Increasing evidence that having a low level of testosterone is not just bad for your sex life but also increases the chance of serious conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
In addition, should you develop prostate cancer it is likely to be a much more serious and aggressive form, when compared with men who have normal levels of testosterone.
This condition is common, and has traditionally been difficult to treat. The drug Bupropion is now available through the clinic. This drug has been prescribed quite frequently by sexual medicine specialists in the USA for a number of years but rarely in the UK.
There has however been a recent research study which has shown very impressive benefits, summarised as follows; the “thoughts/desire” score more than doubled in patients treated with Bupropion. 71.8% of patients were definitely satisfied with the efficacy of their treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment 78.1% were wishing to continue therapy.
Bupropion is not available on prescription for this purpose from your GP.
