Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
You were using tentex forte since 5 years which is a natural aid for erectile dysfunction. However, it was not very useful.
First of all, you need to know the reason behind erectile dysfunction. It has got few very common reasons like diabetes, hypertension, some heart diseases, obesity, alcoholism, smoking, high cholesterol etc.
If you have any of these, you should get a proper treatment done. Even if you dont, you should get blood tests done for blood sugar, complete blood count, lipid profile etc and get checked by a doctor clinically. Also, stress and anxiety are very common causes for erectile dysfunction.
Hence, in patients with such complaints, I generally prescribe the above tests, ask them to avoid smoking, alcohol; ask them to lose weight if obese; counsel them to avoid stress and relax.
For the medicine part, sildenafil and tadalafil are very effective drugs for the same. Alprostadil is also effective. Those who do not improve with the medicine, for them only penis pumps and surgical treatment are needed which is very rare though.
You can consult your family or treating doctor about this.
Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Relax; consult a psychiatrist or psychologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
A proper treatment for your problem should be a combination of medicine and counselling with psychotherapy.
I have already discussed the medicines available for erectile dysfunction. You can consult your treating or family doctor for prescription.
Also, reduce stress and anxiety. There is nothing to be afraid of; it is curable in most of the cases. And as I told you, stress is a very important risk factor. You can consult a psychiatrist or psychologist for counselling and further advice.
Hope this helps.
