Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

Posted on Wed, 24 Dec 2014

Question: Hi,
How are you? I Just turned 24 two days ago, and recently I have been having erections problems whereas i cannot maintain an erection. I dont have anxiety problems nor any psych issues. My Doctor did say that my cholesterol was high, 246 total, and I have read that High cholesterol could cause ED. I was prescribed crestor not too long ago but I have read a lot about L-Arginine and how it is better to take L arginine than crestor. What do you suggest I do? How can I fix my Erection problems at my age?
Thanks

Sometimes I have high blood pressure but its under controlled now, I was never diagnosed with it.

I am not Diabetic

I visited my doctor last week about the cholesterol and I am waiting for blood results

I am Not married

When i try to have sex with my partner, it takes while to get an erection but the erection would not stay

I dont have morning erections anymore, and when I masturbate, the erection is not as strong.

and would you recommend taking both crestor and L arginine together?

You can take Crestar and L-Arginine.

Hello
Thanks for feedback.
Take these drugs as anti cholesterol and health supplements and not as a medicine to resolve your problem of ED.

Get the test done I have suggested to rule out any vascular cause of your ED.

Thanks and Regards.
