Posted on Sat, 5 Apr 2014
Question: I am 67 yrs male. I am in total impotency. there is no erection though I feel strong sexual urge. I have symptoms like Peyrone's and vericocele. Eurologist ruled out vericocele. Did not consult so far for Peyronie's. Kindly suggest me an expert on this problem in Mumbai to whom I can consult. I visited many Eurologist who suggest Viagra in some form which is also not working.

Brief Answer: Appears to be age related ED Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. At 67 years, many patients have erectile dysfunction and most probably at this age the common cause is organic and age related. Its very unlikely that the cause could be functional. Viagra (sildenafil) is a good option for such illnesses. Mostly the psychiatrists start at 25mg and then stop. However if its not effective then the dosages upto 100mg should be used before discarding it as ineffective. If it is still not effective then a penile doppler should be done after injection of a drug which causes penile erection. That assesses the capacity of the penis to get erect. Lastly the antihypertensive can be changed. Manytimes its the anti-hypertensive that cause erectile dysfunction as an adverse drug reaction. Regarding the doctor in mumbai, you may contact Dr. Mahinder C. Watsa Chief Consultant Medikon Sexual Sciences Sunder House, Top Floor, Opp. Park Club 10, XXXXXXX Park, Mumbai 400028, India He is a XXXXXXX doctor and has good expertise in handling erectile dysfunction.
