    Hormonal Therapy for Erection Problems



    How It Works

    Replacing testosterone, if it is low, may increase a man's sexual desire, or libido.

    Bromocriptine and cabergoline help to lower the amount of prolactin in the body. In some men, a noncancerous tumor on the pituitary gland causes the gland to produce too much prolactin.
