Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

default
Posted on Mon, 7 Jul 2014
Question: Dear Sir / Madam,

I like to get the sincere advise on my condition as it's very important in my life.If a urogologist answer my question I will be more happy.

I am facing Erectile Dysfunction i beleive.Having following symptoms which I have noticed consciously for the last two weeks.
1. No morning Erection
2. No random day erection
3. Seems to have disconnect between brain and penis signals.

Currently I am having one multivitamin with koream Gingsen for the past 10 days.

History & Reason which make me aware to notice my penis function
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I started to have sex in my life from XXXXXXX 2011.I slept with many girls. After Oct 2012
I was having super Sex life only with my girl friend till Oct 2013. I was good penis erection back then mostly she says I am a sex animal :). Most of our sex happened without condoms.I left europe after Oct 2013..

I was prescribed with Minoxdil solution 5% for hair regrowth by dermatologist on August 2013 as my hair start to fall out crazily.I applied 1mg twice a day on scalp till May 31st 2014.After that I discontinue as per advise by one of the doctor through online.

After Oct 2013 i had sex only on April 2014 and used to masturbate once every week between Oct 2013 to April 2014. But my erotic dreams and penis excitment was less than it used to before oct 2013 definetely.

My alcohol consumption ( whisky ) was high during the period Oct 2013 to May 2014 and I smoked alot too.

I had sex on April 2014 once with a Girl and had a good erection. I was statisfied.

I joined Gym on May 2014 and start to exercise 3 to 4 days in a weeks.The days I go to gym I felt fatigue and my penis was very weak.

I had sex for three continuos days with a Girl on Mid May 2014 and it was quite statisfying. My erection slightly lost when I use condoms. I had sex without condoms on the 3rd day.

On May 30th night & 31st morning I masturbated and when I try to have a sex with a girl on may 31st evening my penis erection weakened when I put condoms and it got died.I was unable to fuck her and felt ashamed.

Immediately I checked with a doctor online and he advised to stop minoxdil.he advised multivitamin with Gingsen might help. When I went through online forum I found alot of people who used minoxdil are in similar state as me.It shocked me.

From that day I started notice myself carefully.Then I noted the below points.
1. There is no morning erection happening.
2. I need to stimulate my penis with hands to excite it for masturbation and to make it erected.I masturbate on all the days last week to gain confidence on myself.
But still I felt shot of confidence now as there is no natural erection happening to me.
3. With Multivitamin tablet my penis looks little more energetic.

I have decided not to sleep with any random girls and quit smoking /drinking.

Below are my questions
1. Kindly advise how to proceed in my life.As I am in europe now medical check up's are very much expensive.
2. My mind always revolves around this problem.Always now adays i check my penis with hands mostly to see whether its lively or not.Sometime in night when i touch my penis i got disappointed and awake from sleep.
3. I am planning to get married in another two months whether it will be a dishonesty making towards the bride.
4. Whether my testorene level went low or any minoxdil caused the vascular disorder.
5. Whether once minoxdil get out of the body completely i will be alright.How much time it will take.

I am stunned for last two weeks after I start noticing it and psychological disturbed.
Your help is very much appreciated.Thanks a million.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for choosing wwwhealthcaremagic
Minoxidil is a vasodilator and can not have bad effect on erection so I can assure you that your problem is unlikely due to minoxidil.
You problem of erection seems to be due to smoking ,alcohol abuse and stress. Please assess your self on Hamilton's Depression Rating scale and stop smoking and alcohol. Adopting healthy lifestyle habits are very important for good sex life. it includes, taking balanced diet , moderate exercise and you must get your fasting blood sugar also. minoxidil does not stay in the body for long and has no effect on testosterone level. I a sure if you make these changes in life,you will be fine.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for the response.I have few follow up questions.

Whether I can continue to take multivitamin with gingseng and have any side effect?
How blood sugar level is related to erection?
Any particular reason you can able to think off on the absence of morning erection?

I am planning to take blood glucose and testorene level check after two weeks if this condition continues.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Diabetes can cause sexual dysfunction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Multivitamin is OK but ginseng can cause depression. Diabetes can cause autonomic neuropathy resulting in reduced response to touch and foreplay, atherosclerosis causing reduced blood flow to penis so erection is soft or micro angiopathic bleeds so Peyronie's disease may result . In fact, as many as 70% of patients of diabetes have some sexual dysfunction. absence of morning erection can be due to reduced testosterone level due to ageing, diabetes or smoking as well as stress .
