Teen ED: Analysis of data on young men presenting to a urologist with ED, ages 14 to 19 years, found that 74% of these men coming to major medical centers had a physical problem, and 60% of those had an underlying vascular problem. The rest had a variety of causes including psychological. You should see your Dr for a thorough exam and potentially a referral to a urologist. Early treatment is vital.
