Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You are having erectile dysfunction problem. Smoking, alcohol can lead to that problem. So it should be avoided. For erectile dysfunction rule out vascular narrowing and thrombosis like cause using penile doppler ultrasound. Total cholesterol, blood pressure also should be checked. Rule out prostatic enlargement by ultrasonography pelvis. Underlying cause should be treated. If needed, the doctor can prescribe you Sildenafil like drug to increase penile erection. Kindly provide any history of drug intake if present like a beta blocker, diuretic, etc., that affect erection. Thank you and take care. Regards.
