During sex, I am unable to maintain an erection properly, and this has been happening repeatedly. What could be the reason for this problem, and how can I manage it now to improve performance?

Difficulty maintaining an erection can happen due to many reasons, and it is more common than most people think. Stress, anxiety about performance, poor sleep, relationship tension, excessive masturbation or pornography in some cases, smoking, alcohol, lack of exercise, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and hormonal imbalance can all affect erection quality. Sometimes the problem is mainly psychological, especially if erections are normal during sleep or early morning but not during intercourse. Improving overall health often helps a lot; regular exercise, good sleep, reducing stress, quitting tobacco, limiting alcohol, and maintaining good blood sugar control can improve blood flow and confidence over time. Avoid constantly testing erections, as that can increase anxiety and worsen the cycle. If the problem has been continuing regularly for several months, or if there is reduced sexual desire, fatigue, or other health issues, it is important to get evaluated because conditions like diabetes, low testosterone, or circulation problems may need proper treatment.
How should I use Stimulo 50 Tablet?
Chandrakanta Jena
Pharm D
Stimulo 50 Tablet (sildenafil) should be taken as advised by your doctor, usually about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, and avoid taking more than one dose in 24 hours. It works best on an empty stomach, and sexual stimulation is required for it to be effective. Avoid taking this medication with high-fat meals, as this may reduce its effectiveness. Do not combine it with excessive alcohol or nitrate medicines, as this may cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
I have been masturbating for the past 4 to 5 years, and now I feel reduced tightness in my penis. I am 21 years old and feeling very stressed. What should I do?
Vikas Singh

Masturbation over the years does not usually cause any permanent change in penis tightness, and this concern is often related to anxiety. Feeling stressed can affect confidence and sexual performance. Focus on a healthy routine, regular exercise, and stress control to improve overall well-being. Avoid overthinking or guilt related to this habit. Consult a doctor if the concern continues or causes distress.
