I'm married and have been trying for a month to have intercourse with my wife, but I'm having issues because I can't maintain an erection. It's affecting our intimacy, and I'm worried because I can't satisfy her fully. It's bending and not working as it should. What could be the cause of this? What can I do to resolve it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend you try using Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg to 100mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This medication can help improve blood flow to the penis and support a stronger erection. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm a bit worried about my recent urine test results. It says there are 50 leukocytes in my urine. Does this indicate a mild, medium, or high infection? And should I be concerned about whether the infection is mild or severe? Got a test report too, if that helps. Would appreciate any advice.
