    Hormonal Therapy for Erection Problems



    Why It Is Used

    Testosterone may be prescribed for men who have low testosterone levels. It is not recommended for men with testosterone levels in the low part of the normal range.

    Bromocriptine and cabergoline may be prescribed for men with high prolactin levels.

    Blood tests are needed to find out the levels of these hormones.
