Hello Doctor,
I’m feeling really lost and afraid when it comes to sex. In the past, I struggled with psychological erectile dysfunction, and now I keep having unnecessary, anxious thoughts. For example, when I go out or am in certain situations, I worry that the same problem will happen again. These thoughts make me feel stuck and scared, and I don’t know how to move past them. What can I do to feel more confident and overcome this fear?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
1. Erectile dysfunction can have many causes, but psychological factors like stress and anxiety are very common. It’s normal to feel worried after experiencing psychological ED in the past. These thoughts can create a cycle that makes the problem feel worse.
2. The good news is psychological ED is treatable. Talking with a therapist, managing stress, and making healthy lifestyle changes can help break this cycle. Open communication with your partner is also important. If needed, medical treatments can support your recovery. I recommend scheduling an online consultation so we can discuss your situation in detail and provide the best personalized advice.
Thanks
