Question : Hello,

I was having erection problem from the last few months. This time when i was going to gave sex with my gf for the first time, i noticed my penis was not getting erect. She even tried to do it with her hand but no success. Therefore, i tried going to local docotor nearby home. He gave me some medicines, now erection is there but my penis is in erection mode all the time. Even when i am not thinking about sex, penis is erect.

Can you please help me with some solution. I think the problem arises because i was masterbuating since i was 14 years old.

Brief Answer:
It needs evaluation

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You that you are probably suffering from erectile dysfunction disorder. First of all I would like to assure you that don’t take stress as it’s a treatable condition and stress or anxiety can further worsen it. Probably the doctor has advised you sildenafil for erection.

Masturbation doesn’t cause this. I would like to suggest you to consult a urologist at earliest as some tests are required like penile ultrasound to see the blood flow.

So consult a good urologist and hopefully you will be relieved after proper therapy.

I hope this information will guide you properly and will relieve your worries.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
