What Blood Pressure Medication Doesn’t Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Question:

Hi my name is Akhtar, which B.P medicine has zero chance of causing erectile dysfunction?

Answer:

Hi Akhtar,


First, you need to know that high blood pressure itself damages the lining of blood vessels and causes arteries to harden and narrow overtime (atherosclerosis), which decreases blood flow to the penis, leading to ED.
On the other hand, high blood pressure medications also can cause erectile dysfunction, interfere with ejaculation, and reduce sexual desire as side effects.
However, some high blood pressure medications are less likely to cause sexual side effects, such as:
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
• Calcium channel blockers
• Angiotensin II receptor blockers
Please ask your doctor about other medication options. It needs a complete assessment of your overall health and your current blood pressure condition to decide which medication would help you control your BP with a less negative impact on your sexual life. Your doctor also may recommend using sildenafil or vardenafil as needed.
I hope this answers your question.

How to Deal With ED Linked to Psychological Problems

Question:

Hello, my name is Sam I have been dealing with this really bad insomnia for some time now but I always had insomnia and even a sleep study done with no problems. Now with that said I usually masturbate before bed time to relax and help with sleep. A few days ago I jerked one off and went to bed and awoke an hour or so later. This has happen before so I went to jerk one out again in hopes to elevate the stress but my member was completely limp. It had no reaction whatsoever to any stimulus. This has never happened before in my life in either masturbation or sexual encounters, I always had a strong libido and would always get an erection when I wanted. This sudden impotence continues to today. My sleep is still bad but I can’t get my member up at all I don’t know what to do. It feels like I literally lost the connection from my brain to my penis. I do want to note that today at least I woke up with a morning wood. My penis was completely erect but went away extremely fast when I noticed also It didn’t “feel” like an erection. With that said I’ve been told that means that the problem is most likely not physical and more psychological. I’m just in distress over this as I have no idea why. Even when I think of or try to stimulate my member is completely dead. Please would like some advice and help.

Answer:

Hello Sam,
Erectile dysfunction has many factors and underlying causes, one of the aspects that many people overlook is the physiological aspect, and it can be in form of anxiety or pressure, anxiety, or acute stress disorder. Your sleep problem is putting a lot of stress on your body physically and mentally.
Poor sleep (less than 8 hours asleep nightly) changes the hormonal balance in your body (causing low levels of testosterone) over time, which leads to ED.
The key in dealing with ED is understanding the cause and dealing with it, in your case, I advise you first to visit your doctor and make some tests to exclude any medical/physical concerns that could be behind this issue, and if all tests come up negative then you can focus on practicing better sleep hygiene such as; fixing regular times for going to bed and for getting up, no alcoholic beverages four hours before bedtime and don’t smoke at all, no caffeine beginning six hours before bedtime (not only coffee and tea, but many soft drinks and chocolate as well), avoid heavy, spicy, or sugary foods starting four hours before bedtime, regular exercising, but not right before bed.
I hope this helps.

How to Treat a 21 year old With ED?

Question:

Hello, my name is Justin I’m reaching out because I really don’t know what the hell has happened to me. I’m a 21 year old male and I haven’t had ED until this month. I’ve always been pretty sexually active and I’ve never really had that much of a problem with porn. I would usually only masturbate like 1-2 times a week and it was never really a problem getting hard. I recently tried nofap for a couple of weeks with success and when I met my goal, I tried and I couldn’t even get hard and virtually no sexual desire. I’ve been googling so many forums and I’m honestly the healthiest I’ve ever been, food and physical fitness. I’m on a vegetarian diet, I don’t consume much sugar, I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs, and I don’t have a stressful job. I wouldn’t consider myself depressed or anxious at this point. There are not any signs of low T. I have fatigue some days, but I exercise almost every day and sometimes I am tired. I made an appointment with my doctor, but I really just don’t know what to do/ where to turn to. Any advice?

Answer:

Hello Justin,
Erectile dysfunction has many factors and underlying causes, one of the aspects that many people overlook is the physiological aspect.
A physiological aspect can be in form of: anxiety or pressure to perform under heightened anxiety, or acute stress disorder, or Low sex drive due to an underlying cause (e.g. a previous relation).
On the other hand, watching pornography and masturbation frequently can also lead to erectile dysfunction and it’s kind of connected to the first reason.
The key in dealing with this situation is understanding the cause and dealing with it, in your case, I can see you have a healthy and active lifestyle, which would help you overcome this problem quickly actually.
There is a decent chance that this could be a temporary reaction to your NOFAB achievement, and it will resolve on its own during a normal and healthy actual sexual relationship.
But In the meanwhile, I advise you first to visit your doctor and make some test to exclude any medical/physical cause behind this issue, and if all tests come up negative, then it would confirm the above assumption.
I hope this helps.

How Can I Get An Erection After Treatment For Prostate Cancer?

Question:

My name is Mathan and I’m 63 years old. I have undergone the brachy and external (Beam) Radiation Therapy for prostate cancer six months ago. I have lost my erection completely after the treatment. Tried with Viagra (from 50 mg to 100 mg 3 hours before sex ) with no avail. Using the pump is also unsuccessful. The pump I used is ebay available one, not the prescribed. When masturbated without erection a tiny bit of semen seeps through. Can my problem be fixed? Please answer.

Answer:

Hello Mathan, I’m very sorry to hear that.
First of all, you should know that up to 85% of men receiving External beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy suffer from ED because these treatment methods lead to structural changes in the penile tissue, however early ED rehabilitation after radiotherapy can help restore erectile function. The success of ED rehabilitation depends on a good assessment of overall health condition (other health issues, medications than cause ED, etc…)


The use of a vacuum erection device (VED) along with Viagra or Cialis before sexual activities usually gives the best results. However, if that doesn’t work, we then consider adding a daily low-dose of Viagra or Cialis for at least 12 weeks (it shows some benefits in some cases), if it doesn’t work, we then consider alprostadil pellets, injections or topical alprostadil, and lastly a penile implant. But it’s also very important to include an exercising program, a healthy lifestyle for eating and sleeping, pelvic floor exercises, and Psychosexual therapy.

The ED rehabilitation after radiotherapy is a complete rehabilitation program and it may take longer for some men to see good results. Please discuss with your doctor the next step of treatment, I can’t recommend a certain step for you now because I’m not fully aware of your overall health status. I hope this helps.

How Many Cialis Pills Should I Take?

Question:

Cialis last 36 hours so why would we take another one after 24 hours if it is still in effect? Well for me at least it works more than 2 days. I can take 3 Cialis a week and I would be fine.

Answer:

It looks like Cialis is offering the pill in a lower-dose form – 2.5mg & 5mg.
The Cialis pill now is in the 10mg & 20mg dose.

The price is cheaper if you order the daily Cialis Vs the 36-hour Cialis.

You could probably actually save money by ordering the daily Cialis. How many of us have sex every day? Probably not that many. I bet the daily Cialis could last us about 3 months.

Which is Better Viagra or Cialis?

Question:

I was completely blown away when I read the article on “Cialis is preferred by most men over Viagra”.

Viagra just cannot keep up with Cialis when it comes to the time it lasts. I know it is a little more expensive but Cialis does work much better and can last for 30 hours which is best for me!

Is Viagra 100mg the Largest Dose Available?

Question:

Viagra 100mg does not work for me. Is there a bigger dosage than Viagra 100mg, the 100mg does not work for me??? I bought Viagra 100mg for edrugstore.com and received it a few days ago.

Answer:

Do not attempt to take 200mg of Viagra, that is not safe. Contact your doctor and ask him, maybe he will prescribe you another ED medication like Cialis or Levitra!
