I was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction at 18 years old (mind you I was suffering for it a good year before actually seeking help), basically I can't get an erection full stop, besides the occasional one in the morning. I've been to see a urologist and basically he's been little to no help, gave me some blood test and prescribed me with two different E.D. medications; Levitra & Cialis, then sen't me packing. The medications helped somewhat, but nothing special other than giving me a flue feeling and headaches. I know 100 % It's not physcological, mainly cause I remember the exact moment e.d. took over my life I was a regular happy teenager, not a problem in the world then one wednesday morning I woke up and felt dead down there, putting it down to just a one off I ignored it at first but then it carried on up until this day. Also I have never smoked / used recreational drugs in my entire life and have always been a rather healthy eater and exercise/exercised regulary. Now I just don't know where to go from here? I really can't understand what caused it and really want a solution in one form or another, because as you can imagine it's really ruined any chance of having a decent relationship and my pride as a whole.

RA - Sorry I didn't respond to your post sooner. I am not a physician but I work with a variety of people who describe very dramatic changes in how they think, feel, and behave. They can often pinpoint the moment, day, or week in their lives that something changed. From those experiences and what you have described, I would like you to consider three possible culprits - a traumatic event of some kind, a psychological conflict, or a neurological problem. If you haven't gotten your primary physician involved in this please do and ask him/her what their thoughts are about possible physical causes. See another urologist if you are not satisfied with the treatment you have received and finally go see a mental health practitioner just to rule out the possibility of an emotional cause. I know that you are fairly sure that this is not emotionally based but you owe it to yourself to be persistent and thorough in your search for a solution.

listen my freind you are 18 years old you have youth on your side that youth is able to be trained and worked with untill it finally wakes up oh my god your so young and have your whole life ahead of you maybe you should focus on more life changing expieiences like college and finding yourself who you are you have time so much time if you have never had sex consider that a blessing in disquise mu husband was a virgin untill he was 21 don worry about the organ that not been used or has been used put it on the back burner and work on what else makes you who you are i know that sex to you must be a realy big thing in a young mans world but i feel once you stop dwelling about what might not be a disorder but maybe a underevelopment inside you focusing on other stuff like cars college family jobs and yes faith in god video games being happy of what you have family and friends recognize it you should too! and first of all your way to young to be going to a urologist stay away from them this problem to you is a minor set back believe me your going to have bigger and badder ones as you get older theis is petty dont worry kkkkkkkkkkkkk
