Erection problems
 
Getting away from the stresses and strains of everyday life is a great opportunity to enjoy special times with your partner. You may find that being in a relaxed environment greatly reduces your worries about your erection problems, enabling you to be intimate in other ways.  
 
Simple steps to take before you go 
 

• Try to be sexually active in the weeks before you go away, so you know what you'll be capable of during your holiday.  
   
  
• Make sure you have enough medication if you are taking it for your erection problems, so you don't run out while you're away. Keep it in your hand luggage, in case the luggage you put in the hold goes missing.  
   
  
• Pack your prescription just in case your medication goes missing. This is also very useful if you are visiting a country where English isn't widely spoken. Find out from your practice nurse if there is a generic name for the medicine you are taking, so you're prepared if the brand name you're used to isn't available.

 
While you're away 
 

• Enjoy local foods especially fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood as a healthy diet may help erection problems.  
   
  
• Getting active is much easier when you are on holiday and it can help boost your testosterone levels, but consult your doctor before making any changes to your exercise routine. 
   
  
• Take the opportunity to give up smoking and drinking, which can be much easier when you are in a relaxed environment.
