What Is The Cause And Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction?
Question: I am 28 year old male. I have always mastrubated prone. I was in a relation 2 years back that is when I realised I am having issues with sex. I wasn't able to penetrate as I had semi erection and I did mastrubate porne instead of having sex. We tried having sex for 5 more days but failed. Then after reading on internet I came to know about traumatic masturbatory syndrome. I have quit masturbating prone since 3 months and can successfully mastrubate the normal way. I also have given up watching porn from a month. I can see that my foreskin now moves back which never happened before. I am getting better. I am in long distance relation now so haven't tried having sex. But I have noticed that I donot get complete erection yet. Also I need to touch my penis for getting erection. If I donot touch it, I don't get erection. What will be the right way to cure my ED? Now I am giving up mastrubaring, porn for 3 months completely. Also have started to excercise. I am a average built guy (5.5 feet 65kg) with no blood pressure, diabetes or any medical history. I want to know if I will ever get normal erection?

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction.
Please note that your problem of Erectile Dysfunction is neither due to masturbating in prone position nor watching porn moves.
In absence of any major health issue cause of Erectile Dysfunction is mind related and due to what is called as Performance Anxiety. I strongly recommend that you try the following measure till your next intercourse. It will help you to boost up your confidence and getting good erection.and delay ejaculation.
1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.
2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and Vitamin A,C,D,E.and Zinc
3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 everyday..
4) Avoid alcohol and smoking..
For short while, I also write sildenafil tablets to young patient such as yours. It can be used on demand to help you good, hard and sustainable erection to have enjoyable sex. It can be slowly withdrawn once you feel confident.
Get the prescription of drug from your family physician.
If you do not get satisfactory hard erection even after taking Viagra you will need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical evaluation and get Colour Doppler Ultrasound scanning of penis done to rule out any vascular cause (Arterial insufficiency or Venous leak) for erectile dysfunction .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,
