Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Depending on the cause, erectile dysfunction may be curable but the condition is almost always treatable for most men. The first step is to visit your doctor because several health conditions and the medications that treat them can cause erectile dysfunction. I can understand it can be embarrassing to discuss sexual problems with the doctor but if you want to get treated then consulting with a doctor is must.
Erectile dysfunction is mostly psychological and because of performance anxiety, so once you remove that fear from your mind you won’t have much problem. You can do some relaxation or meditation to reduce the anxiety if the problem persists you can consult psychiatrist also for treatment.
All the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
