Hypogonadism: Our body at age 26 does not stop making testosterone without a good reason. You need to have your morning testosterone level checked, along with thyroid panel and liver enzymes. Most ED at your age group ususally is pyschogenic cause, but hormonal etiology and mechanical sources must be ruled out.
