Question : i did kegel exercises 2 years ago , but i was doing it 24 hours and i think i did it in a wrong way or something. however , after 5 months of doing it , i got erectile dysfunction. my erection was amazing and it last too much time. now it doesn't even last for few seconds and weak very short pennis . this is now going on with me for 1 year and 9 months. i test all tests and there is no cure for me cuz i don't have any problem as doctors claim. but it is not phsycological because im measuring my erection when i wake up. early morning erection is so weak and small it doesn't even good to insert it in a woman. check my reports

please note , im sure from my all previous tests it is something related to musceles or nervous system not blood. so in case you prefer to consult with another doctors together it will be good idea since my problem is very complicated and it needs a doctor who has physiotherapy back ground to help me i think.

Brief Answer:
Reverse kegels, S1 decompression.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

I have gone through all your reports and discussion which you have had with other doctors here.

I agree with them partially in their opinion that S1 compression can contribute to erectiin problems.
But I do opine that excess kegels could have also contributed to your problem of erection.

Excessive kegels can create a 'push-pull' imbalance during intercourse.

I would suggest you to practice reverse kegels exercises.
Back strengthening exercises can also help.

Other than this, cialis (upto 40mg) and vitamin C and E supplements should help.

Hope this answers your query.
Thanks.
