I'm 26 and dealing with premature ejaculation, and sometimes I feel like I might have ED too. I saw an online homeopathic doctor before who prescribed Damia Plant 20 drops, three times daily, Acidphos 200 10 drops in the morning, and Lycopodium 200 10 drops in the evening. I've been on this for about a month and a half, but I'm not noticing much change. Can you give me some guidance on what I should do next?

It seems like the current homeopathic treatment you are taking for premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction is not showing significant improvement. In such cases, you may consider trying allopathic medications like Dapoxetine (Priligy) for premature ejaculation and Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) for erectile dysfunction. Consult a urologist for dosage and prescription.
