Dr. Sheldon Brownstein answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Erection: Inability to have an erection requires a systemic work up tomake sure you are healthy. It is important to rule out diabetes and coronary artery disease as well as to make sure hormones are normal. Would recommend a good history and physical from your family doctor
