Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a healthy guy who does not smoke or drink. I am a bit overweight.

I get hard on foreplay, but when I try to have sex, my penis does not stand erect.

Answered by Dr. Yousef Abbas

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. You and I are more or less about a similar age. I see 950 patients per month. So you have every reason to trust me that it is a fact (at the same time a taboo) that men over 35 begin to lose their reliable erectile function. It is not a disease, it is nature. About 30 % older than 35 are affected (me included), 50 % of those over 42 years, 70 % in those over 55 years of age, and 95 % in those over 67 experience erectile dysfunction. That does not mean full-blown impotence but exactly the symptoms that you are experiencing. The only solution (for people with a normal healthy heart function) is and will always be Viagra. It is the blockbuster in the pharmaceutical arena. Look at the numbers, then you know why. It is safe as long as you do not have any heart disease. You will love it. It works reliably and gives you back what once was normal. Have fun and enjoy!

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