Can Erectile Dysfunction Due To Thoughts Of One's Partner With Another Lover Be Treated?
My wife had an affair, but we are trying to work things out but I can t get an erection without taking a dietary supplement pill that s bought over the counter. Now they aren t working, a couple times it was really good and we enjoyed each other, but I keep thinking about him being with her and can t get anything going. My wife is beautiful, but I feel useless and not like a man. I went to ED doctor and he gave me testosterone gel, said my level was just over 300 which was in the normal range. I don t know if my problem is physical or mental. I m getting really frustrated trying to figure out whats wrong with me. Can you please help me?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

Your problem is not physical its more likely to be mental stress. Because erectile dysfunction is mostly due to stress or depression or performance anxiety so kindly consult psychiatric and get treatment accordingly.
