Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Many reasons can cause the problem of weak erections and low libido, so you need to be evaluated and investigated to find the cause. The main reason for these problems is diabetes mellitus, hypertension, thyroid hormone, or other hormonal issues.

If you are currently taking any medicine, then you need to check them also, as some medications can cause these side effects. So visiting a nearby doctor or psychiatrist will help you to find the underlying medical cause, if any, and then act accordingly.

If no medical cause is found, then it may be attributed to psychological issues, and then drugs like Sildenafil or Tadalafil will help you get a proper erection.

To enhance your libido and address erection problems, take a healthy diet, do regular exercise, and get adequate sleep of six to eight hours daily. Spend enough time during foreplay. Try to follow the Master and Johnson technique.

You can go to a psychiatrist to get more insight into this and how to practice it, as it can not be explained fully here.

I hope this clarifies your concern.

Thank you.
