Difficulty In Getting Erection. Treatment Options?

Hi i am really struggling to get hard at all. This is the case during sex and masturbation. I am only 24 and up until 2 weeks ago i was getting fully hard easilly. I have been to the doctors and had tests for sti but he didnt check for testosterone or anything just said it all looked fine. Im certain it is not fine as even during masturbation i cannot get hard and that is something i have chosen to look at still cant get hard.

Psychiatrist Dr. Srikanth Reddy's  Response
Hello,
The problem you are describing is called secondary erectile dysfunction and there has to be a psychological reason for the same especially if its occurring at 24 years of age. You need to seek a psychiatrist who can evaluate you for having depression or anxiety issues. If so you need to get treated for the same. If not then you should get adequate exercises and yes a long for play does help. Sometimes quarrel or discomfort with your partner will also lead to this kind of trouble.
Hope I have answered your query.
