Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Hardness is going down very fast within two minutes after intercourse. I am unable to penetrate properly with this problem. I want to harden it for some time to penetrate and release properly. I also used Sildenafil personally. But if I use this drug the semen is not releasing properly. We are trying for a baby. I have one baby girl already. I have IBS-D. I will get bloating while doing sex.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Erection problems can be due to many causes including stress and physical causes such as diabetes, hypertension, and endocrine problems. So first visit a doctor to rule out the physical condition. You can try Tadalafil instead of Sildenafil as it has lesser side effects and see does it suits you or not.

Also, avoid alcohol and tobacco products. Do regular exercise or go for a walk at least 45 minutes daily. Take healthy food. Spend enough time in foreplay.

I hope this helps.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I do not have any hypertension or diabetes. Every year I will go for a health check-up. I do not have an alcohol or tobacco habit.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is good that you do not have a major medical problems and addiction. Maintain a good lifestyle and try Tadalafil tablet and see the results. If no improvement then go for further evaluation to find the cause.

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