Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (sometimes referred to as impotence) can be caused by a number of psychological as well as physical factors and the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction takes this into consideration.

Discussing impotence with your partner can be difficult, we offer advice and guidance to help you understand erectile dysfunction and on where your partner can go to get appropriate advice on his condition.

Men find it more difficult to express their feelings than women and may avoid intimacy because they are embarrassed or distressed or because they see it as a reflection of their masculinity. We offer advice on how to encourage your partner to talk about impotence and help him seek diagnosis and treatment for his ED.

Men's sexual problems are often caused by physical illness - around 80% of men who have ED do so as a result of other medical ailments (such as diabetes or heart disease).

Lovelifematters helps explain the causes of erectile dysfunction so that you can support your partner in gaining appropriate diagnosis and treatment for his ED.
