Why am I having difficulty maintaining an erection?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern about your symptoms.

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

1. Stress, work, or family-related duties.

2. Depression.

3. Varicocele.

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.

7. Religious constraints.

8. Smoking and alcohol.

9. Long-term illness, such as cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, or any other disease, requires long-term medication.

10. Negative attitude towards your partner.

11. Hormonal issues such as thyroid issues, low testosterone.

12. Long-term drug usage.

13. Diabetes and hypertension.

I suggest you check the Doppler penis, USG (ultrasonography) pelvis, scrotum, blood pressure, thyroid profile, testosterone, and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). Please share more details regarding the above reasons so we can work on diagnosis and treatment. You need to plan for regular exercise and a proper diet. Following is the list of exercises:

List of exercises such as:

1. Basic exercises: Kegels, squats, yoga, running, or fast walking for five minutes.

2. Missionary sex position: Planks, push-ups, mountain climbers, and glute bridges.

3. Standing sex position: Bicep curls, pull-ups, and jump squats.

4. Doggy style: Jump squats and walking lunges.

5. Cowgirl or the girl on top move: Glute bridges and leg raises.

I suggest you include foods such as strawberries, apples, avocados, sweet potatoes, sesame seeds, almonds, garlic, and a little chocolate in your diet. For a temporary solution, you can use tablet Tadalafil 5 mg twice a day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss, and take the medicines with their consent.

I hope this helps you.
