Erectile Dysfunction Question:
After some tests (blood, hormones, scrotum eco doppler) my andrologist said my ED is not organic. Still, it is difficult for me to maintain erections even alone (I can achieve one but fades away easily). Sex is nearly impossible without 10mg of Sildenafil.
I really want to fix this, but to who I can ask?
Since it is not organic, and I feel is not psychological (happens when I am alone too). PS: I am healthy, no illness/medication and I have a good libido.
Doctor Alsayes Answer:
You should know that above 80% of ED problems we see in our clinics are due to psychological problems and what makes them harder to treat is that many of these patients refuse to believe it’s just a psychological issue.
And since all tests prove that you have no organic cause for ED, then I’m afraid it’s a psychological issue (even if you are alone).
I’d suggest you check with a psychotherapist, and it may take some sessions because it varies from person to another and it depends on many factors; such as the severity of the issues, the commitment to the treatment plan,… etc.
Regarding Sildenafil, it can be helpful but it’s not a cure or a permanent fix for your ED, you can take it when needed until you check with a psychotherapist.
I hope this answers your question.
