Abstract

 

Mr. S.N., a 36-year-old married male approached Nirvasa with complaints of complete absence of early morning or spontaneous erections. After enrolment in Nirvasa’s care plan, his parameters showed significant improvement in SHIM scores and erectile function which was 10 at the start of the program and by the end of the program duration, increased to 15. His BMI also stood at 34 indicating obesity before the start of the program; which reduced to 31, at the end of three months.

Patient Condition Before Treatment

Mr. S.N. contacted Nirvasa’s care team with issues regarding moderate to severe erectile dysfunction, which was worsening over the past two years, and severely impacting his life and relationship. He has a history of being obese, recreational drug use, alcoholism, and a sedentary lifestyle. His blood pressure was constantly abnormal (161/108mmHg), and he had a reported BMI of 34 (obese). On comprehensive assessment; his SHIM score was found to be 9.

Treatment Journey

Nirvasa’s care team, comprising doctors, health coaches, nutritionists and sex therapists, guided him with a rounded treatment approach to address his condition. He was prescribed Ayurvedic and nutraceutical supplements to help manage his ED-related problems after consulting with his assigned physician. The individualized diet chart created for his condition guided him toward better lifestyle choices and eating habits to enhance erectile function after he had another consultation with the nutritionist. Changes in lifestyle that were recommended included cutting back on recreational drug use and alcohol use steadily as well as getting regular exercise, such as going for walks every day. Additionally, he was advised to follow an exercise program created by Nirvasa health coaches which included pelvic floor exercises. During the program, if Mr. SN encountered obstacles or struggled to adhere to the recommended routines, psychotherapy sessions were arranged to support his mental well-being and emotional stability. 

Outcome

Mr. S.N. demonstrated significant improvements in both his physical health and erectile function after three months of adhering to the treatment plan. His BMI decreased to 31, indicating successful weight loss and progress toward a healthier lifestyle. Additionally, his SHIM score improved to 14, reflecting a reduction in the severity of his erectile dysfunction symptoms. Furthermore, Mr. S.N. also reported a marked improvement in lifestyle habits like significant reduction in alcohol uptake, weaning off of recreational drug use, healthier dietary habits as well as following an exercise regimen, which has helped him in achieving his health goals.
