Talking about sex is the best thing you can do for yourself if you are a sexually active person. You must educate yourself about safe sex practices, regardless of who you’re having sex with.
Over the past few weeks, we got multiple sexual health queries from our readers.
Dr Ajit Saxena, Senior Consultant Urologist & Andrologist at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals answers some of the queries here.
You may be suffering from decreased testosterone levels. Testosterone is the male hormone, which among other things is responsible for proper erection. Please get your S. Testosterone (Total and Free) checked and visit a doctor.
Excessive masturbation leading to loss of erection is the biggest myth in sexual dysfunction and has been perpetuated by vested interests over the years. What you have is premature ejaculation. Please get your semen culture sensitivity test done and consult an andrologist for the same.
I doubt very much if this is a small penis problem, the problem may well be elsewhere. Consult a good sex therapist.
You have what is called ‘erectile dysfunction’ a fairly common condition particularly at your age. Now this erectile dysfunction may be a symptom of some disease process in the body, of which diabetes is the foremost. A complete health check should be starting point in your case.
Premature ejaculation is a very common problem particularly in the young. Treatment consists of pelvic exercises, psychological counselling and medicines, depending on severity of the problem. Please visit an andrologist to get a fix on the problem.
