Erection Problems (Erectile Dysfunction) - What Happens
Most men have occasional erection problems (erectile dysfunction). But when erection problems become persistent, they can affect your self-image, sex life, and relationship. When you have persistent erection problems, "performance anxiety" can make the problem worse.
