dear doctor suggest some herbal supplements for penile nerve damage as der is little pain in penile region and having erection problems at 18?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: I don't think anyone here can help you without more information about the nature &amp; cause of your problem. "Nerve damage" would be pretty unusual in an 18 yo, but if so, it's important to find the cause, such as diabetes or metal toxicity. See a doctor in person for evaluation. An Ayurvedic practitioner can give you individualized advice on how to treat this. Also consider seeing a good homeopath.
