I Used To Do Methamphetamines For About 4 Years And
Question: I used to do methamphetamines for about 4 years and have been sober about a year now it has made my penis alot smaller lik my blood circulation is terrible how do i fix this
Brief Answer:
Need more information, occasional erectile dysfunction is common
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your question and I would like to know few more points like since when you are having this problem, Nocturnal erection is present or not, is there any history of premature ejaculations, any anxiety recently.
Even though, methamphetamine can be responsible for erectile dysfunction but in your case as you have mentioned that you have stopped it about 4 years back. It is less likely to be related.
Occasional erectile dysfunction is normal and may be a result of too much stress or anxiety, or a lack of sleep.
Kindly provide me with the addition information, so that I can provide you with more specific advice.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Non pharmacological approach will be enough
Detailed Answer:
Hi
It will be helpful if you provide me with those additional information that I had asked in the first post.
In any case anxiety is one of the important psychological cause of erectile dysfunction.
In your case it might be due to psychological causes like stress, anxiety.
Treatment depends on the cause. So i advice you to relax, calm down and reduce you anxiety and stress level. you will be fine. Exercise, particularly aerobic exercise is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction and also in reducing the stress. If you do smoke, try to quit.
Presently i advice you not to go for any drugs for ED, follow the conservative approach you will be fine.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
