Avatar n tn I did that search and found this from the May Clinic - ______________________________________________________________ Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to maintain a firm erection long enough to have sex. Although erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, this common problem can occur at any age. Having trouble maintaining an erection from time to time isn't necessarily a cause for concern.
Avatar f tn Erectile dysfunction is not as uncommon as people think in young men with 26 % of men under the age of 4o reporting it. We encourage you to speak to your doctor about it. While masturbation can possibly impact this, there are other underlying causes you would need to rule out. So, being able to talk to your doctor is important. With the high number of males who have the issue, they will not be terribly surprised and will hopefully have suggestions for you.
Avatar f tn It is probably safe for you to take Cialis. However, your erectile dysfunction is more likely related to performance anxiety since this is the commonest cause of ED in young men. Cialis may give you back your confidence.
Avatar m tn In February I began to notice I was having erectile dysfunction fairly regularly. Erections were fewer, sometimes would not happen at all, sometimes they would be semi-erect, and sometimes fine. They seemed to last less long as well. I went on a run in early April and came home thinking I was having a heart attack. I had a blood test 2 urinalyses, 2 ekgs, and a stress test ekg, all of which were fine. I was told I was having panic attacks and anxiety.
Avatar n tn I had my 3rd heart attack in 2007 followed by a triple heart by pass. For at least 3 years I have been taking a 25mg Losartan potassium tablet and a 40mg Furosemide tablet every morning. I went to a new chemist this morning and he said I should never take the 2 tablets together as they will cause low blood pressure. I went to the doctors last year for a check up and complained of low blood pressure ( I took a list of my last 20 readings) but was told it is nothing to worry about!.

Avatar n tn Low T or what is called Low Testosterone levels. However, this is normally seen in males who are much older in life usually around mid-40 on. There have been a few cases of men who are younger whose testosterone levels are low but that is a very rare thing.Don't quote me on that, though. Only thing I can tell you to do is to have your husband tested for the possibility of Low T and see if that may be the problem.
Avatar m tn Hormonal Therapy Lower concentration of the testosterone is found in majority of men suffering from the erectile dysfunction. But erectile dysfunction can not be treated by increasing the level of testosterone. So, levels of testosterone are increased in combination with some other treatment of erectile dysfunction to show the good results.
Avatar n tn Erectile dysfunction at your age would be extremely rare and like your doctor said, it tends to be psychological. Your mind has a lot of power over what happens to your body physically. If you feel nervous at all, upset, stressed out, etc all of this can affect erections and cause you to lose it. There really isn't a quick fix, but it'd be good to try to think about what else may be going on in your life.
