If you are reading this article worried after having only one bad night – you are likely in the clear, but keep an eye out for a pattern to see if this is a lingering issue.

Ask your partner about changes

If you are in a relationship where you feel comfortable speaking to your partner about your concerns, ask them if they have any different sensations or have noticed differences in your erections over time.

Your partner may be able to provide some insight into if there are trends in dysfunction or changes over time, and will likely be willing to help you work through it together.

When to speak with a doctor

Once you have identified that there is a pattern of dysfunction or you are feeling worried or distressed from your current functioning, it is time to consult with a medical professional.

Visiting with a doctor in-person or online will help you evaluate if you are a good candidate for treatment with ED medications to help you if your ED stems from a physical problem, or if it is a psychological issue that may be better handled through couples therapy.
