Erectile dysfunction is a very common condition, particularly in older men. It is estimated that half of all men between 40 and 70 years of age will experience erectile dysfunction at some point.
It is vital to have erectile dysfunction investigated by an experienced doctor to ensure that it is not a symptom of a wider health problem. Treatment of erectile dysfunction without investigation of wider health issues is unfortunately common – we consider this irresponsible practice.
Possible physical causes include heart disease, diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and hormonal problems.
Erectile dysfunction can also have psychological causes such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Our experienced therapist, Dr. Ali Shakir, can help you overcome the emotional issues getting in the way of your sex life and happiness.
