Dear patient,
Based on your symptoms (low sex drive, erectile issues, hair loss, increased abdominal fat, weight gain despite activity, and shrinking of penis size), it’s possible that you’re experiencing age-related testosterone decline (late-onset hypogonadism) — especially common after age 50.
Next Steps
1. Blood Tests (Morning sample, fasting preferred):
• Total Testosterone
• Free Testosterone
• LH, FSH
• Prolactin
• TSH
• Vitamin D, B12
• HbA1c, Lipid Profile
2. Cardiac Consideration:
Since you’ve had angioplasty and are on Bisoheart (beta-blocker) and Astolept (calcium channel blocker), some sexual symptoms may be drug-related or cardiovascular in nature. A careful balance is needed.
3. Lifestyle Optimization:
• Diet: Protein-rich, avoid alcohol/smoking, cut sugar
• Exercise: Strength training 3x/week + cardio
• Sleep: Ensure 7-8 hours quality sleep
• Stress: Manage anxiety and mental health
4. Treatment Options (If confirmed low testosterone):
• Only if cleared by your cardiologist, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be considered
• Sometimes, natural boosting and treating underlying issues (like thyroid or prolactin problems) is enough
Please consult an endocrinologist or urologist with your reports before taking any supplements or treatment. We’re here to support your recovery and well-being.
Let’s start with the blood tests and proceed step by step.
All your symptoms suggest that you are aging gracefully. Please get your Testosterone level, ICSH level and Thyroid profile and consult a General Physician or an Endocrinologist.
