Question: Hi doctor,

I’m 27 and have been having inconsistent erection issues since March of this year. It started one day where I was driving to work and felt a weird/numb sensation in my penile area and I automatically freaked out and thought I had Ed. I went to several doctors and for my hormones checked and everything came back fine. I’m having infrequent morning erections and when I am having morning erections I honestly have no idea if it would be considered rigid or not. When I masturbate sometimes I get good hard erectikns and other times okay erections. I haven’t had sex for the past 8 months but I did hook up with people and just got naked and made out with them and received oral and everything was fine for the most part. I sustained an erection the whole time when I am physically with somebody. When I masturbate my erections tend to go down if I am not horny or if I take a quick break to look for more stuff on the internet to masturbste to.

My doctors are all saying this is anxiety but I feel like it’s just a cop out. I don’t know why and how anxiety could even play a role in involuntary erectikns such as morning wood.

Is it likely a normal 27 year old would have organic ED with no cause? And also would it be possible that the ED was due to the phimosis I cured a week before having these symptoms? I had phimosis my whole life and in March I used a steroid cream to retract my foreskin and it worked. It’s still a little tight around my foreskin when I get an erecrikn. Is it possible that since the foreskin was too tight around my shaft during an erecrion that it caused internal injuries to my penile veins and arteries therefore causing inconsistent erectikns?

well the thing is it's been so long (8 months) that I've had this problem I have no idea what is considered a normal and rigid erection anymore.

Is it not possible at all that the tight foreskin when I first retracted my foreskin caused internal penile damage? I know morning erections are normal but I am not getting them often anymore that's why I think this is more of a physical issue. Is it possible that my constant worry and thoughts about phimosis caused this? Other than that, I can't think of any emotional issue.

Is there a strong possibility of a venous leak? If my testoserone levels are normal then that means the only other phsical problem would be artery and vein problems inside the penis. There could be a blood flow issue?

If it was due to stress or emotional issue than why are my morning erections being effected as well?
