Your doctor may be able to tell you why you are having problems with your erection, or he or she may refer you to a specialist if more information is needed.
How your doctor decides to treat you will depend on the cause of your erection problems. There are several different types of treatment. Together, you and your doctor will choose the one most likely to get your sex life back on track.
Listen to everything your doctor has to say about your treatment. That way you can make sure your treatment has the best chance of success. Ask questions if you're unsure about anything and make sure you go back to see your doctor so your treatment can be reviewed.
And remember, erection problems are just another of the many medical conditions your doctor treats every day, so there's no need to feel embarrassed. A satisfying sex life – and harder erections – can be achieved. But you need to ask your doctor.
