Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am suffering from PE and ED. I masturbate a lot now. When I have an erection, firstly, it is hard to get an erection, and when I get hard, it is hard to maintain, and ejaculation happens very quickly. I am so worried about my future. Is this treatable? I am 20 years old. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

See, there are a few things you should know about this condition. First, if ejaculation happens within a few minutes during sex, we call it premature ejaculation. There are two types; one is the primary type that is it is from the beginning of sex life, usually a kind of genetic condition.

Secondary type, usually due to some risk factors like performance anxiety, weight, stress, or thyroid disorder, vitamin D deficiency also can contribute. Around 20 percent of males have this condition. Treatment-wise, there are natural methods, including pelvic strengthening exercises, certain diet changes, and ayurvedic supplements. Natural methods will help, and the effect is long-standing, but it may take time to show its effect. Till then, medicines may be necessary. So a combination of both is suggested, just taking medicines will solve the issue as long as you are on medicines but for a long-lasting cure, start the natural methods too so that once you stop taking medicines effect persists, I will suggest both.

Hope I have answered your query.

Thanks and regards.
