I feel that this guy, after ruling out any organic or metabolic malady, needs counselling and anti anxiety medication. A combination of Escitalopram 10 mg and 0.5mg Clonazepam at bedtime for 3-4 months along with nutrional supplements will suffice for the time being. Needs REPEATED counselling by an expert and follow up by an experienced Psychitrist.

This the most common presentation of young men who have multiple artners and that too in the early phases of such liberal activity.
However before labelling the patient, it is wise to exclude organic problems
In view of the possibility of HIV, You need to rule it out also.The investigations ordered by you are not enough. He also needs a semen culture/expressed prostatic secretion culture and sensitivity aa well.
The treatment has to strictly according to the sensitivity report.
If there is infection in the EPS he may need cyclical antibiotics for an extended period of time. He should also use a condom in this period His partner also should be evaluated for 1. Urinary and 2. STDs and treated accordingly.

Premature ejaculation is best treated with Dapoxetine 30mg tablets 2 hrs before intercourse once daily. Psychotherapy and open discussion regarding the issue with the partner is very essential. And regarding semen following micturition try using Dutaseride (urodart) once daily. This will stop the prostatorrhea.
i need to know his urine reports and VDRL reports. Also let me know if he is an alcoholic and i would also request for his Tuberculosis test profile

Well said. After a thorough workup dose not uncover any aetiology of course.The fluoxetine and its derivatives like duloxetine and the newer dupoxetine are waste of time and money.

Young Male's erectile dysfunction defined as “the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse with or without premature ejaculation problem”—is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions also seen in young or adolescence men besides organic or metabolic cause. Although erectile dysfunction can be primarily psychogenic in origin, most patients have an organic disorder, commonly with some psychogenic overlay.Some men assume that erectile failure is a natural part of the aging process and tolerate it; for others it is devastating. Withdrawal from sexual intimacy because of fear of failure can damage relationships and have a profound effect on overall wellbeing for the couple. Since in this case erectile dysfunction did not accompanied chronic illnesses, such as diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hypertension, and or a variety of neurological diseases, the most probable diagnosis may be psychogenic however hormonal levels particularly testosterone level to be measured along with psychological counselling and anxiolytic medicine.

In 1980 American urological association made a statement "90% of sexual /erection problems are due to pscychiatric causes"
In 1990 aua 's position was "90% of the sexual problems/edf are due to organic causes and only 10% psychiatric causes"
In 2000 aua position was " unless proved otherwise all sexual / edf problems are due to organic causes only".
The only person who has the expertise, the investigative tools and the treatment capability - medical or surgical- is a urologist.
When found necessary, the urologist will refer the patient to psychiatrist.
As an axiom- no surgeon would like to hang on to a patient, who does not have a surgically correctable problem - including a urologist . And the urologist rarely tries to treat
a nonurological problem himself.
As a urologist who established and ran a multi-speciality tertiary care andrology center for nearly 10 years, the input of psychiatrist, endocrinologist and a physician was always taken before the treatment plan was decided at our center.!
