Unable to maintain erection

Resolved question:

Hi Doctor,

I am 23 years old and have been suffering from maintaining erection during sex. There seems to be no problem when I have oral sex, but cannot maintain it during intercourse. I am a chain smoker and occasional intake alcohol. Can you tell me what can be the problem?

Thanks for the question. The major cause for erection problem is due to smoking and intake of alcohol, the reduction in these can help you in many ways. It would be better if you try to change your lifestyle and a healthy diet would help in your performance. Other measures like yoga and meditation would also help.
