Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 23-year-old male and a virgin. Over the last few years, I have observed a decrease in the strength of my erections during masturbation. My blood tests indicate slightly elevated cholesterol levels, but otherwise, they are fine. I do not engage in regular physical activity. Notably, the head of my penis does not expand until I am about to orgasm. Seeking insights into the possible causes of these changes and advice on addressing the issue. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
While it's not uncommon for men to experience changes in erectile function over time, even with normal blood test results, there may be underlying factors contributing to your decreased erectile function. To address your concerns, consider the following suggestions:
Limit alcohol and tobacco consumption, as these can negatively impact erectile function.
Incorporate regular exercise to enhance overall cardiovascular health and blood flow.
Manage stress through relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
Ensure you get sufficient sleep, as it can positively affect erectile function.
Discuss any potential psychological or emotional factors with a healthcare provider or licensed therapist.
For a comprehensive evaluation and potential treatment options, consult with a urologist or men's health specialist.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
