Avatar n tn I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but when men come to this site and seek help regarding erectile dysfunction, saying "you need to prove yourself" is NOT something they need to hear or something that will help them. In fact, you are saying something that can make them feel worse.
Avatar m tn Please help! I'm 28 years old and have been masturbating frequently for as long as I remember (13 years), on average I'm guessing at least twice a day sometimes less or more. The problem I am facing over the past (8) years or so it has been very difficult to achieve an erection. I've had weak/soft erections on a regular basis, while mastrubating. I am a Virgin. I am worrying about my post marriage sexual relationship because of this erectile dysfunction.
Avatar m tn Tests however, may not be able to detect fluctuations as hormones are generally pulsatile not sustained over a period of time. Fluctuations in hormone levels may be responsible for the pattern of having erectile dysfunction (even sleep deprivation, or shifting work schedules may alter hormones). The simplest course of action may be to continue weight reduction, adequate exercise and adequate sleep, keep yourself smoke free, and try not to become frustrated if an episode of dysfunction arises.

Why not look up the Viagra website, and check out the list of symptoms that they identify as suggesting their product?

Avatar m tn Hormonal Therapy Lower concentration of the testosterone is found in majority of men suffering from the erectile dysfunction.
