Best possible advice that anyone here could give you is to seek help from a urologist or endocrinologist and discuss all possible options with the doctor.
I hope he suggests any and every option for a restart before resorting to TRT. Either way, educate yourself so you can ask pertinent questions and don't make any decisions without sleeping on it first.
Best of luck.
