Question: Hello Dr. I got married in March 2016 and had a normal sexual life. All of a sudden (since last 3 months) I am facing an erectile dysfunction. It does not hard or long enough. Is there some thing I need to take care off. Please advise how to cure this. We are also planning to have a child.
Brief Answer:
Diabetes could be the cause for the problem
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
Although diabetes could be the cause for problem but I feel excluding other possible causes is important.
I request you to provide following details so an impression can be made about the cause of problem.
1. Frequency of the problem in a week/month ? Are you able to have some successful sexual intercourse?
2. In a typical month out of what number of sexual interactions/masturbation do not achieve success?
3. What are the factors that increase the problem ?
4. Factors that relieve the problem- thoughts, situations, partner, place etc.
5. Do you get early morning erection?
6. If yes how frequent and how intense?
7. Your partner details- Is she very critical, demands sex more than what can you think, does she feel superior to you or bothers you in some other regards?
8. Effect on your relationship so far due to problem
9. Details of medical illness (diabetes and others if any), like duration, any complications, treatment received till date.
12. Medications you are receiving currently, if any including ayurvedic homeopathic or any other.
13. Medication you received in past and their effect?
14. Do you have any psychiatric illness (like anxiety, depression, fear)?
15. Investigations done till date and reports of most latest investigations- serum testosterone, TSH, T3, T4 and any other?
I must assure you that once we identify cause it will be easy to correct it.
I look forward to see more details.
Thanks and regards
