Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

Posted on Wed, 2 Dec 2015

Question: Hi, I am a 28 year old male. My height is 5'10, and I weigh 76 kgs, leading pretty much a sedentary lifestyle. My main issue is that I am not able to get a hard enough erection even when I am sexually excited. I have been masturbating one or two times everyday for a long time now, some of it to porn and some of it to my own fantasies. Sometimes in the mornings or when I am masturbating, my penis does get a little hard but it softens very soon and is not able to sustain its (semi) hardness. I am beginning to feel worried as I am engaged and will get married very soon. Will regular exercise and lifestlye changes help me solve this issue? Please advise.

Hello Doctor,

Thank you for your swift response and for your advice. Will surely follow the steps mentioned by you.

Out of curiosity, I would like to know how excessive masturbation is linked with E.D. Do the penile muscles get worn out in the process, or does it damage the arteries supplying blood to the penis?

Also, on an average, how much time do you think it might take to observe any substantial change in the condition as per the lifestyle changes mentioned by you? Is there any particular dietary supplement that can help in increasing the blood flow to the penis, or are the above points mentioned by you sufficient? I'm a little stressed due to this issue, and I fear it might only compound the situation further!

Awaiting your response.

Hello Doctor,

Thanks for your clarification. So do you suggest that masturbation should be stopped completely for the next 6-8 months? I have read about terms like 'porn-induced ED' on the internet, and how people feel that completely abstaining from masturbation for certain periods of time will ensure a 'reboot' of their erectile functioning. Also, does cyling as a form of cardiovascular exercise have any effect on the ability to get and sustain erections?

Brief Answer:
Masturbatio should not be stopped completely but restrictd .

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up and sorry for delay in answering your query due to technical problem .

There is no need to stop masturbation completely but should be restricted to once or twice a week.

Cycling regularly will help to built up your physique and indirectly benefit to improve your problem of ED.

Thanks and Regards.
