Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction And Anxiety

Erectile dysfunction is likely related to stress & would improve with time
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note of your query.
Do you notice normal erections early morning?
Erectile dysfunction in a young male is most commonly due to anxiety Or mental stress.
Particularly after marriage, there can be anxiety in males to perform sexually in bed and this may in turn cause erectile dysfunction.
Other causes for erectile dysfunction are alcohol intake, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, being overweight etc.
These can be ruled out on history and by lab. tests for blood sugar, serum lipid profile, blood pressure measurement etc
The drug that you take works by increasing blood flow to your penis and thus helps achieve a strong erection.
There is no need to take it routinely, every alternate days. You may take it 30 minutes to 1 hour, before a planned sexual activity.
It is not for life long use.
Normally Erectile dysfunction eases with time once mental stress/ anxiety improves.
Erectile dysfunction that is due to anxiety to perform in bed also improves with time.
However, if stress Or performance anxiety is a significant issue, you may consult a psychiatrist who would start you on appropriate medications to reduce your stress/ anxiety.
