Testosterone replacement in patients with hypogonadism remains controversial. A double-blind placebo controlled study using long-acting testosterone undeconate and involving seven UK general practices showed small changes in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (reduced from 7.61% to 7.52%) over 30 weeks but marked changes after a further 22 weeks (down from 8.3% to 7.3%). Mean weight loss was 2 kg with a 1.5 cm reduction in waist circumference.9 There was no significant increase in mean PSA and mean haematocrit was unchanged. Another meta-analysis showed significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, fat mass and triglycerides, but no significant change in total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure or BMI.10
Erectile dysfunction is an extremely important problem, with implications far beyond sexual activity. ED can be both a herald marker and a consequence of several chronic disease states. Early recognition is important because of the opportunities relating to cardiovascular risk modification.
Despite the tremendous success of currently available PDE-5 inhibitors like sildenafil and tadalafil, research continues into additional treatments that could have greater efficacy, fewer side effects, or both. Some of these are additional oral medications, while others involve new medical devices applied to the penis directly.

If Viagra doesn’t work for you, it may be due to a variety of factors, including the following:
Ultimately, the problem for clinicians is one of awareness. The signs and symptoms of ED are under-reported and are not enquired about enough routinely, which means that we miss the chance to both intervene at an early stage and to make a difference to an individual's health- (and sex-)related quality of life. If we don't ask the question, we can't do anything about the problem.
Also, it is important to remember that there are psychogenic issues such as performance-related issues, traumatic past experiences, relationship problems, anxiety, depression and stress that can certainly cause or be considered a comorbid condition contributing to ED.
What are truly the norms for testosterone levels in men and could we better determine which might actually benefit, and thus, should receive TRT?
