In Bangalore city, lives Akshay (name changed) and his wife, a couple navigating through the complexities of married life. At 30 years old, Akshay found himself entangled in a challenge that is rarely spoken about openly but is more common than most believe- erection issues. Despite being married for three years, their relationship faced a hurdle that neither anticipated—struggles with intimacy that kept them emotionally distant and filled their lives with silent frustrations. They finally decided to get out of this situation and took some brave steps to go see a doctor at Allo Health. Let’s see how they were able to navigate through this journey for a positive result.
Akshay and his wife had been married for three years, but they hadn’t been able to share that special connection yet. The first year and a half was spent living in a joint family, where they didn’t have much privacy. It was also the first time for both of them, and they didn’t really know what to do.
Hoping for a fresh start, they moved to Bangalore, thinking it might improve their intimacy struggles. Unfortunately, things didn’t get better. Despite their efforts to be close, trying for sex became a difficult and frustrating task. They aimed for at least once a month, but their attempts were in vain.
Akshay encountered a persistent challenge – keeping an erection during intimacy. Interestingly, when he was alone, he had no trouble getting an erection while masturbating, and sometimes, even spontaneous erections occurred. However, when it came to being intimate with his wife, sustaining an erection proved to be difficult.
On the other side, Akshay’s wife struggled with intense fear and pain during penetration. The process was not only emotionally distressing but physically uncomfortable, as she found it difficult to become adequately wet. The couple’s pursuit of intimacy became a challenging journey marked by frustration, fear, and unfulfilled attempts.
In an attempt to fix things, they searched online using Google and YouTube, but it soon became clear that they needed professional help. This is the start of their journey, where they realized that tackling the challenges in their intimacy required the guidance of experts who could help them understand and overcome these initial hurdles.
As Akshay and his wife confronted the realization that they needed professional help, the first action he took was a simple yet pivotal one. Typing “Sexologist in Bangalore” into Google, the top result that caught his eye was Allo Health. Curious and hopeful, he navigated to the clinic’s website, where he found reassuring reviews that sparked a sense of confidence.
In October 2023, Akshay decided to take the plunge and booked an appointment at the Allo Health Clinic in Indiranagar. As he entered the clinic, his initial nervousness gave way to a surprising sense of ease. Meeting with Dr. Warisha, the experience unfolded smoothly, exceeding Akshay’s expectations.
The clinic environment, coupled with Dr. Warisha’s guidance, made the journey surprisingly easy and discreet. Akshay found solace in the professional and understanding approach, contributing to his sense of comfort.
Reflecting on the appointment, Akshay shared, “I was amazed at how smoothly the process unfolded. The team at Allo Health Clinic made me feel at ease, and Dr. Warisha’s expertise played a significant role in making the experience positive.”

He shared, “The appointment went very well, and I was amazed at how easy and discreet this process was.” This sentiment encapsulates the positive experience Akshay encountered as he embarked on seeking professional support with Allo Health, marking the beginning of a journey towards understanding, healing, and rediscovering intimacy.
Going deeper into Akshay’s diagnosis, it was identified that he was grappling with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) tied to performance anxiety. While his wife didn’t attend the appointment, there was a suggestion that she might be experiencing vaginismus, a condition where there’s an involuntary tightness of the vaginal muscles during attempts at penetration.
The diagnostic journey uncovered that Akshay had undergone blood tests, revealing normal blood sugar and testosterone levels but elevated cholesterol. This high cholesterol level was identified as a potential contributing factor to his ED. However, a crucial element in their struggles emerged – the couple felt pressured and were not enjoying the intimacy process.
Akshay’s difficulty with erections stemmed from the stress and pressure to perform, creating a cycle that added to the challenges. Simultaneously, his wife faced penetration issues, echoing the impact of the shared pressure. In essence, the root cause extended beyond the physical factors, delving into the emotional toll that performance pressure took on both partners.
This comprehensive understanding of the diagnosis and contributing factors paved the way for a holistic treatment plan, addressing not just the physical aspects but also the psychological elements that were intricately woven into their intimacy challenges.
Upon diagnosing Akshay’s condition, a comprehensive treatment plan unfolded, integrating both medication and therapy to address the multifaceted aspects of Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
The treatment approach involved specific medicines, commonly PDE5 inhibitors, strategically tailored to target the physical challenges associated with ED. These medications work by enhancing blood flow to the genital area, promoting the ability to achieve and sustain an erection during sexual stimulation.
Together with medication, lifestyle changes were recommended to optimize the overall treatment plan. Additionally, recognizing the importance of a holistic approach, an invitation extended to Akshay’s wife welcomed her to actively participate in the therapeutic journey. This collaborative effort aimed to not only address the physical aspects of ED but also explore and enhance the psychological and relational dimensions, fostering a comprehensive and personalized path to healing.
Dr. Warisha, reflecting on the treatment approach, mentioned, “Our goal is not just to address the physical symptoms but to provide a supportive environment for holistic healing.”
Akshay opted to buy medicines directly via Allo Health as we give a 20% extra discount on the market rate. To alleviate privacy concerns it is always ensured to have discreet packaging for any shipped medications.
Akshay expressed his satisfaction, stating, “The process was super convenient, and the discounts made it more affordable. It’s like they understood our concerns and made the whole journey smoother.”
Upon receiving his prescription, Akshay wasted no time in starting the prescribed medications. Within just five days, he engaged in his first counselling session with Kanusha YK, a psychologist at Allo Health, opting for the convenience of online sessions. This marked the beginning of a comprehensive approach to healing.
During the 1st counselling session, Akshay was educated about the intricacies of his condition. He was introduced to finger insertion techniques, a step-by-step process aimed at easing anxiety and discomfort. Additionally, he learned breathing techniques to further alleviate stress and create a more relaxed environment. He was asked to continue with the medications for the next two weeks and was asked to join therapy sessions once a week for the next 4 weeks.
After two weeks of diligently following the prescribed plan, Akshay and his wife experienced noticeable improvements. Recognizing the importance of enjoying foreplay before attempting intercourse, they discovered a newfound connection. The introduction of vaginal trainers further enhanced their progress, providing a gradual and comfortable path towards physical intimacy.
Four weeks into the treatment, Akshay reported positive developments. He expressed having good erections since the first week, with only a slight headache initially that eventually subsided. Daily foreplay became a routine, and they successfully reached a level of comfort with three-finger insertion. Although there was still progress to be made, the couple found joy and satisfaction in their achievements.
After 4 weeks of starting the treatment the medicines prescribed to Akshay were tapered down as Akshay was showing great improvements and therapy sessions were only conducted for 4 weeks. Akshay was told that he could come back anytime for sessions if that was required.
Many people, like Akshay, often face the same issue he did. Allo encounters similar cases about three times every week. When we say it’s common, we mean you’re not alone—many people share this problem, and it’s highly treatable. Take Akshay and his wife as an example. For the problem they struggled with over 150 weeks, they saw significant improvement in 6 weeks and eliminated the problem in 12 weeks.
Akshay’s story also tells us that just taking medicine or using over-the-counter remedies might not fix the real problem. These quick solutions often don’t last and can sometimes make things worse. In cases like Akshay’s, where intimate health is involved, it’s crucial to have a careful and personalized approach to truly understand and fix the root cause of the issue. Akshay’s journey shows us that a more detailed and tailored plan, combining medication and therapy, is needed for lasting and positive results.
