What causes lowering of sustainability during erection?
Patient: Dear doctor, The last 3 times during intercourse with my wife I was not able to sustain the erection. I have a very low sperm count (~1 mn/ml) but never before faced the issue of not sustaining the erection. in order to boost sperm count i did take Co Q and another prescription medicine for ~2 months. And all these 3 instances have happened post taking the medicine only. Otherwise, during masturbation I do not face any problem. Any guidance will be a great help. Thanks Doctor: Thanks for contacting HCM.I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with maintaining erections and having low sperm counts. It is possible that if you masturbate too much that your sperm counts can decrease and you overall desire for your wife may decline. I recommend to help increase sperm counts and improve your erections that you decrease masturbating. If this does not help then I recommend you seek a medical attention fro possible low testosterone levels. Hope this answers your question.
