Sexual concerns in young men – PDE5’s are not the answer!

LEO ( libido, erection, orgasm ) is what men crave for. For most men, it happens automatically. For others it is a Himalayan task if you are on this side of the world. have a deep concern. A 24 year old walks into my clinic and says he is not happy with his erections . “A little premature with the ejaculation doc“! “My penis appears to have shrunken in the last 6 months”. He is in a state of acute depression . Now that’s not even half my concern . I see a prescription that he has and my heart does a somersault. He is put on 100 tablets of Viagra or an equivalent!

No matter how much I try, I am unable to fathom this .

Sexual concerns in young men – PDE5’s are not the answer!

Finally, I would put these men on micronutrients and antioxidants which go a long way in maintaining general well being without the potential side effects of other pills.
