Brief Answer: Opinion of your doctor accepatble to me. Check oth Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for the query, I understand how disturbing this could be. Its true from your medical history you got issues with your drive and impotence. A blood testosterone level of 390 is within the normal limits of testosterone. Normal values should range from 240 to 950 ng/ dl generally. I am afraid I totally agree with your treating physician that nothing is required to be done with respect to drug prescription with testosterone. I would suggest other causes of low sexual drive or impotence be checked for. Thanks and kind regards. Do feel free asking further questions in case of need. Dr Bain.
