Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been having problems with my erection during sex. I have to take viagra medicine for erection.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern about your symptoms. According to your complaints, you may be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). Reasons for erectile dysfunction are:

  1. Stress due to work or family-related night duties - Plan for regular exercise and yoga.
  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).
  6. Homosexuality - Not attracted to same-sex.
  7. Religious constraints.
  8. Smoking and alcohol.
  9. Long-term illness - Cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, or any other disease with long-term medication.
  10. Negative attitude towards your partner.
  11. Hormonal issue - Thyroid issue, low testosterone, increased prolactin.
  12. Long-term drug usage.
  13. Diabetes and hypertension.
  14. For simple vitamin deficiency, you can use a tablet called Zincovit and Shelcal.
  15. Need to check Doppler penis, ultrasound pelvis, and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood sugar), testosterone, and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Share more details regarding the above reasons, we can work on diagnosis and treatment.
  16. You need to plan for regular exercise and a proper diet.

    1. List of exercises: Basic exercises like Kegels, squats, yoga, running, or fast walking for five minutes.
    2. Missionary sex possession: Planks, push-ups, mountain climbing, glute bridges, standing sex position: bicep Curls, pull-ups, jump squats.
    3. Doggy style: Jump squats, walking lunge.
    4. Cowgirl or the girl on the top move: glute bridges, leg raises.
    5. Food: Strawberry, apple, avocado, sweet potato, sesame seed, almond, garlic, and little chocolate.
    6. For a temporary solution, I suggest using tablet Mildfil 5 mg twice a day.
    7. I hope this helps. Thank you.
