Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am in my sixties, and also I suffer from diabetes. Although the diabetes is under control for which, I am attaching the test reports with this. But, I am facing erectile dysfunction for some time now. Even though the urge is there, there is no erection. I had taken some medicines for the same too. I am moving abroad for some time. Kindly help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I understand your concern. I have reviewed your reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). The erectile dysfunction that you have could be due to anxiety. So, to overcome that choose an appropriate place for getting intimate. Set the temperature of the room according to your comfort. The room should not have bright lighting; therefore, prefer dim lights instead. Give your partner an orgasm before intercourse and ask your partner for the foreplay of at least fifteen minutes. Also. there are some exercises which can help you like the kegel exercise, plank, push-up, squat, hip flexor lunge, swimming, etc. I would suggest some medicines for the same:

  • Tablet Tadalafil 5 mg once at night after food.
  • Capsule Nano-Leo once at night after food.

You can take these medicines for one to two months. Kindly revert for more queries.

Thank you.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

I am going abroad for one year to stay with my kids and am leaving within a short duration. So I am short of time. Kindly help.
