Erectile Dysfunction/Propecia?/Testosterone?...Please Help

Age of 24, take propecia.  My sexual desire dropped, no morning erections, and my ejaculate volume noticeably decreased.   After a month, and a horrible sexual experience, I through out my propecia.  Now 30, don’t get morning erections. Rarely wake up and find my penis a bit enlarged....but this is a rare event.  My sexual desire has greatly diminished, and if it was a 10 before propecia, I would say it’s now a 5.  I do get erect during sexual intimacy, but the erection quality is maybe a 5/10, and short lived.  
At 28...went to see a doctor....  My testosterone level was 350, Viagra took my erection quality from say a 5 to 7 out of 10.  Now  30, and no change. Went to a different doctor.   Testosterone came out to 305, and my response to Viagra was the same.  He said that maybe the propecia  reset my system, and now my body is producing less testosterone that it needs for the sexual function that I am looking for.  He said that although my testosterone levels may be normal (even though they are on the low side of the scale), my body needs more.  He said that he would not recommend testosterone because too many side effects.    A testosterone level of 305 being low for me makes sense to me.  When I was 22, I participated in a research study at school....and one of the things they measured was testosterone levels.  At this time my testosterone level was in the high 400's.  He gave me a urology referral.  Can propecia be the cause?, 2) Although testosterone level of 305 is normal on the charts....can it be abnormal for me?, 3) If I try testosterone, will I become dependant on it for life? 4) Is there a way to have my body make testosterone more naturally? 5) Are there medicines that can boost my body’s ability to make its own testosterone, and once I stop these medicines, by body will continue to make more testosterone?  I mean can I reset my system back to normal? 7)  Can testosterone shuts down the testosterone I am presently making, and screw me for life.

Also dudes. Never take really hot baths or showers. Also sleep naked. Nuts ain't meant to be overheated like that. Take zinc also. I still recomend test and hcg shots if test is low levels. But this is just extra advice. Also leg workouts and jogging helps too.

HCG shots may send your levels to healthy range. But in only 30 percent of cases. You many need test shots along with HCG. You should be in the 900 range. Yes it is a liftetime of needles. But sex is worth it.

Hi guys!! I know that it is very easy to take a pharmaceutical and feel better but I would reccomend you to get examined properly... It is surely more responsible to win some knowledge in any clinic that examines specifically erection problems. Does anyone get my idea?
