erection issue. please help.

Question
hello dr.

i am a 20 year old male. 4 months ago i noticed my erection weakening but it was still at full size. it was lacking in firmness. i also had been smoking mariujana at the time (i smoked for one year quit 3 months ago). 2 months ago i got sick and my erection dissappeard for a week then came back strong. since then its been weak and now its goten to the point where i cannot achieve an erection and i get very weak morning ones occasionally (35%).



western medicine can do nothing for me. i think my condition is due to the year i smoked marijuana or from sexual exhaustion. i got into the habit of daily masturbation several times a day.



i apologize for the nature of my question but i made several bad decisions that i want to fix and never face again. im only 20 years old and i want to raise a family one day.



i was wondering is there anything in your knowledge that might help me? any homeopathic solutions? please i am scared and just want to be a normal person again.



thank you.


Answer
Hello Gurjas,

Thanks for your question.  There are some natural options that would probably help, but first you would want to make sure there is no underlying condition.  Smoking marijuana does affect the levels of hormones & decrease libido, sexual exhaustion might as well, and more likely than not it's due to these or other fixable issues.  But there are other possibilities that you should get checked out first before starting any treatment, natural or not.   In the meantime, the best thing to do is eliminate the smoking, and decrease your stress level (much erectile dysfunction is due to this).  Get adequate sleep & exercise, avoid stimulants & alcohol, and eat a diet of unprocessed fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, proteins and fats, and that will be a good start.  Once you have a better idea about that you use remedies like homeopathics, herbs, supplements, etc, to help restore & rebuild function.

In health,

Dr Conner
