Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 28 years old. I got married before three months. From that day onward, I am unable to maintain an erection. My penis is not erect. I had a habit of masturbation before my marriage. Please suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your problem, and I can understand your concern. The erection problem occurs mostly due to psychological issues such as stress and anxiety in your age. However, medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction or local pathology must be ruled out. Drugs like Sildenafil 50 mg or Tadalafil 10 mg are quite helpful in erectile dysfunction. These medications are avoided when taking medicines for any cardiac illness.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Do I want to take the tablet daily? What are the tests required to be done to know the exact reason?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You have to do a routine blood investigation, blood pressure, and blood sugar. If you have any medical problem, then manage it accordingly by consulting a doctor. Avoid using any substance. Do regular exercise. Take healthy food. You can take tablet Sildenafil 50 mg one hour before sexual activity if your investigations are normal.

Investigations to be done

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
