My name is Martin and I am a third year student of Gulu University doing a Bachelor of Agriculture. All my life I have avoided the topic of sex, let alone the act because at an early stage I realized I have issues erecting and my firs girlfriend left me because of that. I rarely get a boner save for the morning erection but when it comes to girls, it’s a whole different case and so I can not sustain a girlfriend and I am really tired of it because I love sex. I have tried local and modern remedies but they have all failed, am I being be-witched or do I have a condition? I need your help.
Hey Martin, sorry to hear this but trust me you are not missing out on a lot. A man’s impotence, or inability to achieve or maintain an erection, might be a symptom of a medical problem. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a male’s inability to get an erection that’s firm enough for sexual intercourse. The condition is also called impotence, and that’s the condition you are facing.
Erectile dysfunction is often a symptom of underlying medical problems, such as:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Neurological diseases
- Alcoholism or drug abuse
- Hypogonadism or low testosterone
- Smoking history, all of which should be checked on, so I advise you to first evaluate your past life and see if you are a victim of any of these medical problems.
Oral medications (sometimes called “erection pills”) are the most common treatment for ED and are generally effective.
They include:
- Cialis (tadalafil)
- Levitra (vardenafil)
- Stendra (avanafil)
- Viagra (sildenafil)
These ED medications can cause a dangerous and irreversible drop in blood pressure if they’re taken with certain other medications, including nitroglycerin or any other nitrates used for chest pain. Less serious side effects may include vision changes, headache, flushing, back pain, and upset stomach. Another treatment for ED is injecting Caverject (alprostadil) into the penis just before sex. Suppositories of the drug placed in the urethra may also be used instead of injections.
But in your case Martin, you say they have all failed to work. I would then advice that you go for counselling from a trained doctor so they can figure out a way of helping you.
