Testosterone Therapy & ED: How Fixing Low T Restores Performance
Matthew A. Schafer

How Low T Impacts Erections
• Libido & arousal: Low T dampens sexual desire and neural drive.
• Erection quality: Testosterone supports nitric-oxide signaling and nocturnal erections.
• Mood/energy: Fatigue and low mood reduce initiation and performance.
ED is multifactorial—vascular disease, diabetes, meds, sleep apnea, and stress also matter. We assess the whole picture.

Who Benefits Most from TRT for ED
• Symptoms of low T plus low total/free testosterone on morning labs (drawn properly, repeated to confirm).
• ED that only partially responds to PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra/Cialis).
• Men with secondary hypogonadism who want fertility preserved (see enclomiphene/hCG below).
What Results to Expect
• Libido & motivation: often improve in 2–4 weeks.
• Erection quality: typically 4–12 weeks as levels stabilize.
• Better response to ED meds: TRT can enhance PDE5 efficacy when low T was a limiter.
• Gains sustain with adherence, lifestyle, and proper monitoring.
