Why am I experiencing sudden erectile dysfunction at 32?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 32-year-old male. I weigh about 80 kg with a height of 5'9". I am facing erection issues since last week though there is no change in my sex drive. Also, I feel reduced morning erections too. I feel aroused but the erection does not come as it used to before a week.

Healthwise, I have sound health and have a moderately active lifestyle and pretty normal sleep pattern. Anxiety level is suboptimal due to COVID19 situation. I was using a semen volumizer herbal supplement intermittently. I am not sure if this plays any role in it too.

I drink occasionally in limits and I am a vegetarian. My food habits are healthy and I avoid junk food as such. These erection problems started just a few days ago and now they are troubling me to a bigger extent.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from erectile dysfunction for the last few days. Erectile dysfunction is usually caused by low blood flow to the penis or problems of nerve of penis which control erections. Most common cause of erectile dysfunction is psychological reasons such as stress or depression. It may have resulted from the hardening of arteries, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, high cholesterol, medications, BPH, prostatitis, hormonal disturbances, etc.

Usually, erectile dysfunction is common in everyone's life due to many causes. In most cases, it goes away over time and no treatment is needed. You can do some investments like CBC (complete blood count), urine R/M/E, RBS (random blood sugar), lipid profile, USG of W/A, PSA, etc and hormonal tests such as testosterone, LH, prolactin, thyroid function test, etc., to find out the underlying the causes which are responsible for your present sufferings and then treat them accordingly.

Thank you.
