Brief Answer:
No damage can occur due to oil application...

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for writing in.

I understand that you are worried whether the application of mint oil to your penis could have done any permanent damage to your penis.

Applying oil to the penis cannot do any permanent damage to your penis and it does not result in erectile dysfunction.

So, you don't have to worry and you can put your mind to rest. The erection problem could have been coincidental and your worry and anxiety about this itself could have lead to further erection problems.

Stop worrying about it and remain relaxed and confident - this way you'll be able to regain your erection function soon.

4.Testosterones I've 413 (241-827 ng/dL) In range
5.Sex harmones I have 29 (10-50 nmol/L ) In range

Brief Answer:
Hormonal levels are normal, don't worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

All the hormonal tests are normal and they will not go down rapidly. So, you needn't worry at all. Like I had mentioned earlier, if you reduce your anxiety / worry and be relaxed, you will definitely get back your erections and be able to have kids.

Wish you all the best.
