New meta-analysis

There are many problems with this article, which contains errors and omits important info.

The most immediate improvement would be to add a citation for a new meta-analysis in a high-quality journal. Here's a suggested sentence:

In men with low testosterone, use of testosterone replacement therapy improves a man's erectile function (ability to get erections of the penis) and increases a man's sexual desire and sexual satisfaction but it can also cause erythrocytosis (too many red blood cells). ^[1]
