*Clinically, the optimal population of men with ED who will benefit most from TRT is unclear. There were inconsistent results on the impact of age on treatment efficacy and while multiple RCTs have focused on just older men, a parallel large study on younger men is still lacking. The threshold of ED and T deficiency severity for which TRT is efficacious, the dosing of TRT, the timing for initiating combination therapy, and the duration of the treatment have yet to be outlined in clinical guidelines. Presumably, TRT monotherapy could be first-line for patients with severe T deficiency but milder forms of ED (with PDE5i as salvage therapy if the response is poor), whereas a combination of TRT and PDE5i would be first-line for those with severe T deficiency and severe ED.

*It is important to recognize that, whatever outcome is considered, the effects of TRT are clearly evident only in the presence of hypogonadal status (ie, total T < 12 nmol/L), whereas the positive effects of TRT are no longer confirmed for higher T levels. In addition, TRT alone can be effective in restoring only milder forms of ED, whereas combined therapy with other drugs is required when more severe vascular damage is present.
