Sir Ian Botham has successfully overcome his impotency issues, according to an Egyptian doctor, Dr Sherif El Wakil, who recently treated him.

Speaking exclusively over his mobile from London, he said, “The clinical studies are very good and I have seen great results so far in my clinic”.

The 60-year-old former English cricketer Botham admitted he had four sessions of shockwave therapy to prevent erectile dysfunction in the future.

Interestingly, Botham is not the first international cricketer being treated for impotency, but few cricketers from Asian region too were treated by him.

“In my Sexual Aesthetic Centre, I am used to welcome so many high-profile international patients whether from the Cricket society, the sports industry or show business from Asia and from all over the world and I am sure you would respect my decision not to disclose any identity or insinuations that might occur out of patients confidentiality and respect”.

“It was a great pleasure meeting Sir Ian Botham in person after watching him play cricket for so many years. He is even a more wonderful person when you meet him as well, I am an incredibly big fan of cricket and I feel such an immense buzz watching it! not only the games are usually so intense and enjoyable but the fact that you see one peaceful game bringing together all these millions of heart around it, what a wonderful tool to promote love and peace. Having said that, you can imagine my happiness when I saw a legend like Sir Ian Botham in my clinic”.

“Other players actually should not shy away from these types of problems because if it is left it gets worse. Unfulfilling sexual relationship could lead to unhappy life in general, frustration, broken families, weak performance at work or in life and negative impact on relationships”.
