While occasional issues are common, persistent erectile dysfunction can signal an underlying condition. Use this quick checklist:

• ✅ Less than 40 and suddenly struggling
• ✅ Difficulty sustaining erections more than 3 times a month
• ✅ Accompanied by chest pain, severe stress, or mood changes

If any apply, seeing a urologist or your GP is smart. They may suggest starting with:

• Lifestyle changes — sleep, diet, stress management
• Supplements — L‑arginine, D‑vitamin, ginseng
• Prescription ED pills (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) — once you’re ready and have medical clearance

Talking to a doctor doesn’t mean pills right away — it means addressing root cause and getting a plan tailored to you.
