How can a man with an erectile dysfunction problem caused by long-term prone masturbation have sex?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have an erectile dysfunction problem. I have been indulging in prone masturbation since my childhood (from age 11 years), and now I am 22. I cannot maintain an erection and also ejaculate very soon. I can see that my penis has shrunk. Also, I cannot have intercourse with my partner.

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

What you do is called prone masturbation, which is not good. You can have sexual-related issues in the future, like erectile dysfunction. You need to change to hand penis masturbation. It will be difficult for a few months, but no other option; you should change over.

You can do it yourself three times a week, or you can get help from your partner to help you with hand penis masturbation. You can stop masturbation for one month and try hand penis masturbation. It will take two to three months for complete recovery. Regarding the erection and early ejaculation, I can help you with an online prescription for erectile dysfunction.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

It is frustrating for me not to perform well in bed. Can you please suggest some medicines to me? Is it treatable, or should I worry about anything? I have been facing this erectile dysfunction problem for many days. How much time will it take to recover from that?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest you do a list of exercises.

  • Kegel.
  • Glute bridge.
  • Reclined butterfly pose.
  • Lying leg raise.
  • Plank.
  • Push-up.
  • Squat.
  • Hip flexor lunge.
  • Swimming.
  • Running or fast walk for 5 minutes.
  • Yoga.

You could have foods like strawberries, apples, avocado, sweet potato, sesame seeds, almonds, garlic, and a little chocolate.

I suggest,

  • Tablet Mildfil - 5 mg twice a day for 30 days.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No. They are both different.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is it okay to use this Mildfil tablet twice daily for 30 days?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, you are right.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I am leaving the country next month, and I am meeting my partner for one last time. Will this tablet help me have sex?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, you can start the medication from today and review it after a week.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Do you suggest using viagra for now? I do not have much time to meet with my partner. However, I might meet her within two days.

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest taking sildenafil only 30 minutes before sex. You need to ensure you do not have heart or blood pressure issues. You can get severe headaches post-medication.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

What will be dosage of Viagra do you suggest for me?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest a starting dose of 25 mg.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

What about the shrinkage of the penis?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Once you start medication, there will not be any shrinking.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have searched the internet about this tablet, Mildfil, and it is suggested not to use it more than twice a day, but you asked me to use it twice daily. Is it fine to use it twice a day? I mean, it is mentioned that it must be used only before sex.

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You would have searched for Tadalafil - 20 mg, to be taken only before sex. But I suggest Mildfil - 5 mg, which is a low dose.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is this a permanent solution or temporary?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

This is a temporary solution. However, exercise, diet, and lifestyle modifications can provide a complete cure.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
