How do you diagnose erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's mostly based on history of symptoms such as trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection and reduced sexual desire. Tests are done to know the presence of any organic causes.

I'm wondering what foods or drinks might help with precum leakage during sex because it seems like whenever that happens, my erection weakens. Could you give me some advice on this?
To control precum leakage and maintain a strong erection during sex, you can try incorporating certain foods and drinks into your diet. Foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, beef, and pumpkin seeds, can help regulate testosterone levels and improve sexual function. Additionally, foods high in antioxidants, like berries, spinach, and nuts, can promote overall sexual health. Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated is also important for optimal sexual performance. To specifically address precum leakage, you can try herbal supplements like ashwagandha or ginseng, which are known to improve sexual stamina and control ejaculation. It's important to maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and consider incorporating these foods and supplements to help manage precum leakage and enhance your sexual experience.

I'm experiencing really bad pain in my testicles that spreads to my groin and my back thighs. My doctor had given me some antibiotics and it got better, but now, two months later, the pain is back again. I'm really worried about what's causing this recurring pain. Could you please help me figure out what might be going on?
I'm sorry you're experiencing this pain again. It sounds like you might be dealing with a recurring issue, possibly an infection or inflammation. Since antibiotics didn't fully resolve the problem, it's important to revisit your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more targeted treatment, like an ultrasound or different medications.
