Suggest Remedies For Performance Anxiety

Posted on Mon, 23 Jan 2017

Question: Hello Doctor,
I am suffering from performance anxiety. When I am alone, I am able to get an erection but with my wife I couldn't (65% of time) as I lose my erection atleast partially. Though I have a daughter now close to a year but we are not able to have a proper sex life. I don't want to go drugs like viagra as I fear i might get addict on it. Yes, I used to watch a lot of porn and masturbate. Please suggest me on this.

Brief Answer:
L Arginine can be used.

Detailed Answer:
Hi thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. You are accepting that the problem is due to performance anxiety and this is a good thing. You just have to regain your lost confidence.

If you don't want to take Viagra or Sildenafil then you can take herbal supplements like L-arginine and Yohimbin.

L arginine is an essential amino acid and helps to result in strong erection naturally. The supplements are available with most good chemists. You can start taking and will see improvement in some days. This will help in building the confidence and your performance anxiety will decrease.

Thanks Take care

Thanks for the reply doctor. If you don't mind, can you please suggest me the right site for purchasing L Arginine? Also please let me know the dosage and how long should i consume.

Also, during this phase, is it advisable for me to not have any sex with my wife until I recover completely? I understand that I need to avoid masturbation and porn.

Thanks once again.

Sorry to disturb you on this. But please can you give me a clear instruction on when exactly the capsules can be taken it will be helpful and Thanks for the help

Brief Answer:
Take one soft gel capsule per day.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

Please take that 1000 mg capsule, one in evening during meals. You might feel lightheadedness for first few days but will start seeing improvement in first week. The supplement you have mentioned is also good. Increase the dose to two caps after 2 weeks.

Also enquire from some local chemist, there you can get 1500 mg L arginine supplement. Take the supplement after exercise.

Just stop remaining worried. With time you will start feeling better.

Thanks. Take care
