Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 25-year-old male.My penis is not strong and hard so tell me, how can it be treated with medicine, exercise, or any other way?

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

I can understand your concern about your symptoms,

Based on your reported concerns, erectile dysfunction (ED) may be the issue. Potential reasons for ED include:

  1. Stress from work, family, or night duties, for which regular exercise and yoga are recommended.

  2. Depression.

  3. Varicocele, which can be diagnosed through a scrotum ultrasound.

  4. Fear of failure, particularly after one episode of ED.

  5. Low self-esteem (linked to chronic masturbation).

  6. Homosexuality, if not attracted to the same sex.

  7. Religious constraints.

  8. Smoking and alcohol consumption.

  9. Long-term illnesses like cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, or any condition requiring prolonged medication.

  10. Simple vitamin deficiency, addressable with supplements like Zincovit and Shelcal.

  11. Negative attitude towards your partner.

  12. Hormonal issues, such as thyroid problems, low testosterone, or increased prolactin.

  13. Long-term drug usage.

  14. Diabetes and hypertension.

To pinpoint the cause, consider undergoing tests such as Doppler penis, USG (ultrasound) pelvis and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (blood sugar), free T3 T4 (thyroid test), testosterone, and TSH. Provide more details related to the identified reasons for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Implementing regular exercise and a balanced diet is crucial. Recommended exercises include Kegels, Squats, Yoga, Running, or fast walking. Specific exercises for different sex positions include planks, push-ups, mountain climber, glute bridges, bicep curls, pull-ups, jump squats, walking lunge, and more. Incorporate foods like strawberries, apples, avocados, sweet potatoes, sesame seeds, almonds, garlic, and a bit of chocolate into your diet.

For a temporary solution, you may consider using tablet Mildfil (Tadalafil) 5 milligrams twice a day.
