Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction After Medication For Asthma
HY,, I am suffering from Asthma and allergic rhinitis since childhood. I am taking corticosteroids as a treatment. I have noted much reduction in my sexual arousal, flaccid penis with too short time of ejaculation. What would be the best treatment for it.? Is Levosulpiride alone helpful.? I am unmarried. Thanx.
Long term use of steroids causes disturbance in pituitary hypothalamus axis and results in deficiency of indigenous production of Testosterone hormone .Testosterone is the main hormone that governs sexual desire and Erection .The ED and lass of libido that you have is due to side effect of long term use of steroids .
You need to consult your allergic specialist and explore possibility to modify treatment of allergic conditions with other non steroidal drugs .
Stopping steroids and taking Testosterone supplements or drugs will help to resove your sexual problems .
Hello Levosulpiride would not help the problem you have
You need to have your testosterone levels checked to see if they are low, and you need a Doppler flow study of your penis to see if there's a blood flow problem.
Medications like testosterone supplements, Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis can help here.
