Male - Having erection trouble from time to time isn't necessarily a cause for concern. If erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Problems getting or keeping an erection can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.

The issue with current treatments for ED is that the medication does work initially but because there is not effort by most doctors to address the cause of the condition, eventually the medication begins to not have an effect.
