Brief Answer:
masturbation does not cause any problem, psychiatrist can help

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You forgot to mention your age and medicines detail.

Psychiatric medicines from SSRI group like escitalopram or fluoxetine can cause sexual dysfunction.

Your problem seems to be erectile dysfunction(ED).
Treatment for ED is there. Many of the patients with ED suffer from psychological sexual dysfunction rather than physical.

For diagnosis history and some examination is needed.

For this problem best doctor to consult is psychiatrist. Psychiatrist by qualification is a sexologist also.

PDE inhibitor group of medicines are useful. Sildenafil or tadalfil can be taken just before 2 hours of sex to get good erection.You need to consult doctor for prescription of this medicine.

Ayurvedic product tentax royal and confido can also help in ED.They are mostly available over the counter.

Cow ghee(butter) and garlic are natural food helpful in sex.

Masturbation is natural process done by 90-95% of the males in lifetime to satisfy sexual desire generally before marriage. It is completely safe procedure and no harmful effect at all on future sex life.

Please revert back to me with following with details:

-your age? since when are you suffering from this problem?

-Total duration of marriage life? How is emotional attachment with your wife?

-Details of current psychiatric medicines and why were they started?

-Do you have any habit of smoking or alcohol? If yes please describe duration,frequency and quantity of the same

Waiting for your reply to help you further.

Brief Answer:
Your medicines are not respnsible for problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello Young Man,

Thanks for information and follow up.

You are recently married, was doing masturbation regularly and having no smoking and alcohol habits.All factors suggest you do not have any serious physical problem and mostly your problem will be psycho sexual.
It may be part of your depression.

Bupropion is an anti depressant and it is one of the medicines used for depression which does not cause sexual side effect.
Tetrafol plus is multivitamin which is indicated in erectile dysfunction.
So your medicines are ok and not responsible for your problem, rather they may help.

Q1. Does this deficiency worsen the situation?.
Ans:No vitamin D deficiency which is already treated not likely responsible for your problem or worsening the same.

Q2. I don't think Psychiatrist deal with the same problems(like ED), if so can u suggest some one in XXXXXXX who deals both psychiatrist & ED, I would be really be grateful.
Ans: In alopathy practice curriculum of sexology fall under psychiatry. Almost all psychiatrist are taught during their PG training to deal with sexual problems.Few of them do not practice sexology. Some doctors who do not have any degree of psychiatry are also doing practice of sexology as they may have experience or some fellowship in that field. However at least check degree that they have basic qualification of M.B.B.S.

I am not knowing personally anyone in XXXXXXX I prefer to visit a psychiatrist.I am sending you links showing psychiatrists and sexologists available in XXXXXXX Dr XXXXXXX Sundarkumar is very active on this site is also from XXXXXXX You can see his profile and visit him.Find the links below

Q3. Will there be any side effects in using tentax royal and confido(plz suggest precautions if any
Ans:Not likely any side effect. Take daily one tablet after dinner.

Q4. Is this the same reason(ED) for not able to send the semen strongly into female counterpart which results in most of white semen spill nearby or outside counterpart.
Ans:No it may be premature ejaculation in which male ejaculates early before the female partner reaches orgasm.This problem is responsible for semen spilling outside

Q5. Sometimes I find my white discharge very very thick(not at all fluid in nature) that it will stick back on my organ and the same semen(discharge) doesn't go inside the opposite part.
Ans: Semen is thick when it comes out.It can go inside only when you ejaculate deep inside vagina directly.It liquify after sometime. So this part is normal.


Q6. Sometimes i feel my organ is not lubricated enough(top skin would not be pulled back automatically as I feel there was no lubrication in my organ) so that i feel friction is too high with high discomfort in doing the intercourse, Any reason ?
Ans:Your foreskin may not get retracted completely and problem of phimosis may be there if retraction is painful.It may require manual retraction exercise or minor surgery called circumcision if needed.
If no sufficient lubrication, you can use KY jelly water based lubricant.

Q7. If these all are the symptoms of ED i would be very happy( reason known), else please let me know which specialist to be contacted reg. the same so that he could diagnose the problem
Ans: I have mentioned the link.You need to choose doctor, you can take help of your GP. Your problem is ED but responsible factors are ?phimosis/lubrication problem/premature ejaculation. For specific treatment approach physical examination and detail history are required. No need to worry. All causes are treatable.

Q8. Please suggest some medicine to use after which if no improvement seen, i would contact the recommended doctor by you.
Ans: As discussed above you can start tentax royal. For other medicines you need to consult doctor and take medicines accordingly.Continue bupron and tetrafol plus.

In my opinion preferably consult psychiatrist/sexologist with your wife for consultation. Couple sex counseling, master and XXXXXXX technique and manual retraction of skin can be learnt. With these you may not need medicines and your problem can be solved.

Hope this answer will help.
If still any query there, I will be happy to answer. If not, you can close the discussion and if feasible give your feedback and rating so I can improve my service. In future you can contact me directly on this site if you wish with this link:
