How To Cure ED Problem?
In the last 6 day, I started experiencing ED. I am only 20, Im so depressed right now because this has never happen to me i tryed today to get an erection and my penis feels like it is retracting (shortening) all the time, and it also feels cold to the touch (especially the head), and I have much less feeling in it than I used to.The major lifestyle issues i can think of that may effect it are I drink a lot of drinks like sprite mostly i stoped that been drinkin loads of water I don't get enough sleep, I am under a lot of stress from college full time, and I went through a couple of ex girlfriends i been to the ER all week because it burns when i urinate and diarrhea they tested my urine no sign of urinary track infection doctor put me on phenazopyridine and sent another sample for STD testing but i haven't had sex in 10 months think i would have notice by now im so frustrated im about to just stop takin those pills they really serve no purpose i really wish it was something i could do i have been cryin because im so young i haven't really started my life yet for this to be happening to me i though maybe i broke something from masturbating too much doctor check that everything fine i just dont know at this point will i be permanently damaged i know its only been a week but seems like a life time i have been reading other post and there sayin not even pills are workin i havent tryed that yet i get the STD test monday hope all thats clear seems like my life going down the drain

Dear service user,
Thank you for writing to Healthcaremagic.
I understand your concern for erectile dysfunction (ED). I can read that you are frustrated and worried a lot about the future.
The problem can be cured. I will try my best to help you.
It is very common to have lack of erection or poor quality of erection occasionally. Situational reasons like fatigue tension or own ''pressure to 'perform' rather to enjoy'' is very common.
Once a person has poor erection, he becomes focused on the quality of performance during next sex. One focuses constantly on ''how do i perform''. This leads to anxiety and difficulty in erection in subsequent sexual activities. One’s anxiety goes on increasing with every ‘failure’.
For constant erection, continuous exciting/romantic/erotic feelings should be there in your mind. If your mind is diverted to concern about erection, you will lose erection. You must try to enjoy and only enjoy, without focusing on your 'performance' or quality of erection during masturbation or sexual intercourse.
Stress and anxiety also affects sexual performance. Relax and think positively. Your problem is temporary and you will surely come out of it.
Masturbation does not cause erectile dysfunction.
Your tests are normal. That is good.
You can consult your psychiatrist / sexologist for counseling.
Warm regards.

Thanks for your question.
ED is a common problem even in young people. This is not related to masturbation, STDs, or infection. It is simply an issue with blood flow. Medication such as Viagra and Cialis can be very helpful. So try one of these, and don't worry! This problem can be fixed with medication.
