Brief Answer:
Hormonal replacement or prosthesis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Since your blood testosterone level is low, first is replacement therapy with injection testosterone.
If that does not give sufficient response, then the best option is an implant prosthesis.
You should see an XXXXXXX or a urologist and he should be able to help you.
