Hi there ~

Firstly you might need to consult an psychiatrist to find out if you have any difficulties in your libido or have other mental health concerns like depression. Otherwise, you have a very common problem of erectile dysfunction and / or premature ejaculation and it can be easily treated with medications available during this time. The class of medication is called phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5Inh) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and it also helps with decreased libido which is a result of depression if you are going through one. I advise you to consult with a qualified psychiatrist who might be able to help in this regard. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!

Hello
Welcome to HCM

You have symptoms of weakness, easy fatiguability, stiffness of body, poor sexual drive etc. The symptoms may be occurring due to mild form of depression. Second reason may be depressive symptoms predisposed by poor sexual performance. As per my opinion you should visit a psychiatrist for expert opinion. Get your vitamin B12 levels done as low vitamin B12 may be a cause of lathery and weakness. Drugs of SSRI and SNRI class are very useful in depression and anxiety.

Thanks
