Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My penis becomes loose during sex; the timing is not the problem. When I start sex, my penis is hard, but after some minutes, it becomes loose.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hi,

Thank you for trusting us with your healthcare.

I have reviewed your medical history and understand your concerns.

According to your complaints, you may be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). The reasons for erectile dysfunction include:

  1. Stress due to work or family-related, night duties. Plan for regular exercise and yoga.
  2. Depression.
  3. Varicocele - Ultrasound scrotum can help diagnose.
  4. Fear of failure - Having one episode of ED once may make you feel you will end up with ED
  5. Low self-esteem (chronic masturbation).
  6. Homosexuality (not attracted to the same sex).
  7. Religious constraints.
  8. Smoking and alcohol.
  9. Long-term illness such as cardiac disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, or any other disease with long-term medication.
  10. For simple vitamin deficiency, you can use tablets Zincovit (multivitamins and multi-minerals) and Shelcal (calcium and vitamin D3).
  11. Negative attitude towards your partner.
  12. Hormonal issues (thyroid issue, low testosterone, and increased prolactin)
  13. Long-term drug usage.
  14. Diabetes and hypertension.

Need to check Doppler penis, USG (ultrasound) pelvis, and scrotum, blood pressure, RBS (random blood sugar), free T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), testosterone, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Share more details regarding the above reasons; we can work on diagnosis and treatment. You need to plan for regular exercise and a proper diet. Here are my suggestions:

  1. List of exercises: Basic exercises like Kegels, Squats, yoga, running, or fast walking for five minutes.
  2. Missionary sex position: Planks, push-ups, mountain climber, glute bridges.
  3. Standing sex position: Bicep curls, pull-ups, jump squats.
  4. Doggy style: Jump squats, walking lunge.
  5. Cowgirl or the girl on top move: Glute bridges, leg raises.
  6. Food: Strawberry, apple, avocado, sweet potato, sesame seed, almond, garlic, and a little chocolate.

For a temporary solution, I suggest you use the tablet Mildfil (Tadalafil) 5 mg twice a day.
