Cannot Keep Erection For A Long Time. Masturbate Excessively, Take Vitamins. Caused By Aspirin, Tylenol?
This is my problem. I am a 43 year old male and for the last 6-8 years I have been having a problem with maintaining an erection . It can get soft within a matter of minutes and has a numblike sensation. This has happened with more than one girlfriend over the past 6-8 years. Now, there have been occassions where i m doing just fine, but then it happens again. I stopped smoking over a years ago, thought that might have been a factor, I am in shape and take vitamins too. I do masterbate an aweful lot, sometimes to porn but most often just using my imagination. Some day I will do it a min 8 times on up. I do take asprin, ibru, and tylonal alot and I was wondering if that might have something to do with it

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Erectile dysfunction is a common problem. It can be related to different factors that affect erectilte function such as the blood supply to the penis, the hormones , nervous supply, psychological factors. IT can be related to one or more of these.
Smoking can affect erectile function especially if you smoked for a long time, it would have affected the blood supply. Other illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol would also have an impact.
Though some medications can have an impact on erectile function, the medications that you mentioned are not among those.
You can consider visiting your doctor to rule out any associated problems such as the high pressure, diabetes , high cholesterol mentioned
There are different types of treatments , the most common would be the family of drugs - viagra, levitra, cialis.
I hope this helps

Hello dear..
Regarding the problem of Erectile dysfunction, it is due to decreased blood supply to the penis.
And medications like Cialis & Viagra increase blood flow to penis & maintains erection.
It can be improved by having a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey.
Connections between erectile dysfunction & excess use of porn has been reported in many studies.
For those affected, recovery takes place by 6-12 weeks & mainly involves avoiding the causative factor, that is watching porn.
You can also do oil massage of the penis...it increases blood flow & maintains the erection.
Avoid smoking & alcohol.
One more thing...avoid consuming any over the counter medication which claim to increase the size of penis or improve performance...it may be harmful.
Best thing is to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, avoid stress, get good sleep, think positive and stay happy.
Wishing you a Healthy Life.
Take care.
