What is the treatment for maintaining erection during sex?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been using Dragon delay spray for some time now and have been using it for some time now. I used it, and when it was time to have sex, I lost my erection. Later at night, my erection came back, but it was not fully hard, and I could not maintain it. Now it is still the same. I can have an erection, and it is not very hard; it also goes down very quickly. What should I do? Please help. I also forgot to add that I get burning sensations as well, but it comes and goes, and I feel my penis is still a little bit numb.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The delay spray that you have used can cause a vasodilatation effect and can affect erection. It will last for 48 hours then things will go back to normal. The burning sensation is reactive inflammation and will be ok soon without medication. Due to this issue, please do not use the spray again.

I hope this information will help.

Thank you.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

It has been more than 48 hours, and I still feel the symptoms. Is it normal? Fine, I would not use the spray again.

Thank you.

It has a temporary effect, and it does not need treatment.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for this information.

My mind is at peace now. I was thinking of going to see a urologist. Do you think it is necessary? And please, I also wanted to know when I can have sex again.

Thank you.

There is no need to consult a urologist. You can have sex anytime.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

How long can the effect of not getting a full erection and losing the erection fast last?

Answered by Dr. Samer Sameer Juma Ali Altawil

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The longest could be six weeks. If the nerve end is damaged and needs repair, kindly take the tablet Neurobion (vitamin B1, B6, and B12) thrice daily for a month. Consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take the medications with their consent.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

Is this a Neurobion?

Answered by Dr. Samer Sameer Juma Ali Altawil

Hi,

Welcome back o icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, vitamin B12 thrice daily means eight hourly.

Thank you.
