D/w MD: Yes you can but discuss first with your md about pros and cons. Testosterone replacement can increase your blood pressure, can increase your hemoglobin significantly , etc if you take it too much. So discuss with your pmd first so they can monitor you.

Testosteron: The only testosterone biologically active in your system is free testosterone. If that is low then you are defcient in testosterone. Creams made up by compounding pharmacist which contain the correct dose of testosterone can be used daily on the skin to raise your low testosterone to optimal levels. Usually you should consult with doctors who are familiar with this ---practicing intergrative me.
