Brief Answer:
Please clarify a few things.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for choosing HCM.

The fact that you are taking venlafaxine tells me that you have significant depressive disorder or anxiety disorder. I need to know the details of the symptoms.

You ED can be due to either of these or due to reduced testosterone level. Please tell me all the symptoms. I don't think that doctor has caused any damage to penis, so it may not be related. I need to look at the ultrasound report of KUB as well and urine report.
