Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
Losing erection early during intercourse is most commonly seen due to stress and depression.The length of duration of erection does tend to decrease to a certain degree with smoking cigarettes, marijuana and drinking alcohol. If the testosterone level is low this can affect the duration as well. This can be checked via a simple blood test.
Good couple intimacy is the necessary to reduce the problem.
There are many agents which help this problem like exercise, particularly aerobic exercise is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction.
The medicines used for the treatment include phosphodiesterase inhibitors and alprostadil. Injections are also available to help in maintaining the erection.
Your physician will help you in choosing the best agent for you after examining you to rule out the contraindicating factors.
When pharmacological methods fail, a purpose-designed external vacuum pump can be used to attain erection, with a separate compression ring fitted to the penis to maintain it.
To increase his sex drive, you can add celery, raw oysters, banana,avocado, almonds, eggs, figs, garlic,etc to your food.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
