Posted on Mon, 15 Dec 2014
Question: Hello Doctor, I am 39 Yrs of divorcee. I have no Diabetes or BP. Whenever i discharge, Fishy smell is on the organ and if i leave it unwashed over the night, i get itching on the inner thighs or adjacent to Groin. If i apply Candid-b cream on the itching areas , it gradually subsidies. I am not in relationship/not active in sexual for the past 1.5 years. Could you please guide me on what blood/urine tests i need to undergo to identify the cause and prescribe medications. Also i was under depression since Jan'2014 and taken-up treatment from NIMHANs and since October'2014 month , i am completely cured from Depression. During the medication, i was been prescribed Nexito 10Mg, due to which , i have completely lost the sexual desire and lost sustainable Penile erection. Kindly advise me, if i can take Himalayan Tentex Forte or any other medication to regain the sexual desire. Thanks for your support.
