I’ve tried everything to sort my erectile dysfunction
DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE tried so many different things but I’m still struggling with erectile dysfunction. I’m sick of it.
I’m 27 and wrote to you six months ago about my problems.

You suggested I visit my doctor, who checked me for any underlying health conditions.
All my tests came back clear but he did recommend I lose a little weight. So I gave up smoking, cut down on alcohol and took up running.
My girlfriend and I also stopped having sex for a few months to see if that made a difference but it didn’t.
I still only get hard every other time, and if I do, I very rarely manage to ejaculate.

A friend has similar issues and has been using Viagra. He says it’s great.
Could this work for me?
DEIDRE SAYS: Viagra can be a good solution for men who suffer with erectile dysfunction, as it increases blood flow temporarily.
But you should check with your doctor before starting any new medication.

Before you try that, consider speaking to a sex therapist. Our sexual organs are very strongly linked to our brains, so sometimes they are affected by anxiety and nerves.
