Losing Erection, Increased Heart Beat And Shivering Hands When Having Sex. Can This Problem Be Cured?
Question: My age is 33. When I was in 20's I use to get rock solid erections. Now I hardly get a solid erection. I remember when I was 22-23 years old. my penis use to erect only by removing my clothes, now it hardly erects by watching blue films.
I hardly get a sex drive. when I go to do sex, my heart beat increases, my hands start shivering and i lose my erection. Earlier I use to smoke a lot but now I have reduced to 4 cigarettes a day. this year in December I'll be getting married. I was thinking of cancelling my marriage. Is it possible to get this problem cured???
Recently I got the chance to do sex with a woman. I got over excited and lost my erection. This happened earlier also.
I work in a call centre & I get random offs so is it possible for me to set an appointment according to my convenience???
I'll wait for the reply.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.
Erectile dysfunction can be a result of a psychological or physical problem.
Psychological causes: Most common cause in young patients. These include performance anxiety, emotional weakness, inferiority complex, stress, marital or relationship problems, low mood, feelings of guilt, and the effects of a past sexual and emotional trauma. Men with psychological problem usually have normal nocturnal erections and erections upon awakening, whereas men with physical problem often do not.
Physical causes: Include neurological disorders, alcoholism, drug abuse, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, hypertension, blood vessel disease and chronic diseases.
What I can understand from your query is that you are not able to sustain hard erection which is required for intercourse. You are 33 years of age and at this age, difficulty in getting or maintain an erection is due to psychological reasons in most of the cases. Having tremors and increase heart beat before sex indicate toward psychological problem in form of performance anxiety.
Your main problem is not of erection only, but it is for sustaining erection.
I will describe some simple measures which you can incorporate and these should help you:
-First of all, quit smoking and alcohol (if you are taking any)
-indulge in physical exercise and eat a healthy diet
-Have faith in yourself and do not take any stress.
-Exercise, particularly aerobic exercise (like jogging) is very effective.
-Management of performance anxiety by psychiatrist.
We need to rule out certain medical conditions. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or thyroid conditions, poor circulation, penile venous incompetency and neurological causes. For that comprehensive evaluation and tests may also needed.
Apart from that in person examination by psychiatrist may be necessary in your case to identify and treat other psychological cause of ED.

Location:Columbia Asia Hospital, Palam Vihar, Near Gol Chakkar, Sector-23, Gurgaon
