Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted it seems that you have been facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)since last five years .
I shall be happy if you can post me more details to help me in making precise comments
1) Are you diabetic ?
2) Did you have normal sexual functions and used to get hard erection before five years
3) Is there any stress factor or Psychological factor that has cropped up very recently in your life either at work place or in personal life ?
4) Are you taking any medication for any other illness?
It is very common for every individual to face the problem of Secondary Erectile Dysfunction at some time or other in sexual life which normally gets resolved spontaneously .However if it persists for a long time one needs to consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following investigations done to establish the cause for the same .
1) Blood tests for
a) To rule out Diabetes
b) Thyroid hormone assessment
c) Testosterone levels
2) Color Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of Penis to rule out Vascular Insufficiency as a cause for your ED.
In majority of cases Secondary ED is either Psychogenic in nature . Following general measures 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..
Taking Tadalafil 5 mg every day and 20 mg one hour before on the day of planned sexual activities does help to get hard erection and to have enjoyable sex .
Further treatment will depend upon results of these tests .
