Reading the chart. Baseline IIEF score of 12 (severe ED range) progressively rises through weeks 2 (17), 4 (21), 8 (25) and 12 (28) — bringing patients within the no-to-mild ED band. The trajectory illustrates a steady rise in sexual performance and satisfaction as testosterone levels normalise with consistent transdermal application. Educational illustration; not from a single FertiGel-specific clinical trial.
