Common Questions and Answers about L arginine and erectile dysfunction

l-arginine

Avatar n tn L-Arginine and L-Citrulline are quite effective in restoring sexual ability in a certain universe of patients, specifically those with diabetic neuropathy. You need to take at least 2-3 grams of L-Arginine for an effect. Purchase it in quantitities at health food stores.
Avatar m tn Thus, I need to address my erection problems while still being able to take Propecia. I read that L-Arginine could help with my erectile problems and that it works similar to Viagra. Thus, I began taking L-Arginine, 1500 mg. twice a day. It has helped but it has not solved the problem. I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Viagra, 50 mg. My question is this: Is it safe to occasionally take Viagra if I also take L-Arginine?
Avatar m tn It could be a number of things, depending on your age, health, nutrition, etc. For example, diabetes can have an effect on erections, as can many medications. Psychological reasons are also very, very common: it may be that you’re feeling stressed about things unrelated to sex, it may be that you feel “performance anxiety,” etc. Or you could be feeling physically uncomfortable.
Avatar m tn Please do more web searches and DO NOT use Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. I also have RP and ED. I bought L-arginine/Orinithine but am wary about using until I read that it's ok. Blood flow changes seem to be very bad to already bad retinal cells.
Avatar m tn Well, uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure are both precursors of erectile dysfunction. Also, some medications taken for high blood pressure can cause erectile dysfunction. So, first rule out these causes. Just taking supplements may not help. You need to be evaluated by a doctor and proper medication can help restore the erectile function. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
Avatar f tn Maybe he could take some supplements like L-arginine and start working out. That should rev him up a bit. But it could just be lack of sleep.
Avatar n tn As a matter of fact I loss my libido and got an erectile dysfunction due to Serenoa Repens, and my tests in every other area are perfect. Who knows how the serenoa repens is metabolized? how can you cure this adverse effects?
Avatar m tn I had problems of getting hard and maintaining erection so I started taking medicantions (Korean Red Ginseng, L-Arginine) and it really helped me to perform in bedroom but How can I get rid of these medications and get erection naturally
Avatar f tn But since I think you probably want to remain anonymous or are posting for someone else, if it started after you began your other meds you need to pin down which one triggered it and switch to an alternative for it. If it was there before, you can try saw palmetto, l-canatine, or l-arginine. Also check your Vitamin D and Magnesium levels. You'll have to experiment with how much of any of them to take but most are beleived to have no interactions.
Avatar m tn I have sphincter of oddi dysfunction and biliary issues......I have never heard of this! Where did you hear about this?
Avatar m tn I would suggest L-arginine, pumpkin seed supplement, and exercise. If you smoke, that's the cause. It is ruining your vascular system.
Avatar m tn I started drinking pomegrante juice and started taking L-Arginine suppliments.
Avatar f tn Erectile dysfunction in a 50 year old man is complex. There may be some performance anxiety and some vascular narrowing. He needs also to be checked out for diabetes though this has probably already been done. If he contacts me I may be able to help. Testosterone therapy, behavioral therapy and if necessary Alprostadil injection are all ways forwards. One way or the other, and this is worth remembering, ALL erectile dysfunction is manageable.
Avatar m tn Anxiety and stress play an important role in the development of erectile dysfunction; and is the most common possible cause. At a primary level, I would suggest being a bit relaxed and working on the psychological factors with your partner. You could also see a psychotherapist/ behavioral therapist for the same. It might also be beneficial to get rid of factors like smoking/ alcohol/ drugs, if involved.
Avatar f tn Some medications can cause erectile dysfunction and if you do have diabetes and have high sugar levels that are not well controlled that too can hinder your "pleasurable functions". Do make an appointment with your doctor to discuss this. The other problem may be a psychological one, but as you are "eager" to have an intimate relation with your girlfriend, I doubt that is the case, but well worth considering if all else fails. All the best.
Avatar m tn Hi, i'm 35 and I seem to have physiological erectile dysfunction. I have been under a lot of stress but my situation is now better since a few months ago. I'm having trouble getting a firm erection when masturbating that won't last long without physical stimulation. I still get erections that are firm while sleeping and waking up in the morning. I also went to see a doctor who ran blood tests and everything came out normal. My testosterone was normal too.
Avatar m tn Lack of testosterone can also decrease libido, cause erectile dysfunction, spur osteoporosis and lead to a loss of muscle tone and mass. Recent studies show that men with low levels of free testosterone are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, since the important substance is not present to protect brain cells. One way it protects is by suppressing cytokines, which are immune chemicals that promote inflammation.
Avatar m tn 9) Muira Puama Muira puama is one of the finest herbs to use for erectile dysfunction. This shrub came from Brazil and has long been used as an effective aphrodisiac and nerve stimulant in South American folk medicine. Its safety and effectiveness in improving libido and sexual function in patients has validated from clinical study. 10) Yohimbe Yohimbe is an evergreen tree that grows in western Africa in Nigeria, Cameroon, the Congo and Gabon.
Avatar m tn Hi Sheba, Noy knowing him, but this may be down to the way he has masturbated all these years, I think its down to a tight grip, look keep this at the back of your mind, its a saying, what is done by the hand is remembered by the brain, now holding that thought, if hes has been using a tieght grip, when it comes to sex you down to a featherlight touch, its now this that he needs to get back to, his penis needs to be re-educated.
Avatar m tn m exceptionally healthy, I exercise regularly both by running and anaerobic activities with and without free weights. I take great care of my diet and regularly meditate and do recreational outdoor activities such as archery and recreation swordsmanship. Throughout my youth I've read a decent amount of material on sex and sexual activity and have felt and proven myself more than competent in pleasing a woman ( at least orally.
Avatar m tn 2 years ago (27yrs old) i got blood work done and my testosterone level was 330. I knew it was low because of erectile dysfunction and at the same time frame i was in powerlifting and took high calorie meals prohormones. Prohormones lowered my testosterone levels and shoot my cholesterol level to 225. Erection quality has been poor.
20620809 tn?1504362969 sometimes things work OK), you can try some ‘natural’ and/or herbal treatments that may help. The amino acid L-Arginine is known to dilate blood vessels & help w/ erections, L-Citrulline does the same & may be even more effective. Maca root may help, and there are other herbals that you can look up online that may have some positive effects. Many co’s are marketing blends of multiple herbals & some also contain L-Arginine, L-Citrulline, or both.
