Experiencing difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection? This could indicate erectile dysfunction (ED).
Consistent inability to get an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse is a key sign. Notice the frequency: is it happening occasionally, or most of the time?
Reduced libido, or a decreased interest in sex, frequently accompanies ED. Consider if your desire for intimacy has changed.
Erections may feel less strong than usual, even if you can achieve them. Pay attention to the firmness and duration of your erections.
Problems with ejaculation, such as delayed or absent ejaculation, can also be present. Note any changes in your ejaculatory function.
Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, or depression can influence ED. Reflect on your current mental health.
Underlying health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure often contribute. If you have any of these, consult your doctor.
Certain medications can cause ED as a side effect. Review your current prescriptions with your physician.
If you’re experiencing several of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and discussion of treatment options.
