Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 22-year-old male with a height of 6 feet, and I weigh 207 pounds. My penis does not feel erect. Before six months, it was fine, and I had good sex feelings, but now, I do not experience any good feelings, and my penis does not get erect. It seemed to happen all of a sudden. I am following a good diet, and doing adequate physical workouts, but I still do not understand why I am experiencing this issue. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I believe that you have developed an erectile dysfunction which can occur due to infection, diabetes (elevated blood glucose levels), or hypertension (elevated blood pressure). Please check your blood pressure and do a sugar test, and urine culture for MCS (microscopy, culture, and sensitivity) test and get back with the result so that I can prescribe suitable medications.

I hope this helps.

Do revert in case of any further queries.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
