Suggest Remedy For Anxiety And Erectile Dysfunction
So I have been experiencing anxiety for the past couple months well all my life but slowly escalated but this year it went way up. I m having trouble with arousal and staying aroused. I don t get morning wood much. I wake up instantly awake. I m on citalopram for 2 weeks now. After the first couple days I was back my arousal then it suddenly went away. It s been like this before the meds. I could be put into a room with literally naked woman and still feel nothing. It s tough on my relationship and even to masterbate. I feel like I m not hormonal enough to be aroused.my counselor said that we will work on it but I feel like it might be my hormones. My testicles feel like there empty even if I don t ejaculate for a week.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. What problems you are facing with erection is mainly because of anxiety. Your confidence levels are low and that is affecting your sex life. You would definitely need psychiatric counselling sessions to overcome your problems along with use of anxiolytic medications and drugs to treat erectile dysfunction. Kindly consult Psychiatrist in this regard for complete evaluation and management. Have patience as the response is going to happen gradually. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
