Please provide more details

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Before we can make any conclusions I request you to provide following details so an impression can be made about the cause of problem.

1. How long you are facing this problem (ED) ? Do you mean it is just 5 days or there was some problem in past?

2. How the problem started whether it was sudden in onset or build up slowly over the months or years?

3. Frequency of the problem in a week/month ? Are you able to have some successful sexual intercourse?

4. In a typical month out of what number of sexual interactions/masturbation ?

5. What are the factors that increase the problem?

6. Factors that relieve the problem- thoughts, situations, partner, place etc.

7. Do you get early morning erection?

8. If yes how frequent?

9. Your partner details- Is she very critical, demands sex more than what can you think, does she feel superior to you or bothers you in some other regards

10. Effect on your relationship so far due to problem

11. Details of medical illness, like duration, any complications, treatment received till date.

12. Medications you are receiving currently, if any including ayurvedic homeopathic or any other.

13. Medication you received in past and their effect?

14. Do you have any psychiatric illness (like anxiety, depression, fear)?

15. Investigations done till date and reports of most latest investigations- serum testosterone, TSH, T3, T4 and any other?

I must assure you that once we identify cause it will be easy to correct it.
I look forward to see more details.

Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
One crucial information (early morning erection) is missing

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Regarding reports everything is normal and there is nothing to worry.

Since one part of information is missing I am delineating the specialty which will be most suitable for you.

If you do not have early morning erections you need to visit a urologist in your city. He may ask for penile doppler to evaluate further.

In case early morning erections are present it will be appropriate to see a psychiatrist. He will proceed with more history and counselling to guide you through success.

I must assure you that conditions is largely treatable either with medicines and counselling.

I hope this helps you.

Brief Answer:
The details are for doctor and there is no significance in your case

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for follow up and your compliment.

The details you mentioned above do not have clinical significance in your case. They are general description of the tests and usefulness but in your case all tests came back normal. In regard to LH, FSH, Prolactin and testosterone along with other tests are within normal limits and as I said there is noting to worry.

Renal stones are not known to cause any sexual problem and I think they is mere coincidence rather than anything else.

Regarding testosterone 233 is completely normal for 36 year young male and there is no intervention required. In addition testosterone is responsible for desire and libido which I guess you have enough. In case you are particular to get more testosterone there are tablets, capsules, injections and patches available but I must acknowledge again that they are not required for you.

Regarding planned parenthood the most important thing is to eat healthy and regular exercise. In addition if your job involves heat exposure to your testis it is advisable to use ice in trouser pockets to keep the temperature of your testis down.

Regarding sexual issues before you meet urologist it will be appropriate to use Tab Megalis 10 mg once in a day preferably 2 hours before going to your partner.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
