@laughlin1947 - As I said earlier, tracking down the root cause (might be causes) of ED can be frustrating and time consuming. It took me multiple internists and urologists to get to a urologist who specializes in ED and was associated with a top-notch facility - Mayo in my case.
Like many in our age cohort (I'm early 70's) testosterone production has slowly petered (pun intended) out. I was uncomfortable with HRT due to possible dire side effects. Instead, I reacted to my T levels being consistently 200 or even less, by starting a periodic regimen of inserted (inserted in my hip) bio-identical hormone pellets that time-release over a six month period or so. When my T levels are normal - I feel better, have more energy, and my libido is happily active.
Do you have a strategy to keep working towards an answer that works for you? Don't give up!
When I asked a bout what they planned to do about my libido before the implant surgery ... their answer was nothing .. too many different things at my age to go wrong .. was disappointing their attitude to say the least.
