Dear Practo User,
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your concern.
Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection is a common problem and can occur due to a variety of reasons, including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, lifestyle factors, certain medical conditions (such as
diabetes or high blood pressure), hormonal imbalance, side effects of medications, or psychological factors. In some individuals, frequent masturbation or excessive pornography consumption may also contribute to performance-related concerns, but this is not the only possible cause.
From the symptoms you have described, it is possible that you are experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED). Men with ED may notice that the erection is not firm enough for penetration, or that it is lost during intercourse despite initial arousal.
The good news is that erectile dysfunction is a treatable condition. With a proper evaluation to identify the underlying cause, an individualized treatment plan can help improve sexual function and confidence. Treatment may include lifestyle modifications, counselling, medications, or other therapies depending on the diagnosis.
I would recommend scheduling a consultation so that your symptoms can be assessed in detail and the most appropriate treatment can be advised.
