I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Intermittent erection difficulties can be quite common and arise from various factors, especially as you age. Given you’re maintaining regular gym sessions and a good diet, this is a great start. However, focusing on a few areas may help improve these symptoms. First, evaluate stress levels and ensure you’re managing any anxiety, as psychological factors often contribute to erectile issues. Techniques such as mindfulness, or even talking things through with a counselor, can sometimes make a difference. Ensuring adequate sleep is crucial too, as rest can significantly impact libido and overall hormone levels. Lifestyle modifications aside, visiting a healthcare provider is important to dig deeper into possible physiological causes. Hormone imbalances, particularly low testosterone, can lead to diminished libido and erectile difficulties. Blood tests could be conducted to assess testosterone levels and other relevant markers. Cardiovascular health is another consideration—conditions like hypertension or atherosclerosis can impact blood flow, contributing to erection problems, so a thorough cardiovascular evaluation might be advised. Limiting alcohol and avoiding smoking contribute positively to sexual health, so ensure these aren’t impacting your case. Medications are an option as well, and your doctor might discuss the use of phosphodiesterase inhibitors if deemed appropriate, but these should always be considered after evaluation. Rule out medication side effects or health issues potentially affecting these symptoms. Engage with a healthcare provider promptly and comprehensively to tailor a management strategy to your particular situation. Any persistent issue should always be professionally assessed to preclude underlying health conditions that need immediate attention.
