Marital health issue

Hello doctor,

I am a 43 year old male with a normal health. Until recently I had a normal marital life. In last couple of years I had few instances of erectile dysfunction but it corrected on its own. Lately I have been facing this issue consistently and this is causing lot of mental stress. I started to take damiagra drops ifor two days and then came across this forum. I can see that you've advised quite a few persons for similar problem and look forward to advice from you. Please advice if my problem can be cured and if I will be able to attain normal erections. Hoping to get an early response.

If your remedy is in the form of pills:

Thanks fitness,

I'll get this medicine tomorrow and take the first dose tomorrow night. Just to clarify, the second dose to be taken next morning will be taken empty stomach or after eating something.

How should I observe Worsening of symptoms? Do I need to test myself for arousal?

Regarding my bike, it's a mountain bike. Saddle discomfort is a very usual complaint by bikers. I'll discontinue riding for sometime to see if that helps.
 
Rocky rocky last decade
You are welcome.

2nd dose can be taken anyways you like, before or after. Ensure a break of at least 10 min before or after meal and the remedy.

Don't expect overnight results, its not magic.

The arousal will not require testing, it will be evident by itself in due course!
