Brief Answer:
tablets may be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and thank you for your question. It may be a good idea for you to have some of the tablets to aid with erections for a while. It sounds like you are fine physically and emotionally. It is not uncommon for young men to have problems with erections occasionally. However, the fear and depression that you describe can make this problem worse. The tablets may give you back your confidence I expect after a short time you will no longer need them. Work on exercising daily, avoiding alcohol and eat a healthy diet. Try not to worry just talk to your doctor and try to get your confidence back.
Best Regards,
Dr. Robinson

Hello doctor

thanks for d reply. but pls answer me why it is happening to my age? I should be healthier when it comes to these matters. I had an habit of alcohol nd cigarettes. but after this may be from 25 days I had quit everything. I'm physically nd emotionally fine. only this problem has occurred my mind completely. otherwise I m all right. I did have a sex continuously for 6 months. And pls also let me know if I have tablets will it not effect me in having a baby. I'm planning to have a baby now. So suggest me something on this. Pls suggest some tablet names. my local doc advised not to take any tablets as there are no such problems and ill be fine eventually.

Brief Answer:
I agree that you will be fine

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

It is really hard to know exactly why this is happening to you at this time. Alcohol and cigarettes can contribute so it is good that you have stopped them. Daily exercise like walking for 30 minutes every day can help as well. If you use the tablets (viagra, levitra, cialis) it will not cause problems with fertility. You would still be able to have children if you are using them. It is very common for young men to have this problem occasionally. Then if you begin to get depressed and worried about it it can be worse.

I agree with your local doctor that this will not be an ongoing problem for you, I only suggested that you might try the pills for a short time to get your confidence back.

Good luck to you.

Dear Doctor,

Thanks for the positive reply. I used to consume 5 to 7 cigarettes daily and 2 times a week alcohol. After my marriage I started taking 2 cigarettes a day and alcohol consumption was hardly once a week. Now totally stopped. I was masturbating 4 to 5 times a week before my marriage and after marriage I addicted for sex every day. Sex was absent only during her period time. Now even i get hard erection after meeting my local doc. He suggested me to take a tablet of Adesam 200. but due to anxiety i get nervous and my penile suddenly drops down. My local psychiatrist arranged a counselling with some of the sex therapists on 04th of this month. He will be guiding me on how to make sex. I guess it would be helpful. Pls also advice me what all the other activities will be taken part in that counselling. you must be knowing. I am going through these all activities for the first time in my life and hope it will definitely give me a positive results. After this i will close my discussion.

regards,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
relaxation

Detailed Answer:
Hello again XXXXXXX
I am a doctor not a sex therapist so I do not know exactly what they will do but I think that they will be teaching you how to relax and not be so anxious. I think they may also have you do some exercise with your wife to increase pleasure and decrease your anxiety and fear around this subject.
Best regards to you.
