Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have difficulty maintaining an erection for more than a minute and frequently struggle to achieve a full erection. This issue has persisted for about six months, and sometimes my penis remains flaccid even after sexual stimulation, making it challenging to sustain an erection. Please help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Your issue is attributed to various factors such as stress, depression, varicocele (enlargement of veins within the scrotum), fear of failure, low self-esteem, homosexuality, religious constraints, smoking, alcohol, long-term illnesses, negative attitudes towards your partner, hormonal issues, long-term drug usage, and conditions like diabetes (sugar in the blood) and hypertension.

I suggest diagnostic tests like Doppler penis, USG (ultrasound) pelvis and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood sugar), free T3 T4, Testosterone, and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) are recommended for further evaluation. To address immediate concerns, I suggest using tablet Mildfil 5 mg (Tadalafil 5 mg) and tablet Duralast 30 mg (Dapoxetine 30 mg) as a temporary solution. Please provide additional details for a thorough diagnosis and treatment plan.

I hope this helps.

For further inquiries, feel free to consult me at icliniq.com.

Thank you.
