  • As with any medical condition, erectile dysfunction is often best treated promptly. The sooner it is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome, for the following reasons:

    First, identifying and correcting the underlying problem often helps prevent further deterioration, a natural progression of the condition.

    Second, disuse of an organ can cause progressive loss of function via progressive loss of healthy tissue. This condition is called “disuse atrophy” and is particularly important in the case of penile health.

    Third, ED is more than just a sexual problem. A fulfilling sex life can lead to greater satisfaction in many other aspects of life, including social, family and work environments.

  • Dear, I m diabetic patient 45 years old and now I m feeling myself impotent. I can’t satisfy my partner nevertheless I still have no child. Actually my nerves of penis are not tightened, so I feel myself ashamed. Kindly recommend me the medicine.
