Ayush, a 40-year-old man from Mysuru, had problems with early ejaculation and weaker erections, which affected his closeness with his partner. Their intimate times were short, leaving his partner unhappy. This issue strained their emotional connection, causing both difficulty and dissatisfaction, Ayush was also struggling with his diabetes alongside his stress. It hurt not just their physical closeness but their overall happiness too. Solving this problem was important for a healthier, happier relationship. This story will reveal how Ayush developed his path toward wellness, with comprehensive care that changed his life.

Recognizing the Issue

Ayush had been married for seven years and had two children. For six years, he experienced premature ejaculation, typically lasting about 2-3 minutes but for the last 6 months, his issues became worse, and he also noticed a decrease in his erection strength, although his sexual desire remained high. He had stopped masturbating right after getting married and was initially happy with his sex life. However, the problems started appearing and persisted for almost six years. Over these last six months, his issues have led to unsatisfactory sexual encounters due to his erection problems and quick ejaculations.

Like many in their mid-30s or 40s, Ayush faced premature ejaculation, weaker erections, and performance anxiety. These problems are common at this age and can be caused by everyday stress, societal expectations, and relationship dynamics, affecting even younger adults. His complications were also creating an impact on his self-esteem, and even causing darkness in his marital life, which led to emotional and mental stress.

Ayush had never consulted for his sexual issues before due to embarrassment and unfair beliefs surrounding the society. He had tried various herbal remedies at home that he found on websites like Google and YouTube to fix his issues, but nothing worked. Realizing he needed professional assistance, he decided to seek help from an expert.

It’s important to note that Ayush also had diabetes, which he managed with the medication sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. This drug controls the blood glucose level through the kidney’s filtration. However, his diabetes was under control. The ongoing issues with premature ejaculation and maintaining an erection were frustrating for both Ayush and his partner, prompting him to seek professional help.

Seeking Professional Help

Upon realizing he needed professional assistance, he found out about Allo Health when he was just scrolling through Facebook on a weekend afternoon. He came across some helpful videos there that were just like the situation he was going through, and they caught his attention. He researched more about Allo Health on Google and decided to go for an assessment, after that process he opted for a walk-in appointment and was encouraged to visit Allo Health’s Mysuru, Saraswatipuram clinic where Dr. Nikunj Gokani has been appointed to him. 

During Ayush’s first meeting with Dr. Nikunj in September 2023, the doctor carefully looked into Ayush’s situation. He found out that Ayush was dealing with premature ejaculation and mild erectile dysfunction, along with feeling anxious about his performance in bed.

After the meeting, Ayush thought back on what was discussed. He mentioned, “Dr. Nikunj understood what I was going through. It made me too focused on timing and not enjoying the moment. With kindness and knowledge, Dr. Nikunj comforted Ayush. He said, “Premature ejaculation and erection issues are common problems and can be treated easily.” Hearing this, Ayush left the clinic feeling hopeful that things could get better in his intimate life.

Finding the Main Reason: Diagnosis and Realization

At Allo Health, Ayush worked with Dr. Nikunj to find the root cause of his problems. The doctor found that Ayush’s issues with premature ejaculation were mostly because of his mental stress and the high expectations from his marriage. Diabetes also affected his physical health and sexual function.

Ayush shared his thoughts, saying, “I never knew how much my diabetes and mental health were hurting my sexual health. Dr. Nikunj showed me how my body, mind, and sexual performance are all connected.”

Dr. Nikunj discovered that two main factors were affecting Ayush’s health: his psychological stress and diabetes. Furthermore, stress is considered a vital contributing factor, and his medications for diabetes could have affected his sexual function. Recognizing the connection between his stress, diabetes, and sexual health was crucial for Dr. Nikunj to create an effective treatment plan. Understanding these factors marked a crucial step for Ayush towards recovery and improving his overall well-being.

There might be a question about whether Ayush’s habits of masturbation played a part in his premature ejaculation. It’s important to note that while too much or compulsive masturbation can sometimes lead to sexual problems, it’s not always the case. Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality. It’s crucial to understand that Ayush’s premature ejaculation was likely caused by a mix of factors, like psychological and biological reasons, and not just his habits of masturbation.

Path to treatment

Ayush started his journey to tackle premature ejaculation (PE) with a mix of medicines that include nutritional supplements, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for treating anxiety or mental health disorders, Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors that help to manage blood flow in the reproductive organ, dietary modifications, and adopting a healthy lifestyle. These pills were meant to work together with the sprays and gels to help him control his timing during intimate moments. The combination of these treatments aimed to provide a comprehensive approach to managing his condition, potentially enhancing their effectiveness in addressing issues like premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction.

 

The doctor made sure Ayush knew that these pills had very few side effects and were not addictive. This was to ease any worries Ayush might have had about taking medicine. Also, Ayush was told that once he got better, he could gradually stop taking the pills under the doctor’s advice, until he had to show up on his regular follow-ups and to have to be precise with his medicines.

Ayush’s treatment plan encompassed several aspects aimed at addressing his premature ejaculation:

Balanced Diet and Exercise: Ayush was advised to follow a balanced diet rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and proteins along with nutritional supplements. A balanced diet supports overall health, including sexual function.

Regular exercise: Exercise such as cardiovascular workouts and strength training, helps improve blood flow, stamina, and overall fitness, which can have a positive impact on sexual health.

Kegel Exercises: Ayush learned about Kegel exercises, which involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are beneficial for strengthening the pelvic floor and improving control over ejaculation.

Start-Stop Technique: The start-stop technique involves pausing sexual stimulation before reaching the point of ejaculation, and then resuming stimulation after the urge to ejaculate subsides. This technique helps individuals become more aware of their arousal levels and learn to delay ejaculation.

Lifestyle Changes: Lifestyle modifications are crucial for managing premature ejaculation. These changes may include reducing stress levels through relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol, which can negatively impact sexual function.

By integrating these components—diet, exercise, specific exercises like Kegels and the start-stop technique, medication, and lifestyle adjustments—Ayush’s treatment plan took a comprehensive approach to address his premature ejaculation. This holistic approach aimed not only at immediate symptom management but also at long-term improvement in his intimate experiences and overall sexual wellness.

Ayush’s story shows that premature ejaculation, erection problems, and performance anxiety can be treated. With the right mix of medicine, and lifestyle changes, you can see big improvements. It’s important to get help from professionals like Ayush did because it improves your chances of getting better. But remember, everyone responds differently to treatment, so results may vary.

The Journey to Recovery

Ayush decided to get his medicines directly from Allo Health because it was cheaper than buying them elsewhere. Plus, he liked that the medicines were delivered discreetly to his home. To make sure he didn’t forget to take them, he got helpful reminders. These reminders play a crucial role in helping individuals stay consistent with their medication schedule, especially for long-term treatments or medications with specific timing requirements.

Allo Health also reminds patients to schedule their next appointment and helps solve any issues that might prevent them from receiving the needed treatment. Since he started with Allo Health in September 2023, seven months have gone by. Ayush had been a very obedient patient and not only finished his medication but also followed all the advice given to him. He kept going for his follow-up sessions as suggested by Dr. Nikunj. His concern about ejaculating too quickly, which was around 2-3 minutes at the start, has improved a lot. Now, he can last almost 15 minutes. In between this Allo Health kept sending messages to ensure how his treatment was going on and whether things were going fine.

Before each doctor’s visit, patients filled out a form to update their progress. This helped the doctor decide the next steps. In September 2023, Ayush had his first appointment with Dr. Nikunj who diagnosed him with premature ejaculation and prescribed medication and lifestyle changes. By his first follow-up in November 2023, Ayush could control his ejaculation better, lasting 4-5 minutes. Dr. Nikunj then adjusted his medication dosage. By the second follow-up in December 2023, Ayush’s condition had improved further, with his ejaculation lasting 10-15 minutes, and his medication was adjusted again.

During the third and fourth follow-ups in January and February 2024, Ayush kept improving by following the doctor’s advice, including lifestyle and diet changes. His condition remained stable with consistent improvements. By the final follow-up in March 2024, Ayush had made a full recovery. He had much better control over his ejaculation and his overall sexual health had greatly improved. Ayush followed his treatment plan carefully and completed it successfully.

Ayush’s story shows how important it is to get help for sexual health problems. He got better by getting medical treatment and advice on changing his lifestyle. This helped him with both the physical and mental parts of his issues.

If you’re going through similar problems, know that asking for help is a brave and important thing to do. Ayush’s experience proves that sexual health issues are common and can be fixed. Getting help can make a big difference in your life.

So, don’t be afraid to talk to experts who can give you advice tailored to your needs. Your health is important, and taking action to fix these issues can improve your relationships and overall happiness.
