Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Kindly quit tobacco immediately. Tobacco usage is one of the causes for sexual dysfunction.

You can take capsule Nano-Leo two capsules in the morning and night after food for three months, which is slow acting.

After a month, let me know how you feel. If it is not effective after three months, you have to undergo investigations.

So, get back to a sexologist online after a month.
