Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have erection problems and dry orgasms sometimes due to neuropathy. I have diabetes for 15 years and on insulin. Recently, I have blood pressure and started taking medication for the same. Cholesterol is also high, but now under control. Do I have a problem with conceiving children?

Answered by Dr. Lorena Zijaj

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I saw your examination report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and there are some factors that affect your fertility and some abnormalities. First, varicocele may affect your fertility, a dilated vein can be the cause of your oligozoospermia (dry orgasm). Second, semenogram at least 40% of spermatozoids must be motile (in your only 1%) and there are abnormalities in your morphology too, 30% must be normal, in your case, there are 0% with normal morphology. Diabetes may cause abnormalities in your morphology and motility of the semen. As the characteristic of semen may vary over time and undergone normal biological variability, it is best to repeat the test at least once. If abnormalities persist you should have a urologic exam.

I would recommend a urologic exam and consult a fertility specialist.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I have dry orgasms some times and some times semen is present. Also, there is a reduction in libido. Should I use some drugs like Tadalafil? While ejaculation, I have pain on both sides which has stated recently.

Answered by Dr. Lorena Zijaj

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Tadalafil increases the blood flow to the penis, it does not enhance your sex drive or libido. It helps to maintain an erection after you are already sexually aroused. You can use it to meliorate your erectile dysfunction but Clonidine that you take can diminish the effect. You have to be careful because Tadalafil can cause hypotension. As you take antihypertensive medication too. Pain during ejaculation may be caused due to varicocele.

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