Hello,
The results are within the normal limit. The causes for erectile dysfunction are many like diabetes, depression, autonomic nervous system problem, excessive alcohol ingestion or tobacco smoking etc. You may need to consult your doctor to see which amongst these causes are responsible for your problem. Once diagnosis is confirmed treatment can be planned.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Your results while on the lower range of normal it is still considered within normal limits. If you are having more symptoms or erectile issues you should let your doctor know. Based on just the lab work results alone you are still in the normal range and everything lab work wise is ok.
