Erectile dysfunction has profound impact on a patient's quality of life. The inability to have sex makes him feel inferior or unmanly, leading to feelings of inhibition, poor self-image and self-esteem. Erectile dysfunction not only means loss of sexual satisfaction, but also adversely affects interpersonal relationships. Patients are often reluctant to admit their problems and will try to cover up their condition. They will avoid sexual contact with their partners, which often results in marriage breakdown.

If you have such problem, you should not hesitate to consult a doctor immediately. Discuss your problem with your partner and gain her support is also important as her involvement would definitely help during the progress of treatment.
