Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My penis becomes soft during sexual intercourse. I do not know what the problem is. This is the first time I have done it. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

According to your complaints, you may be suffering from Erectile dysfunction (ED, the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex). The reasons for erectile dysfunction (ED) can include:

1. Stress due to work or family-related, night duties – plan for regular exercise and yoga.

2. Depression.

3. Varicocele – an ultrasound scrotum can help diagnose the condition.

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

5. Low self-esteem, mainly due to chronic masturbation.

6. Homosexuality – not attracted to the opposite sex.

7. Religious constraints.

8. Smoking and alcohol.

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

10. Simple vitamin deficiency – you can use tablets of Zincovit (multivitamin, multimineral, and grape seed extract) and Shelcal (Calcium and Vitamin D3).

11. Negative attitude towards your partner.

12. Hormonal issue – thyroid issue, low testosterone, increased prolactin levels.

13. Long-term drug usage.

14. Diabetes (elevated blood sugar levels) and hypertension (high blood pressure).

You need to check the Doppler penis, USG (ultrasound) pelvis and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood pressure), free T3 and T4, testosterone, and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Share more details regarding the above reasons, and we can work on diagnosis and treatment. You need to plan for regular exercise and a proper diet.

List of exercises: Basic exercises like Kegels, squats, yoga, running, or fast walking for five minutes.

1. Missionary sex possession: planks, push-ups, mountain climbers, and glute bridges.

2. Standing sex position: bicep curls, pull-ups, and jump squats.

3. Doggy style: jump squats and walking lunges.

4. Cowgirl or the girl on top move: glute bridges, and leg raises.

Food: strawberry, apple, avocado, sweet potato, sesame seed, almond, garlic, and a little chocolate.

For a temporary solution, you can use Tablet Maildfil (Tadalafil) 5 mg twice a day. Consult your doctor and take the medicine accordingly.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
