Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

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

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

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 over 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 penis masturbation. You can stop masturbation for one month and try hand penis masturbation. It will take two to three months for complete recovery. And regarding the erection and early ejaculation, I can help you with online prescription for erectile dysfunction.

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 to me some medicines? Is it treatable, or should I worry about anything? I am already facing this erectile dysfunction problem for many days. How much time will it take to recover from that?

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

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

I suggest,

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

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I wanted to know whether this tablet Maildfil is similar to Viagra?

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No. They both are different.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

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

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, you are right.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

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

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

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

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.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest Viagra (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.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

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

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest a starting dose of 25 mg.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

What about the shrinkage of the penis?

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Once you start medication, there will not be shrinking.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have searched on 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.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

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.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is this a permanent solution or temporary?

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This is a temporary solution. However, exercise, diet, and lifestyle modifications give you a complete cure.

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