Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am having problems sustaining an erection when having sex or during foreplay before sex. My wife and I have had great sex in the past and this issue has arisen just recently. We are trying to have a baby and with her starting her residency in 4 months, we really need to have a baby now. Any help on overcoming this situational ED will be great.
You are suffering from erectile dysfunction. The most common cause of ED is stress. I recommend you reduce the stress in your sex life by not attaching so much concern about her getting pregnant. That amount of pressure will cause anxiety and the ED. If you still can't get good erections with stress reduction then I would recommend using one of the ED medications like Viagra or Cialis. Once you use them your confidence and the stress of performing may improve and you can have regular sex again without enhancement.
In summary 1. reduce stress 2. try Viagra or Cialis
I hope this answers your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns and questions
