Hello Doctor,
I'm a 36-year-old male and lately I've been noticing that I’m not getting or keeping an erection like I used to. It’s been going on for a few months now and it’s starting to affect my confidence and relationship. I’m wondering if I might have erectile dysfunction. There’s no pain or anything, but things just aren’t working the way they used to. Can this be temporary, or should I be concerned? What should I do next?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
1. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is very common and can happen due to physical or emotional reasons such as stress, low testosterone, poor blood flow, or even side effects from medications. It’s good that there’s no pain, but since this has been going on for a few months, it’s a good idea to get it checked.
2. Sometimes ED is temporary and linked to stress or fatigue, but if it’s persistent, a doctor can help identify the cause and offer treatment options. This might include lifestyle changes, medication, or counseling depending on the root cause.
Thanks
