Does Low Testosterone Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Testosterone And ED
Testosterone is the male hormone that is produced by male’s testicles and is responsible for the development of sexual characteristics in men. It can be considered as fuel to boost up your bedtime performance. Having low testosterone levels can affect your sex drive by reducing your sexual desire. It does always not interfere with your sex drive but may affect your mood and your ability to get aroused. This is left untreated and may end up with erectile dysfunction which is characterized by the inability of a man to have an erection during the sexual drive.
However, there is no direct link between erectile dysfunction and low testosterone levels but it was found to be linked with some risk factors like diabetes, heart disease, obesity that may lead to erectile dysfunction. Cenforce 50 mg is manufactured by Centurion Laboratories and an FDA-approved pill prescribed for curing erection issues in men. Low testosterone also affects your sperm count, vitality, and mobility thus affecting your fertility.

How Low Testosterone Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Erection occurs when the proper amount of blood reaches the penis causing it to get erect and hand an erection. On sexual arousal, endothelial cells and nerve impulses of the corpus cavernosum of the penis produce nitric oxide which then binds and activates the cGMP receptor to increase the production of cGMP.This cGMP, in turn, stimulates the relaxation of smooth muscles of the penis thus providing a path to the blood to reach your penis hence making it easier for you to have a firm and longer erection.
Testosterone hormone stimulates the production of nitric oxide. In absence of a normal hormonal level, the nitric oxide doesn’t produce in an adequate amount thus making it difficult to achieve or maintain erections.
Apart from low testosterone levels various physical and psychological factors also cause ED and include but are not limited to:
- Heart problems
- Hypertension
- High cholesterol
- High sugar level
- Stress
- Sleeping disorders
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Relationship issues
- Excessive intake of alcohol
- Smoking
- Substance abuse
- Poor diet
- Not exercising
Treating ED Linked To Low Testosterone Levels
When the cause behind your erection issues is low testosterone levels then it can be treated by testosterone replacement therapy. Testosterone replacement therapy or TRT not only maintains your testosterone levels but also boosts up your mood, sexual desire, provides strength to your bones and muscles, and also improves your erection issues.
Testosterone Therapy
Testosterone can be given from outside in several forms. Some of the most effective and recommended ways are:
Injections– Being the least expensive, injections are the most commonly used TRT method. They can be taken every 2 to 4 weeks.
Gels- Gels can directly be applied to your body from where testosterone is absorbed by the skin and gets released into the bloodstream slowly. They can be used daily to provide a steady rate of testosterone.
Tablets- Testosterone can also be given in the form of tablets. Strain in one such tablet is used to boost testosterone levels in the body. It is placed every 12 hours on gums just above the incisors from where it gets slowly released in the bloodstream.
Pellets– Testosterone can also be given from outside in the form of pellets. These pellets get implanted into the soft intramuscular tissues from where testosterone gets released slowly into the bloodstream.
Besides TRT, oral pills are the most commonly used treatment method to cure erectile dysfunction. Oral pills like sildenafil, vardenafil, avanafil, and tadalafil are the most widely used and recommended pills to treat the impotence of men.
Cenforce 50 mg contains sildenafil citrate and belongs to a class of PDE5 inhibitors like other ED pills.
How To Use Cenforce 50 Mg?
Cenforce 50 mg is an oral pill and should be taken by mouth as a whole without being crushed or chewed. Only one tablet of cenforce 50 mg should be taken in a day. Cenforce 50 mg should be had before 30 to 60 minutes of your planned sexual drive. It is advisable to maintain a gap of 24 hours between the two doses of cenforce 50 mg.
Mode Of Action Of Cenforce 50 Mg
Cenforce 50 mg being a PDE5 inhibitor prevents cGMP from getting decomposed by phosphodiesterase enzyme thereby stimulating the penile muscles to get relaxed and dilate causing an increased blood flow to the penis thus helps in having a firm erection.
It should be noted that sensual stimulation is required for cenforce 50 mg and other ED pills to work effectively.
Injections, vacuum pumps, penis rings, penile implants, and surgery are some other effective methods for eradicating erectile dysfunction.
Side Effects Of TRT
Despite being effective in curing low testosterone levels, testosterone replacement therapy also comes with some drawbacks. These side effects may vary from person to person and includes:
- Acne
- Sleeping disorders
- Prostate issues
- Fluid retention
- Enlargement of breasts
- Reduced testicles size
- Mood swings
- Depression
