that I've relied on generic Sildenafil in order to have the confidence to engage in sexual intercourse. Please excuse me jumping the gun a bit, but what are people's thoughts on testosterone...
