Suggest Remedy For Severe Erectile Dysfunction Caused By Low Testosterone Level
Question: Issue is not size, but ED. I did find out I have low testosterone, but have been taking shots every two weeks for nearly 3 months now. I can only achieve an erection with the use of prescription medication (usually Cialis or on occasion Viagra). The Cialis only works about half the time. Have to admit friend has given me Viagra a couple of times and it seemed to work better, but current family practitioner is not a fan of Viagra and wants me to continue with Cialis. Worried may have waited too long to seek help as my Wife has been by my side, but this has continued to get worse for nearly 8 years until last 2 years is not possible without mediation. Heart and kidney appears healthy. Don't drink or smoke. Some stress from work and at time sleep deprivation, but that has been lately. This started long time ago. My concern is wife never said a word to me and when I search help from doctor she only acted like no bid deal if I wanted to - does not bother her. I know after last Viagra this is not true. She has been willing to have obligation sex, but no enthusiasm or initiation and little signs of enjoyment or participation. I am 47 and we were married when I was 22. For 17-18 years she was very active in bedroom and had strong desire to be please. Any suggestions?Anxiety has been treated for some time and business has become more hectic, but I think biggest concern for anxiety getting worse is inability to be with wife the way I know she wants and I want. Wife is about 9 years younger and I know she has needs. ED came on slowly but completely full blown over year now without medication and still issues at times.
Brief Answer:
Tell your doctor you would prefer Viagra!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this ED. I understand how disturbing this can be to you. Going on for 8years, it must have made things somewhat more difficult for you and your wife. No man really ants to deal with such.
Truth is that your doctor should be flexible and work for your good as opposed to sticking to his preferences. Tell him in all sincerity and frankness that cialis doesn’t work good for you and you would like to try another alternative. Tell him a friend helped you with viagra and you think that has better results and you would like to try it. Unless he’s not understanding, he should be able to change this prescription.
Work demands are real. Manage them a mush as possible. They might have made this ED more disturbing but I am sure this is not the cause. Also, how much desire do you have towards having sex?
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
