  1. The sudden problem

    If you can pinpoint the exact moment you have an erection problem, and you find you can still achieve an erection in some situations, it could be that it is linked to an emotional cause.

  2. The occasional problem

    Most men will experience some kind of penile dysfunction at some point in their life. ED can be the result of stress, or anxiety, or drinking too much alcohol.

  3. The gradual problem

    If you notice a slow but continuing change in your ability to achieve hard erections in any circumstance, it may be the result of another condition such as heart-disease, hypertension (high blood-pressure) or atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries). If this sounds familiar, it's doubly important you talk to your doctor – as any underlying cause will need to be treated as well as the erectile dysfunction.
