Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 29 years old . I am married from the last 1.5 years. My problem is that from the last two weeks I am am not getting proper erection during sex. Erection comes a bit and goes out instantly. It is just happeing from the last two weeks before that I was totally fine. I am taking some herbal medicines. Please suggest me why this happening to me. Right now I cat get any erection sex only a bit if I watch some porn or like that. I am having so much tension because of that. Yes one more thing, I used to take one penis size enlarge oil but very rarely. Might be because of that oil I am having this problem. Please suggest me best possible option to cure this.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. As you are getting erections when you watch porn but are losing during sex this shows that problem is not organic. The issues are more psychological. Confido helps to boost confidence but is not proper treatment. For some times you can try tablet Tadalafil or Sildenafil. Either of these tablets if taken about half to one hour before sexual intercourse help to improve erection.

If problem persists then visit a doctor and get serum Testosterone and Prolactin levels done. If levels of both these hormones come normal then remain relaxed. No need to worry.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I do get some erection when watching porn but it goes out instantly. I have already visited doctor and had my testosterone test. Total testosterone 3.4. I think it is low so please tell me whta to do now. I am having too much stress because of all this. Rest of the things like liver function BP is fine of mine. Please advice.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes it is in slight lower ranges but this will not cause much organic issues. You can take supplements containing L-arginine and yohimbin which will help to boost the erection. These are safe to use herbal supplements and can be used even daily. Tablet Tadalafil 5 mg per day (One tablet in night after dinner) daily will boost your erection. If your weight is in obese range then that should be reduced. Over weight and obesity are common causes of low testosterone levels.

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