Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My partner and I have not had sex for quite a few weeks. I have talked to him about it around three times and each time he tells me that he wants sex and wants to have more of it and that he will try to push away the thoughts of the stress he is going through that keep him from getting an erection. I can understand but why he cannot? I have needs too. I am currently taking Mono-Linyah.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Libido can be decreased if a person is undergoing stress and can affect sexual performance. I would recommend that he should either visit a psychiatrist and take some medicines if his stress is affecting his personal, social, and occupational life. The doctor will place him on some medicines which should help with the stress part.
In addition to that, you can give him some medicines like Sildenafil 50 mg or Tadalafil 10 mg to take one hour prior to having sex, provided his blood pressure is fine. This will help him achieve an erection.
