I'm a 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.

Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.
