Brief Answer:
low testosterone levels earlier, are cause of low libido.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an urologist, i can fully understand your concern.

It's good to note your testosterone levels have increased with medication.
You've not mentioned if you were taking testosterone till 7 months back.
Also mention over what period of time, this level has been achieved.

Low testosterone levels earlier, are basically the reason for low libido.

What you need to do is,send the following reports, for an expert opinion :

1. examination report of Urologist.
2. FSH,LH,PRL,blood routine,RBS,creatinine,LFT,platelets,free T4,TSH,VDRL,HIV and HbsAg.
3. scrotal doppler ultrasound scan.

According to these reports, i can give you an expert opinion.
Also send the medication you were having earlier.

Wish you well.
