Brief Answer:
Adopt healthy life style

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
The scores on a static questionnaire will only be informational and not fully reliable as against a personal examination with advice by a doctor. If you get a good morning erection, your problem is likely to be psychological. You have to assess your stress, sleep pattern and other possible factors. I suggest you to meet a doctor for formal assessment. Try to relax and adopt healthy life style.

My sleep pattern is good, 9:30pm-5:30am everyday. I do exercise seldom now. Stress is just related to work. I take proper balanced diet with fruits. Other factors I cannot analyse. It has been since beginning, ED I mean. Sexologist are difficult to find in a hospital. Who could be the alternative doctor, please suggest. I had a similar discussion last year with a doctor, I had a study on the reasons for ED and have analyzed it to be from psychological to me. I want to get rid of this completely. Pls help.

Brief Answer:
Please clarify a few points

Detailed Answer:
Hi

ED can be due to psychogenic or physical causes but mostly it is a combination of the two. Finding a qualified sexologist is difficult . There is only one hospital fully devoted to sexual health in our country, as far as I know. This is in Jaipur-Rajasthan.

If you could provide some more details, it will help in understanding your problem better, so I request you to kindly answer these questions.

Are you sexually active?
Do you have morning erections?
Why do you think you have ED ?Please describe your sex life a bit more to let me understand the problem.


You can read ED -causes, investigations and treatment on www.vivanhospital.com. You must click media, research in sexual health, and ED.

Awaiting your response to guide you further.

Are you sexually active? Yes, I do it twice a week.
Do you have morning erections? Yes,always
Why do you think you have ED ?Please describe your sex life a bit more to let me understand the problem. I find it difficult to penetrate most of the times, may be because of thickness/girth of the Penis or may be due to ED which is causing it to not sustain erection for longer duration of time during sex.

Brief Answer:
Do you focus more on performance than pleasure?

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
It really implies you can get a good erection on arousal but it is not maintained sufficiently long enough to complete the process. if it is correct, it can be due to two reasons- either you focus more on the performance of penis than on pleasure or there is a venous leakage ,not allowing penis to maintain rigidity. Are you married or not? Both causes may need different types of treatment so please assess yourself and respond

Brief Answer:
Try tab Tadalafil 5 mg

Detailed Answer:
Hi
This seems to be due to fear of failure, fear of being seen or GF not being satisfied . Ideally you should try to get over these, forget odd failure here and there, just work on receiving and giving pleasure. Having sex with GF or some one else can be quite different than with married partner .

In this context, I would suggest tab Tadalafil 30 minutes before sex if you wish. This is a prescription medicine so you need to consult a local doctor for prescription. But getting aware of the possible reason may some times help.

Hello, I had read about Tadalafil. What is the duration of the treatment ?

Is there any way to permanently increase the girth of the Penis without surgery.

Like we do exercises for other muscles in the body, is there an exercise for Penis ?
