Brief Answer:
Cause of Erectile dysfunction should be ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

i have gone through your query. Do you have any history of drug abuse or excessive smoking or alcohol intake or depression episodes? Erectile dysfunction can come in such situation in youngsters. Do you have night erections ( erection while sleeping and while getting up)?

It can also come due to increase in blood cholesterol or blood sugar or elevated blood pressure. So such reasons should be ruled out by checking serum cholesterol , blood sugar and Blood pressure level.

If those are clear then it can be due to low level of testosterone or psychological. For increasing testosterone you can have exercises like weight exercise or jogging or swimming etc and aphrodisiac foods like eggs , meat , sea foods and nuts like almonds etc. You should also have a loose under wear, avoid underwears during sleeping and avoid hot water in testicles.

If still you have problem in erections then you should go for a physical examination with an urologist to rule out any organic cause. If that is also clear then phosphodiesterase inhibitors like tadalafil will help you.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

Ashwagandha is an ayurvedic medication used for psychogenic erectile dysfunction. You can use ashwagandha powder or capsule. Sedation or sleepiness is a side effect. Usually if taken normal dosage it doesn't cause any other side effects. Normal doses range from 450 to 2 grams. If taken excess it can cause bowel upset and diarrhoea. Thyrotoxicosis is reported as a rare side effect if taken in excess.

You can include foods like- spinach and other green leafy vegetables like XXXXXXX , broccoli. Onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic.
-Green tea is also beneficial. Ginseng is also good.
-Citrus fruits like orange,lime, lemon or grapefruit.
-Beans and legumes.
-Eggs, meat and oysters.
-Omega 3 rich fishes-oily fishes, salmon etc is good.
-Oats
-Nuts like hazzelnut, almonds, cashew.
-Honey is also a good aphrodisiac.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
