Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 23 years old and suffering from erectile dysfunction. I do not have BP or sugar. But for the last year, I am taking Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride. Are these medicines the cause?

Answered by Dr. K. V. Anand

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Please do not panic. You must understand erectile dysfunction (ED). There is nothing called erectile dysfunction while having masturbation. Losing an erection in the initial stages of sex, not having an erection at all, having a late erection, or lack of sexual desire are called erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can be a sign of a physical or psychological condition. It can cause stress, relationship strain, and low self-confidence. I suggest sex therapy. The main symptom is a man's inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Patients suffering from erectile dysfunction should first be evaluated for any underlying physical and psychological conditions. If treatment of the underlying conditions does not help, medications and assistive devices, such as pumps, can be prescribed. Yoga, meditation, and diet could be prescribed once we know the basic reasons for them. Two natural treatments for ED that have shown promise are red ginseng and pomegranate juice. Ginseng is thought to increase nitric oxide production, leading to improved blood flow. Pomegranate juice is a potent antioxidant and can help too. Watermelon could also help. Psychological reasons usually get cleared with sex therapy. I suggest online sex therapy.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
