Someone who only experiences ED occasionally may find that episodes pass on their own, and choose not to seek help for it. But men who have persistent symptoms should see a clinician.
Erection problems can sometimes be a sign of an underlying illness, so it’s a good idea to have an overall health check if the problem doesn’t go away. If psychological issues are the cause, then talking to someone can help to address these and, in turn, ease symptoms.
Treatment can help men who have persistent symptoms, and men who have made lifestyle changes which haven’t been successful in helping to tackle ED. Oral treatments, such as Viagra, can often be effective at helping men to overcome erectile dysfunction. [popover id=ref2]
