Erectile dysfunction: You may be describing erectile dysfunction. But that still doesn't explain why at youngish age. See your FamilyDoc for complete evaluation. Stop smoking (don't start). Exercise regularly. Eat healthy foods. Take medications as directed but also ask about potential side effects. High blood pressure, high cholesterol & diabetes linked to ED. Depression, stress & anxiety, too. How are you & partner?
