Vivek, a 30-year-old man from Delhi, was quietly facing significant sexual health challenges. He had a medical history of anxiety disorders, severe depression, and alcoholism, he struggled with anejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and erectile issues, which was affecting his intimate relationship and leaving him and his partner dissatisfied. Moreover, the stress from daily life, work, and family issues further disturb their marital happiness. Seeking a solution was essential for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship. Vivek’s journey with Allo Health brought remarkable improvements, helping him overcome embarrassment, regain confidence, and restore his health. This story illustrates how comprehensive care transformed his life and nurtured wellness.
Vivek had been dealing with sexual health problems for over 5 months. He had been married for 9 months and was living with his wife in his joint family. Four months after his marriage, he started experiencing work harassment and other issues in his office, which led him to quit his job and he started investment banking. Even though he had a high sex drive, he was struggling with delayed ejaculation and couldn’t reach orgasm or visibly ejaculate, although he enjoyed sex. He also faced anxiety, which made it difficult for him to maintain an erection. This issue became more noticeable, making it hard for him to sustain an erection and penetrate. His ejaculation time was 15-20 minutes. However, he could masturbate easily without any problems or ejaculation issues and the thought of masturbation excited him.
Vivek often turned to masturbation for stress relief, which led to a porn addiction. He mentioned that sometimes after sex, his wife would help him ejaculate by masturbating him. He used to get anxious at the thought of intercourse and lost his interest in their sex life. These habits affected his physical health, self-esteem, and his relationship with his wife, causing a lot of emotional and mental stress. Vivek also had other environmental factors for stress such as legal issues with his parents over property, worry about his sister not getting married, and pressure at work. These combined problems led to depression and anxiety.
Although he needed help, Vivek felt too embarrassed to seek professional advice. He had tried to get help before, but it didn’t work. Instead, he tried various herbal remedies he found online, but they didn’t help either. Vivek had been dealing with depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. He told the doctor that he was overwhelmed by stress. Vivek and his wife were very upset because he had trouble ejaculating due to anejaculation, sometimes facing early or premature ejaculation, and had moderate erectile dysfunction. This multiple symptoms led him to seek help from a professional.
One morning, Vivek was searching for product reviews on Google when he found a video from Allo Health talking about sexual issues like his own. This gave him hope and made him think about getting professional help. Even though Vivek had seen doctors before, nothing worked, and he felt ashamed. He visited Allo Health’s website and took an assessment to learn more about his health problems.
At the Allo Health clinic in New Delhi, Vivek met Dr. Ashish Bansal, who played a crucial role in his recovery. Dr. Bansal provided a safe space for Vivek to openly discuss his sexual health issues for the first time. He explained, “Health is holistic; your physical conditions, daily life, work stress, and family problems significantly impact both your mental and sexual health.” Dr. Bansal identified that Vivek’s alcohol issues, depressive mood, and anxiety could be contributing to his delayed ejaculation, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction (ED), and an urge to masturbate. He also emphasized that stress might be exacerbating Vivek’s condition.
Dr. Ashish’s approach was medical expertise with compassion, taking into account how Vivek’s overall health impacted his life. Thinking on his conversation with Dr. Ashish, Vivek recalled the emphasis on the connection between mental and sexual health. Dr. Ashish explained, “Your mind is interconnected, and each part of your health affects the others. Managing all aspects is crucial for your overall well-being.” This holistic perspective led to a personalized treatment plan tailored to Vivek’s complex health needs, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his life filled with positive hopes.
Vivek’s sexual health problems stemmed from several psychological and social factors. Dr. Ashish explained that Vivek’s alcohol use, daily life and work stress, and family issues had significantly impacted his mental health and sexual performance. Additionally, stress, low desire for intercourse, porn addiction, masturbating for stress relief, and performance anxiety were major contributing factors. “These mental and environmental stresses can affect your sexual health,” Dr. Ashish stated during the diagnosis.
Vivek reflected on his initial reluctance to address his issues. “I didn’t realize how interconnected my problems were until I spoke with Dr. Ashish. I thought my sexual health issues were isolated, not linked to my other health or psychological concerns,” he admitted.
After beginning his treatment, Vivek gradually started to feel better. During his next visit, Dr. Ashish emphasized, “It’s very important to stick to your treatment plan and not stop taking your medicine without consulting your doctor. Your health is an ongoing journey, not a quick fix.” This experience underscored for Vivek the importance of following the treatment plan and maintaining regular contact with his doctor.
When Dr. Ashish realized the complexity of Vivek’s health issues, which included delayed ejaculation, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, a compulsion to masturbate, mild porn addiction, and struggles with alcohol, depression, and anxiety, he devised a comprehensive treatment plan. This plan encompassed medication treatment and adjustments in lifestyle changes.
He prescribed medicines that included an Antihistamine which is used to treat allergy symptoms. It can help stop runny nose, watery eyes, and itchy rash. An antidepressant that is used for smoking cessation and to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders. A dietary supplement, enriched with L-Arginine, Tribulus terrestris, Fenugreek Extract, Hypericum perforatum, Mucuna pruriens, Ginkgo biloba, Zinc & Vitamin B6 that helps to support the overall health scenario of an individual. And phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, to treat men who have erectile dysfunction (also called sexual impotence).
He also recommended several lifestyle changes:
Dr. Ashish emphasized the importance of a comprehensive approach to treatment, integrating both medical and lifestyle changes. Through a combination of lifestyle modification and healthy habits, Dr. Ashish assisted Vivek in overcoming his challenges and enhancing his condition. He motivated him by saying, “Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Stay committed to your treatment, and you’ll become stronger and more resilient.”
Vivek’s treatment at Allo Health involved regular check-ups to monitor his progress and adjust his treatment as needed. He chose to buy his medications from Allo Health because they were more affordable and delivered discreetly to his home. To help him remember to take his medications, he received useful reminders.
Allo Health also reminded patients to book their next visits and addressed any issues that might hinder their treatment. After starting his treatment, Vivek returned to the clinic for his first check-up in February 2023. During these visits, Dr. Ashish assessed the effectiveness of the medications and lifestyle changes. “We’re seeing good progress, but we need to keep checking and adjusting your treatment to get the best results,” Dr. Ashish explained during a check-up. Based on Vivek’s condition and feedback, Dr. Ashish adjusted his medication doses as needed. At his third visit in March 2023, Vivek continued to improve, and Dr. Ashish made further adjustments to his medication.
Vivek’s health kept improving with each visit. On his fourth visit in April 2023, Dr. Ashish updated his prescriptions to match his changing health, adding buspirone hydrochloride to relieve anxiety and depression, and folic acid to treat nutritional deficiencies. On his fifth visit in May 2023, Vivek reported sudden palpitations and extreme sweating due to a medication side effect. Dr. Ashish listened carefully and adjusted his prescriptions, changing the doses of previously prescribed medicines.
At his final follow-up in June 2023, Dr. Ashish emphasized the importance of regular visits. “How your body reacts to the treatment can change over time, so these regular visits are really important. They help us keep up and make the right changes to your treatment plan,” he explained. With medication and therapy, Vivek saw significant improvements in his sexual performance. He was able to ejaculate at the right time and maintain erections longer during sex, and his time before ejaculation increased to almost 10 minutes.
These check-ups not only tracked Vivek’s health improvements but also highlighted the importance of consistent treatment and ongoing medical advice. With this flexible approach and the successful completion of his treatment and counseling sessions, Vivek experienced significant benefits in both his sexual health and overall well-being.
Vivek’s journey with Allo Health demonstrates the transformative power of comprehensive and compassionate healthcare. By confronting his concealed issues and adhering to a tailored treatment plan, Vivek experienced significant improvements in both his sexual health and overall well-being. Regular follow-ups ensured the plan remained effective, underscoring the value of personalized care and the importance of patient commitment to treatment.
Dr. Ashish’s guidance and the holistic approach at Allo Health played a crucial role in Vivek’s recovery. Their integrated healthcare strategies effectively addressed complex health challenges, leading to Vivek’s increased confidence and happiness in his personal life.
