The symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) are:
Not being able to get an erection, even when you are exposed to sexual situations or material such as a sexy scene in a film, which would normally give you an erection; and/or
- If you do get an erection, it does not last, or is not hard enough for you to complete sexual intercourse or perform another regular sexual activity.
Occasional erection difficulties are not symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction also known as Male Impotence. It is only a problem if it keeps happening, if it interferes significantly with your sex life and relationships over a period of time, or if it is causing you to feel unhappy or depressed.
Almost all men, at some time in their lives, have
occasional difficulty getting and keeping a normal erection. However you may have Erectile Dysfunction(ED) also known as Male Impotence if:
- More then occasional difficulty getting or keeping an erection.
- The erection is not as hard as they used to be before.
- If you cannot have any erection at all.
- You lose erection very early.
It is important to treat the matter sensitively, because in many cases Erectile Dysfunction(ED) is caused by a psychological problem, which may get worse if you get angry or argue about it.
What to do if you think your partner is having Erectile Dysfunction?
Erection problems may improve or even disappear if you don't make a big issue out of having sex and find other ways to be intimate, which can take the pressure off him to perform. If your partner won't discuss his erection problems with you, gently try to persuade him to see his GP to find out if there is a medical cause.
