Q. Why can I maintain an erection only during oral sex?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. There are various reasons to have erectile dysfunction. The causes are stress due to work or family-related issues or night duties, depression, varicocele, fear of failure, low self-esteem, homosexuality, religious constraints, smoking, and alcohol drinking. Fear of failure occurs when you have a single episode of ED (erectile dysfunction) that can make you think that you will end up with ED. The other causes are long-term illness such as cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, any other disease where long-term medication is taken, negative attitude towards your partner, hormonal problems like thyroid and low testosterone, long-term drug usage, diabetes, and hypertension.

You can do doppler penis, USG (ultrasound) pelvis and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood sugar), free T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), testosterone, and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). You can do regular exercise and take proper diet. You can do some exercises such as kegel, glute bridge, reclined butterfly pose, lying leg raise, plank, push-up, squat, hip flexor lunge, swimming, running, or a fast walk for five minutes and yoga. You can eat a strawberry, apple, avocado, sweet potato, sesame seeds, almonds, garlic, and chocolates. For having a temporary solution, you can take tablet Mildfil 5 mg (Tadalafil) twice a day.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
