Brief Answer:
No damage, please attach ultrasound report
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Since your ultrasound penis is normal, there is no damage to the flow of blood through the penis. This shows that there is no problem related to blood flow causing any problems for erection.
If you desire, please attach your penis ultrasound report with your query and I will take a second look. I do ultrasound penis on patients regularly and some of them have erection related problems due to decreased blood flow through penis and leakage of blood causing weak erections.
You have not done any permanent damage to your penis by applying mint oil but please do not allow the oil to enter the urethra opening as it can cause irritation.
High estradiol can cause decreased sexual drive and weaker erections in men. Clomid helps to lower high estradiol levels. You must reduce alcohol intake if necessary.
There might be stress related anxiety causing your erections to be weak. Please have a long foreplay and remain free from stress during sex with your partner. Try to know what your partner wants from you and also tell her your sexual needs.
Waiting for ultrasound report update from you.

Dr.Vivek

Brief Answer:
Oil did not cause high estradiol
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
You can share the ultrasound report when released by your doctor this Tuesday.
As you are getting erections during sleep and intermittently, I consider it more to be a psychological cause rather than blood supply or applying mint oil.
The oil has not caused estradiol to become high. Please follow a good diet and fitness plan.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to do with mint oil
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
I have seen the ultrasound report in detail. There is no problem from blood supply or venous drainage in your penis.
However, the doctor has commented regarding your penis having a slight curve downwards (chordee) and this is something that you need to confirm with your urologist by clinical examination. At your age, if you have been able to have good erections earlier, both during sexual intercourse and masturbation, then this does not pose a problem. Many doctors even use the term chordee for a slightly bent penis.
There is nothing to do with mint oil. As for the stress related anxiety, I wish you work on that and try to have a relaxed mind during sex.

Dr.Vivek

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
I am glad to be replying to your questions.
1. There is no erection problem due to abnormal blood flow in penis through the erectile tissues.
2. Navratna oil will not cause any erection problems.
3. The thought of small penis and shrunken testes occurs in many young men at your age and this is of a psychological nature. The symptoms are usually that one feels that the penis and testes are smaller than it was few months back and patients also report erection problems and ejaculation difficulty. This is only in the mind and not a real physical problem.
4. You might be having certain stressful conditions like too much work in office, problems with your health and thinking that you have HIV and STDs, problems in your personal life and relationships. These need attention and must be eliminated.
You may tell me any other problems in life that you are presently suffering from.

Brief Answer:
Most likely due to tiredness or anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
I suppose you are not allowing enough time to relax after coming back from work. Your mind might be preoccupied with many things or you might be having the feeling in mind that your wife expects a lot from you. This can cause stress which will not allow proper erections to happen. Please also have proper meals so that you have energy while having sex and keep your phone switched off and lights dim in your bedroom.
While most people might have ejaculation after 3 minutes, some people may have to wait for more than 15 minutes. You have not told after how long you experienced ejaculations earlier. But I think you are normal except for a minor anxiety related problem.

Dr.Vivek

Hello Doctor,
Answer to your question regarding my ejaculations.I use to ejaculate in less than 3 minutes and sometime much faster with in a minute before and after my erection problem started.
I got one more question.
do blood flow can be different from morning when compared with evening and nights,because my ultrasound scan was took at morning 9:30 and it was normal also i noticed i'm getting erections during midnights ( while im in sleep) when i touch my penile with my hand and some times with out my hand as well,but im not observing same erection behaviour rest of the day.
If blood flow is going to be different,i can check with doctor for another ultrasound scan at evening time.
Please suggest me.
Thanks a lot

Brief Answer:
Evaluate erections in evening yourself
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
I read through your response in detail.
What I find is that your erections are best when your mind is relaxed at midnight or during sleep. Normally any XXXXXXX of your age experiences 3 to 5 erections during sleep and often can wake up early in the morning with an erection. In such a situation physical problems are less likely.
It is known that stress related anxiety can block the brain signals to the penis and delay erections. A good way to know if your erection problem during sex has emotional roots is to do a simple exercise. Please keep yourself relaxed in the evening when you are completely alone and try to masturbate in peaceful surroundings. You may watch pornography or have your favorite song playing in the background and then do it, but you must be alone in the room and at peace. If you are getting proper erection as before when alone then you have a strong emotional block which i affecting your erections and you need to free your mind.
The above experiment is as good as an ultrasound scan done in the evening.
Please let me know your observations and we can discuss again.

Dr.Vivek
