Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse is the primary symptom. This can happen consistently or intermittently. Pay attention to the frequency and severity of this issue. If it occurs more than 25% of the time, it warrants attention.
Other Potential Indicators
Reduced libido (sex drive) is another common sign. This might manifest as decreased interest in sexual activity or intimacy. Note any changes in your desire for sex compared to the past. Also, be aware of any changes in the quality of your erections; even if you can achieve an erection, it might be less firm or sustained than before. Finally, consider any feelings of anxiety or stress surrounding sexual performance. These emotional factors often play a significant role.
If you experience these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve your quality of life.
