Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Erectile Dysfunction, Increased Weight, Regular Workouts, Hydrocele On Left Testacle, Shortness Of Breath While Jogging, Curved Penis, Prostate Ok. Any Idea?
I am a 62 yr old male. I have been experiencing ED for about the last 5 years. I work out regularly (3 times per week) My weight has gone from 205 to 235 in the last 10-12 years. I am 6 ft 2 inches tall and everyone says I look like I m in good shape. I do have a hydrocele condition on my left testacle. It is about the size of a fist. My doctor has tried viagra , has checked my testosterone , my bllod pressure and pulse rate are ok. I quit smoking in 93 although I do have some copd . I have some but it doesn t seem like any more than before, curvature of the penis. My doctor doesn t feel that the hydrocele is the problem. I do experience a bit of shortness of breath when jogging (slow jog in 1/4 mile increments). I read about artery disease, liver disease etc. but nothing seems to connect. Prostate is ok. Any ideas?
I understand your concerns. You need to lose weight and get back to good physical health. You have a very common problem of erectile dysfunction and / or premature ejaculation and it can be easily treated with medications available during this time. The class of medication is called phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5Inh) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and it also helps with decreased libido which is a result of depression if you are going through one. I advise you to consult with a qualified psychiatrist who might be able to help in this regard. I hope this helps.
Take care and have a lovely day!
