Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Addiction can cause fantasy effects. You can help in reducing the effects by the following means;

1. Give sex education.

2. Motivate for practicing physical exercises.

3. Sleep adjustment pattern.

4. Quality sleep is essential.

5. Follow a healthy and balanced diet.

6. Programming for leisure time.

7. Development of spirituality.

8. Taking a cold bath can help.

Additionally, please share more details regarding problems with intercourse - low interest in sex erection issues or early ejaculation; so I can help you with medication.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Low Libido can be because of many reasons.

1. Infections – It can be due to urine infection. We can get a complete urine test and an ultrasound of the pelvis to diagnose the cause.

2. Diabetes, hypertension – Make sure blood pressure and blood sugar is under control. If already on medication, kindly share the medication name.

3. Hormonal disturbances- Low testosterone, low levels of thyroid, high levels of prolactin can be a reason. Get tested for TFT (thyroid function tests), Prolactin and testosterone levels.

4. Obesity - You may plan for regular exercise and yoga.

5. High cholesterol – Check for lipid profile and plan for regular exercise.

6. Chronic disease or on any chronic medication – Kindly share details.

7. Anxiety can also cause libido issues.

It will help if you get a USG (ultrasound) pelvis to rule out pelvis infection. Kindly share more details regarding the above reason so that we can work on the cause and treatment. I suggest taking the tablet Mildfil (Tadalafil) 5 mg twice daily as a temporary solution.
