Thank you again Doctor. The last time we spoke you said that I did not have ED. I wanted to thank you for that. I feel a little better now. What would you suggest I do to get more powerful erections?

I'm taking Ashwagandha and Goksura from The Himalaya medicine company and I'm also taking a multivitamin. is this okay? Also, I've stopped masturbating for about a week now.

please let me know if this is okay.

Do you need a copy of our chat transcript?
Apologies for the brief message, I'm just so super busy with work :(

Brief Answer:
tentex forte and tetrafol plus

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

Thanks for asking your query.

For improvement in normal erection I suggest supplements which help actually as well as psychologically.

You are taking Ashwagandha and Goksura from The Himalaya medicine company. I recommend Himalaya Tentex forte which includes contents you are taking. I recommend one tablet with milk at night.

And with this no multivitamin is needed if you are taking good XXXXXXX food. I recommend cow milk and ghee as well as 'Garlic' for better performance as mentioned in Ayurveda.

With this if you want to take specific multivitamin, I recommend taking medicine cum vitamin supplement containing pyridoxal-5-phosphate, mecobalamin and l-methylfolate (trade name tetrafol plus)is very helpful in my patients. This helps in dilatation of penis vessels and improves blood flow. It has shown improvement in 50-60% patients of mine with erectile dysfunction. You may get this medicine over the counter as it is vitamin product. You should take it once a day after meal.

These supplement you can take up to 2 months. Later on you can repeat the course if needed.

No need to stop masturbation completely. Do it when you feel to do so.

Masturbation is natural and normal thing. It is done by 95% of the males in the world, mostly before marriage as well as when wife is away, in menses or pregnant after marriage. It is not at all harmful. Frequency of masturbation done by an individual varies from once a day to once a week. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity.

I can see our previous discussion so no need to send it.

Hope this answer will help.

Take care.

Brief Answer:
tetrafol plus is trade name , no need to take your medicines

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for clearing your doubts.

Tentex royal contains ashwagandha and gokshura what you are taking so no need to take them separately. You can finish the same and then start tentex forte 0-0-1.

No need to take multivitamin. terafol plus contains necessary vitamins for erection. You should take it 0-1-0 after meal (in noon or evening). It is fixed dose combination by Sun pharma and no alternative brand available at present.

Take both for 2 months.

I hope your doubts are clear now.
