Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I got married recently and am afraid of sex time due to erection issues. I want good sex with my partner, kindly suggest some treatment.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

According to your complaints, you may be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). Some common causes of erectile dysfunction (ED) are as follows:

• Stress due to work or family-related. Night shifts– plan for regular exercise and yoga.

• Depression.

• Varicocele – Ultrasound scrotum can help diagnose.

• Fear of failure - Having one episode of ED once may make you feel you will end up with ED.

• Low self-esteem (chronic masturbation).

• Homosexuality – Not attracted to the same sex.

• Religious constraints.

• Smoking and alcohol.

• Long-term illness like cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, or any other disease with long-term medication.

• Simple vitamin deficiency – you can use tablets Zincovit (Multivitamin) and Shelcal (Calcium and Vitamin D).

• Negative attitude towards your partner.

• Hormonal issues such as thyroid issues, low testosterone, and increased prolactin.

• Long-term drug usage.

• Diabetes and hypertension.

I suggest you do these tests: check Doppler Penis, USG (Ultrasonography) pelvis, and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood sugar), free T3 and T4, testosterone levels, and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Kindly share more details regarding the above reasons, so we can work on diagnosis and treatment. You need to plan for regular exercise and a proper diet-

  1. Basic exercises like Kegels, squats, yoga, running, or fast walking for five minutes.

  2. Missionary sex positions: Planks, push-ups, mountain climbers, glute bridges.

  3. Standing sex position: bicep curls, pull-ups, jump squats.

  4. Doggy style: jump squats, walking lunges.

  5. Cowgirl or the girl on top move: glute Bridges, leg raises.

  6. Foods: strawberry, apple, avocado, sweet potato, sesame seed, almond, garlic, and little chocolate.

  7. For a temporary solution – can use tablet Mildfil (Tadalafil) 5mg twice a day.

I hope you find this information helpful.

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

I have difficulty in erection in my penis, I ejaculate sperm after masturbation. Later I find difficulty in erection. Kindly suggest.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you take tablet Tadalafil 10mg, 60 minutes before sex. If you want an erection after masturbation you need to improve your stamina by exercise.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
