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.

View allI'm really worried because my doctor told me to take Ivermectol 12 mg every 4 days for my hydrocele, but I haven't seen any results yet. Should I be concerned that it's not working, or might there be something else I should try?
Ivermectol 12mg is typically used to treat parasitic infections, not hydrocele. _Hydrocele Treatment_ 1. _Needle aspiration_: A procedure where a needle is inserted to drain the fluid. 2. _Surgery (hydrocelectomy)_: A surgical procedure to remove the hydrocele sac. _Ivermectol for Hydrocele_ Using Ivermectol for hydrocele treatment is unconventional and may not be effective. Ivermectol is an antiparasitic medication, and hydrocele is a condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the scrotum. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a urologist_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss alternative treatment options. 2. _Re-evaluate treatment_: Consider needle aspiration or surgery, which are more effective treatments for hydrocele. 3. _Stop Ivermectol_: Discontinue taking Ivermectol, as it may not be addressing the underlying condition.

I'm having some trouble with intimacy. It seems like my wife's vagina feels tight, and although I manage to get aroused and my penis becomes somewhat erect, it soon loses its firmness because I'm unable to penetrate. Oddly enough, I've been able to be successful with other women who aren't virgins. I'm worried because it looks like my wife is still a virgin, and most of the time, I don't even get aroused when I see her. What could be going on here?
