Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your test reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) appear normal.

Sometimes, loss of libido and erectile dysfunction are purely psychological.Destressing by talking to a psychiatrist or a psychologist helps. Yoga and meditation help as well. You can try taking a break from your routine life and go on a vacation without thinking about your condition. I am not sure how these herbal remedies are going to be helpful. However, you can try Sildenafil citrate as in Viagra 25 mg, as and when required. I hope you do not have any cardiovascular issues, as then this drug is contraindicated. I hope you do not have diabetes as well, as having diabetes causes erectile dysfunction at some point in life. Try to take Neurobion forte (Vitamin B Complex with Vitamin B12) twice a day for two to three months.

I hope you find my advice of some benefit. Good luck.
