Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My penis is not fully erect for a few days. So, what can I do now?

Please help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

According to your complaints, you may be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED).

Reasons for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) include,

1. Stress due to work or family-related, and night duties.

2. Depression.

3. Varicocele – Ultrasound scrotum can help diagnose.

4. Fear of failure - Having one episode of ED once may make you feel you will end up with ED.

5. Low self-esteem (chronic masturbation).

4 Homosexuality.

5. Religious constraints.

6. Smoking and alcohol.

7. Long-term illness – Cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, or any other disease with long-term medication.

8. Simple vitamin deficiency.

9. Negative attitude towards your partner.

10. Hormonal issues like thyroid issues, low testosterone, and increased prolactin.

11. Long-term drug usage.

12. Diabetes and hypertension.

I suggest you do Doppler Penis, ultrasound pelvis, and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood sugar), and testosterone levels. Practice a healthy lifestyle.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.
