Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

ED: ED can be from physical or psychological causes, sometimes a combo of both. Please start by visiting your doctor to determine if there is a physical cause. Then consider seeing a licensed sex therapist or clinical psychologist to address psychological aspects. Peace and good health.
