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've been wondering about something that's been stressing me out a bit. So, I started masturbating when I was young but stopped when I was 15, and I was still a virgin then. I picked it up again at 18 after a three-year break. Initially, I tried to delay ejaculation, but after a few weeks, I started having issues. I'm going to the bathroom way more often, and I feel some pain in my penis and testicles. Even right after urinating, I still get this urgent feeling like I need to go again. Add to this, I lost my virginity and noticed that even after doing it quite a few times, I can't hold my ejaculation for more than a minute. I still masturbate regularly 'cause I can't really control the urge, and I'm really concerned. I can't help but wonder if these issues could be connected to my masturbation habits or not. Is this something that might mess with my sex life in the future, like after getting married? Any advice or solutions would be really appreciated.
Your issues with frequent urination and rapid ejaculation may be interrelated and potentially linked to your masturbation habits, particularly the practice of holding back ejaculation, which can lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prostate issues, and ejaculatory control problems; to address these issues, consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist who can help you develop healthier masturbation habits, improve pelvic floor muscle function, and provide guidance on managing ejaculation and urinary frequency, which will be beneficial for your future sex life, including after marriage.

I'm thinking about starting Manforce 200mg because it was recommended to me. I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects that I should be aware of. Also, what's the best time to take this medicine? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
Manforce 200mg, which contains sildenafil, is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. Potential side effects include headaches, dizziness, and digestive issues. It's best taken on an empty stomach about 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity, as high-fat meals may delay its effectiveness. Always follow your doctor's advice for personalized guidance.
