Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an erectile dysfunction or psychological stress. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a urologist for a physical exam and some tests like sex hormone levels, complete blood count, and blood electrolytes. If these tests result are normal, I would recommend consulting with a psychotherapist, who can help improve your situation. There are many drugs too (antidepressants) which can help with erectile dysfunction, but I recommend trying first psychotherapy.
