Tell us your story, in your own words, about your usage and side effects experienced while on/off the drug.
My flaccid penis used to be firm and full. Now it feels like jelly and it is extremely small. I can bend it and squeeze it with no resistance. Erections are very soft, and the penis is lighter, like it is empty inside. I have lost size and girth when i have erections. Harder to get and maintain erections. I would say my erections are about 50%. Before this i was rock hard instantly. Basically my penis feels dead and lifeless.
I started having some erection problems last summer when on holiday in another country. I bought 20mg cialis without prescription abroad and used it 2-3 times. After this i had some erection issues but it got fine. In december last year i got a gift from a friend. It was some natural vietnamese medicine which would prevent hair loss. He told me to eat handfull of these pills daily. I did. After 3 weeks i started having these issues, and have had them since. Only once did i feel like my penis was coming back to life again and it was when i had sex. After that my penis felt “full and normal” for a few days. Stopped having sex and these issues came back. I have been to doctor, urologist etc and no one can help. Any advice? See pictures of the vietnamese medicine: https://imgur.com/a/QhaJZbR
