I am a filarial patient for the last 8 yrs.For the last 2 yrs I am suffering from sexual problems (erectile dysfunction,premature ejaculation,loss of libido).I haven't had sex with my wife for the last 2 yrs.I have been married for the last 19 yrs & I have a son aged 16 yrs. I have had a good sex life but now due to my problem I could not have sex. Plz advise & prescribe me some medicines.

Dr. Shyam Gupta

Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Hello PATIENT is no direct links between filariasis and sexual problems. Erectile problems can be happen to people at any age having issue like stress, fatigue, disturb relationship, anxiety, alcohol, smoking and medical problems like High BP, Diabetes, obesity etc. My personal advice is lifestyle changes like exercising, losing weight, stopping smoking,curbing alcohol intake, don't wear tight pants, do pelvic kegal exercise. There are medications but they have side effects so i dont advice first. But i strongly recommend to start healthy life with some antioxidant vitamins and healthy diet. You may take vitamin like DHEA cap, L arginine and herbal ashwagandha capsule. Apply Himcolin gel. Concentrate on Yoga and meditation and also take help from your partner. Use these for couple of months if not improved do few blood tests like thyroid, sugar and testosterone and let me know.
