Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 26 years old and recently I have started having issues maintaining an erection. I have no issues on my own but once with my partner, I experience shortness of breath and it just does not stay up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Relax and do not worry. Do you have an erection in sleep? Do you smoke? Do you have a family history of medical illness? Occasionally, erection problem may happen to everyone. In your case, I think it is because of performance anxiety as there is no problem when you are alone. So I think you need to just relax and do not feel pressure. No tests required now. If required, you can take Sildenafil 25 mg one hour before intercourse.

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