Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a male, 23 years old, weight is 65 kg, height is 5'9". My penis is not getting hard for sex. The penis is getting erect but not getting hard enough. Due to this, I am not able to put my penis inside the vagina. Also, I ejaculate within 10 to 15 seconds (3 to 4 stock). And now I am avoiding sex because of this problem and getting less interest day by day. I do smoke regularly and drink occasionally also. I used to watch porn in excess and masturbate regularly. Please help me out. I am very much tensed about my future sex life. Please consult me what to do I want to get rid of this major issue. I cannot tell this issue to my family or friends also. I do not have enough money to consult a doctor privately. Please look into the matter.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your problems carefully. After getting above mentioned history, my assumption is that your problem is psychological rather than organic. But I need some information and investigation reports to confirm it further. If you want to visit any physician, I advise to consult with endocrinologist first and after excluding organic disease, you need a psychiatrist.

Masturbation and doing sex are different issues. In the case of masturbation, we try to ejaculate as soon as possible. But in case of doing sex, we try to do sex as long as possible. So there is a psychological issue. Besides this, anxiety also can precipitate this problem. So after doing some investigation and excluding organic cause, I think you need some psychological counseling.

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