Over the last year, my libido and energy have decreased. It is to the point now that I have virtually no desire, even though I recently started dating an incredibly beautiful girl. Luckily, she is very understanding. Obviously though, I want to get this taken care of as soon as possible.
Some other symptoms I have are: regularly low body temperatures in the morning (the few times I’ve taken my morning temperatures, they have been in the range of 96.1 to 97.4), lack of energy, and slightly down mood. I am unable to achieve a “usable” erection, can’t remember the last time I’ve had a spontaneous erection, and the only way I can even get a partial erection is with constant manual stimulation.
My problems seemed to have started after having several infections with strep which led to my tonsils being taken out about a year ago (I don’t know if this is relevant).
After several doctors telling me I’m normal and lots of frustration, I finally found a good primary care doctor who referred me to an endocrinologist, who, in his words, is “open minded”. So this week, I’m hoping for some answers, but I’d like some feedback on my labs so I have some ideas going into my appointment.
