Problem in maintaining erection
I have a problem in maintaining an erection. I have cut on smoking and Drinking(used to occasionally heavy). I have not taken any pills ever. Please suggest how to overcome the problem
We need to investigate for Erectile dysfunction that is due to physical and psychological cause.
The presence of smoking, hypertension, diabetes increases the chances of ED due to physical cause. However, a detailed history and workup is need to know about psychological stressors and factors such as anxiety, low mood, etc which may cause psychological ED.
I therefore strongly advise you to consult a sexologist.
