Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 39 years old and married. I am on medication for blood sugar and high blood pressure (Torglip M 50/500 mg, Udapa 10 mg, and Telma 40 mg). When I masturbate I have a good erection but when I try to penetrate with my partner I get a weak erection.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

I have read your query and understand your concern.

According to your complaints, you may be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). Reasons for erectile dysfunction (ED) include the following.

1. Stress due to work, family-related issues, and night duties.

2. Depression.

3. Varicocele.

4. Fear of failure (having one episode of ED once may make you feel you will end up with ED).

5. Low self-esteem (chronic masturbation).

6. Homosexuality (not attracted to the same sex).

7. Religious constraints.

8. Smoking and alcohol.

9. Long-term illnesses like cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, or any other disease with long-term medication.

10. Simple vitamin deficiency.

11. Negative attitude towards your partner.

12. Hormonal issues like thyroid issues, low testosterone, and increased prolactin.

13. Long-term drug usage.

Are your diabetes and hypertension under control? You need to check the doppler penis, USG (ultrasonography) pelvis and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood sugar), free T3 T4, testosterone, and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Share more details regarding the above reasons, so that we can work on diagnosis and treatment. You need to plan for regular exercise and a proper diet. You can do basic exercises like Kegels, squats, yoga, running, or fast walking for 5 minutes. For a temporary solution, you can use the tablet Mildfil (Tadafil) 5 mg twice a day. Consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

Thank you.
