This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,

your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best

selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll

do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how

it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

started, and be sure to visit my website at

sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and

resources from the show. See you on the inside.

Hello there, Modern Man. Have you ever had an erection but

lost it halfway through? You're not alone. Millions of men

struggle to stay hard. It is one of the most common sexual health

concern I see in my practice. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I treated

over 7000 men with ED. I'm a sexual medicine specialist.

So let me tell you, this does not mean you're broken, weak or

even past your prime? It usually means something in your body or

in your mind or what you do with your life is interfering with

blood flow or performance. And the good news, most of the time,

it can be fixed. In this video, I'll explain the top reason men

can't stay hard after getting an erection, either from stress or

hormone or circulation or even bad habits, and I'll give you

practical evidence based steps that you can start today to

improve your erection. So if you ever wonder, why can I stay

hard? Stay tuned. By the end of this video, you'll understand

exactly what's happening in your body and what you can do about

it.

So why does erection fade? Well, there are five big causes that

most men don't realize. Number one, blood flow problem. That

being that the arteries, or the blood vessel that come from your

heart that goes down to your manhood is narrow. It's not big

enough for the blood to flow through to the penis. So it's

either from poor circulation, from high blood pressure, high

cholesterol or diabetes.

Number two, hormonal imbalances. It could be you have low

testosterone or even thyroid, either low or high thyroid or

hyper thyroidism, which is important because the penis

needs testosterone in order for it to get rigid or firm.

Number three, it could even be stress, because performance

anxiety or stress. When you're stressed, the blood doesn't flow

down to your penis. It flows elsewhere. The quick thing to

know that sometimes your stress can really take away that that

erection.

Number four is your lifestyle. Smoking is not good. Too much

alcohol is not good. Lack of sleep and poor diet. When I say

poor diet, I mean junk food diet, fast food diet. These can

be fixable.

Number five is porn and also setting unrealistic expectation.

Not all men need to be eight inches or nine inches. Not all

men have to be rock hard all the time. Do you know that the

average penis size is actually only five and a half inches

erect, and four and three quarter in circumference? So

that's average, but 87% of men think that they're smaller than

they are. So I get it. Sometimes you think that bigger is better,

but not necessarily. Functional is better.

So if you ever wonder why erection don't last, chances are

is one of the mix of these causes that I just talked about.

So let's talk about what you can do about this. Number one,

you'll want to improve your circulation, like I talk about.

How to improve your circulation? Follow Mediterranean diet. Check

the link right here where I give you the Mediterranean diet that

you can follow. Number two exercise. Now I'm not talking

about running a marathon or doing triathlon. I'm talking

about moving, walking up and down the stairs, and just doing

house chores, about 30 minutes, three to four times a week.

That's it. The time that you're sitting on your phone, scrolling

through social media, you could be walking, you could be going

up and down the stairs and doing just chores around the house.

And then enough hydration. You should be drinking enough water

in ounces, two thirds of your weight. Let's say 200 pounds.

You should be drinking a two thirds of your weight in ounces,

or about like 140 ounces. Number two, how to improve your

hormones. I talked about low testosterone, but now you can

get blood tests for testosterone. Make sure you get

total testosterone and free testosterone, and also the blood

work called SHBG, sex hormone binding globulin, on the lab,

then you can truly know what your testosterone level is. You

should get your thyroid check whether you have low thyroid or

high thyroid. Thyroid test can be measured by a test called

thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH. And you should get your

prolactin level checked. High prolactin level is not good. It

will throw off your testosterone level. Number three is stress

management. Mindset, I talked about many times about

breathing, doing box breathing for five minutes can really

decrease your heart rate for 24 hours. And mindset thinking

about the positive. Don't think about the outcome. Think about

the intimacy, thinking about pleasing your partner, and don't

get stressed out about it. The more you get stressed out about

it, and the more you think about why you need to have a rigid

heart erection, you won't. So it's almost like the opposite.

Okay? So that is the best advice I can give you. So check out

this video that I have on breathing, on how it can really

help with your stress management. Number four

lifestyle tweak. So moderate alcohol, no more than 14 drinks

a week. If you're smoking, stop smoking, because smoking is a

sure way to stop your erection. And then also optimize your

sleep. Sleep at least seven hours at nighttime, or if you're

night shift worker, then sleep during the daytime. And then

number four, get medical help when you have ED that actually

bothers you. And if you're having a problem staying hard on

a consistent basis that bothers you, go get blood work and

review with your doctor, so that way your doctor can review the

medication with you and other available treatment.

So listen, you don't need a miracle pill. You just need to

know that you have ED and what are the options you can do now.

The earlier you start, the better you're going to be in the

long run. Think of it like an infected wound. If you have an

infection in your wound, the earlier you treat it, it's going

to go away. It's the same thing with your ED guys. So if you

have ED, the earlier you realize you have ED, you should stop

taking Viagra, Cialis. That's just padding the problem. That's

just band aiding the problem. It's like you have an infected

wound and it's been oozing out pus. You just put a band aid on

there, hoping it will go away. It will not go away if you don't

treat the cause of the problem. And I just identify things that

you can do that doesn't cost you more money than just changing

your diet, your exercise routine, your sleep, and just

adding breathing, and just get your blood work done, guys.

Okay, so I'm giving you the road map on how to start this. Losing

erection doesn't mean the end of your sex life. There are

options. I've helped over 7000 men restore function by

addressing the root cause and then treating with stem cells,

and also technology that restore blood flow and boosting the

penis function again. Now, with the right approach, you can

improve function within weeks to month.
