Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Instead of taking medications for your erectile dysfunction problem, it would be better for you to try the following means to sustain erection.
1. Practice 'pause and squeeze' technique regularly.
2. Do pelvic muscle strengthening exercises regularly.
3. Take foods which would improve the blood supply to the penis like milk, papaya, almonds, citrus fruits, saffron and dates.
The above measures should help you to overcome the problem gradually.
Take medication like Tadalafil only when necessary upon consultation with your Physician or Cardiologist.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.
